Final Thought


My favourite memories of Avonmore, somethings I’ll always remember, are the teachers and their reassuring words. I will always remember the blog and how I joined in year 5.  For our leaving production, we performed Grease and we both enjoyed playing our roles that we auditioned for! Our favourite song was Greased Lightning.  This is our final blog this year and then we go to secondary school.  Missing Avonmore already!!!

 

Sports Day!

On  Wednesday 10th July 2013 we had Sports Day! The destination for Sports Day was at Holland Park once again. The teams were named after famous athletes. Luckly, the second date for Sports Day was not taking a rain check and we enjoyed ourselves a lot in the sunshine. The activites for Sports Day were: the egg and spoon race, space hoppers race, skipping race, dribbling skills, the sack race, hockey penalties and the big sprinting race!

Fun Week!


Stroking the Goats
The children who didn’t go to the school journey still had a fun time as they went on enjoyable outings such as a trip to the farm. There were many weird and wonderful animals such as a horse called DJ. The pupils also got to try making their very own pizzas, with the help of Pizza Express. Everyone loved the taste -each child received two slices of it! One of the most memorable experiences was the Peter Pan Playground, where they got to play on a huge wooden pirate ship in the sand.  It was an exciting week!

Egyptians facts from the British Museum


On Tuesday 25th of June 2013, Year 5 went to the British Museum to continue learning more about the Egyptians. There was a lot of exciting yet knowledgeable information about the Egyptians. First, we were handed a booklet. The booklet gave us questions that we can only answer using information within the British Museum. There was a wide range of rooms about the Egyptians that we could use information for our learning!  Later, we saw the Rosetta stone and we saw all the three languages written on the sacred stone. The three languages were the ancient Egypt hieroglyphics, demonic and Greek script. Overall, the Year 5s had a fun and educational day!

Avonmore Summer Fair 2013


 
 
On Saturday 29th June, Avonmore hosted yet another Summer Fair! It was all colours and smiles as despite the hot weather this year’s fair was a great success. There were many fun rides, activities and  interesting stalls for children to enjoy. The food there was scrumptious- sweets, cakes, salads, popcorn, more sweets, burgers, strawberries and cream, candyfloss, even more sweets and much, much more. It was a great day out!
