Best wishes for the holidays

It’s been a long and busy term and everyone is quite ready for a rest. Best wishes from Avonmore for a happy holiday.  We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Winter Production

As Christmas is rapidly approaching, we have now performed our play! In my opinion (and Miss Driscoll’s) it was the best one yet! The few weeks spent practising finally paid off as the whole crowd found our play hilariously amazing!  Great work by everyone involved!

Winter Gifts

To make the fair as enjoyable for everyone as possible, each class, starting from Nursery, made something to sell or set up an activity stall. Nursery and Reception’s reindeer poo truffles tasted much better than they sound, and was my favourite treat yet. Year 1 and 2 made their own glittery goodie jars each containing a handful of yummy surprises. Year 3 put in a lot of effort making little cotton-stuffed felt Christmas tree decorations. Their effort paid off as they earned £50! Year 4 made some funny reindeer cookies with sweet smiles. Lastly, Year 5 and 6 started a fun biscuit-and-cake-decorating activity. Everybody at the fair had loads of fun so Merry Christmas to everyone!

Avonmore on Ice

This week the whole of KS2 got to go to Westfield Shopping Centre ice rink.  We stayed there for an hour each.  For the children who had trouble skating there was a seal that you could sit on or push. There was also a penguin that you could push. Afterwards we got a few gifts.  An exciting event which happened was running into Amanda Holden, who is a judge on Britian's Got Talent. She was watching her own child skate on the rink but she took some time out to pose for a picture with our students!  We all enjoyed ourselves, well I did anyway!  

For a short while we had the rink all to ourselves

We didn't know seals could skate!

Steady now!

Does Avonmore have talent?

Merry Christmas Rudolph!

For this year’s Christmas Fair, we have some special visitors! Santa has come, as usual, but this time he’s brought his pet reindeer and snowy owl! (Not exactly Rudolph, but play along with it). We were first given the opportunity for individual and class pictures , but when the actual fair starts we will do pictures with our friends and family. Santa is feeling very generous and is giving us books as well as our main Christmas present!

Christmas tree decorating assembly

This week there was a tree decorating assembly. To start off the assembly the choir sang Winds through the Olive Trees and Mary had a baby. Then, three students came up to the front and read their wishes which they placed on the Christmas tree. The whole school then sang Gloria and Christmas Tree.  Some parents came to watch their children sing !!!!

Year 5 with Father Christmas

This afternoon everyone is awaiting the Christmas Fair!  This year, the Christmas Fair is going to have a reindeer and a snow owl! Every class has taken a picture with Father Christmas this afternoon. All and all, everyone is very excited and preparing to have fun!
