Twas the week before Christmas

Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the school

Not a maths book was stirring, not even Earl's tools

For two weeks in December Mr. Hale says “Stay away!”

For he hopes everyone has a safe holiday.

Merry Christmas everyone! 

Avonmore library’s singing angels

On the 16^th of December at 2:30, year 5 will be visiting Avonmore Library to sing Christmas carols for the visiting community. They will sing Silent Night, Let it Snow, The Twelve Days of Christmas, and Jingle Bells. They hope all the people will enjoy their sweet singing.

I'm dreaming of a white performance in Avonmore

Lights! Camera! Action!

The Christmas tree

Earlier this month Avonmore’s Christmas tree arrived.  To decorate it each class made a decoration.  This year’s theme was white.  In year 6, students made snowflakes and year 5 made pom poms.  I think the Christmas tree is very well decorated and looking festive!

The best tree ever

A Little Local Stroll

On the 19^th of November, year 5 had a stroll around Avonmore’s local area to investigate what kind of transport would create the least pollution. We started by observing the traffic on Hammersmith Road. We were curious about how many cars there were. We discovered cars were the most popular means of transport at that time. We all thought about how much pollution the cars were making. For instance, if all of us came by car, we will create more pollution than if we all took the same bus. The most environmentally friendly way to come to school is to walk because it creates no pollution. I certainly wish people try to think carefully about how they come to school. 

Does Avonmore have a religion?

This is a question we explored. If it did, what would it be like? What would be its values and pillars? We began questioning this after one of the blogs a student wrote wondered what it would be like if Avonmore had a religion. The bloggers brainstormed and discussed this. Here we present ‘The Six Towers of the Avonmorisable Religion’:

1.     You have to be polite at all times.

2.     You need to work hard and do the most amount of learning possible.

3.     You always have to persevere in everything you do.

4.     You must try to attend school every day – every day counts.

5.     You have to be honest and not tell lies otherwise no-one will believe you.

6.     You must always help your peers if they are in need.

What do you think of the Avonmore ‘Towers’? 

Can you think of another important value for Avonmore?
