On Tuesday, 24th September 2013, the Lifebus
visited Avonmore. Year 6 were learning about `Drugs Education’. We had some
cards that had clues and we had to figure out what the drug was. Some of the
clues were `It Can Be Drunk’ and `It can be an ingredient in a cake’. We also
saw a short film about a person named Jack and his friends. His parents were
away and his friends were coming to his house. They had nothing to do and were
trying to force Jack to drink beer but his friends were standing up for him.
So, the moral of the story is to stand up for your friends and yourself. In the
end we saw Harold the giraffe for maybe the last time!

Harvest at Avonmore
At Avonmore we celebrated harvest with our very own apple
tree! We have harvested the delicious food that has grown in our school garden,
including the apples. All the classes in the school have taken part in a
competition where we had to collect as much food as we could. All donations
went to a charity called Age UK. For our harvest assembly all the classes
preformed either a song or told us some information about harvest. Overall, it
was a bountiful experience!

Introducing our new staff!
We
interviewed the 4 new staff members at Avonmore. Here’s what they had to say!
Helen, who works in year 2, Miss West, who is the nursery teacher, Miss McKenna, who helps students with
reading and Sylvia, who works in year 5
were all excited about starting at a new school. Miss West added that she was
also a little scared. We asked Miss West what’s the best thing about Avonmore
so far? She replied she enjoys the lovely friendly children at school. We asked
Miss McKenna the same question and she said the best thing is the amazing
children who all want to learn. It sounds like Miss West, Miss McKenna and
Sylvia are all having a good time so far at our school!

The New Year 6 Class
After the holidays,
the year 5 pupils have moved up to year 6! It’s so exciting being in our last
year at Avonmore. For some of us it’s the first time Miss Driscoll has been
teaching us. It’s only our second week back but we’ve already started doing
tests! Despite all the hard lessons, we
still enjoy learning in our new class. Being the oldest class in the school
means a whole lot more responsibilities, so many of us have applied for these
positions. Some of these positions include: office prefect, playground friends,
recycling and watering of plants to name a few. So, this year is going to be a
challenging and exciting time for us.
Welcome Back!
Hello everyone! All the students have just come back from
the long summer holidays for first week, filled with memories of their
holidays. Oh the excitement of coming back! Everyone is settling into their new
classes and are enjoying learning about their new teachers. This year new teachers have
come into the school to work and we are looking forward to getting to know them
better. Here’s to an exciting 2013-14 academic year!
