Spectacular School Journey

This is the first week back to school for some lucky Year five and six students. So, on the first day of the school journey all the students came to school at eight o clock in the morning.  The coach ride was enjoyable, but most of us were confused when we stopped… at the ferry port! Finally! Then we took a ferry, ate our lunch, had a peep at the views then arrived at the Isle of Wight. We took one more coach before walking the rest of the way. Firstly, we had a quick tour of the centre. On the second day the activities began. On the second day we played pirate strategio. The best highlights were tree climbing because the tree was huge and how fun it was, oh boy, 100%! Another highlight was the raft building. Overall, the week was a fun week with learning provided!

The longest walk EVER!

What grows on tress? Children, of course! 

Who brought the marshmallows? 

The Summer Fair's Arrival

Just as a reminder for everyone that the summer fair is this Saturday, 27th June, from 12:00-16:00, and the theme is medieval so bring your swords and your best war chants! Hope to see everyone there!

Could you be the medieval face of 2015? 

Summer Weather is Here!

Welcome summer weather! I wonder what this means for the Avonmore students? Please remember to bring in a water bottle to keep in class and stay hydrated and refreshed.  It would also be a good idea to bring in a cap and put sun cream on before leaving the house so your skin is protected from the sun’s rays. So, everyone, let’s look after ourselves in the summer! 

A selection of sun hats!

See, the frog even knows how to stay safe in the sun! 

Lights, Camera, Action!

Last week year 6 auditioned for parts in the production of Bugsy Malone. Pressure took over the children wondering if they got the part they wanted. Sadly, some kids are disappointed with the results but some are as cheerful as Mr Happy. But, that’s showbiz, kids! The students have been talking about their results ever since the auditions. Guess all we can do now is wait for the rehearsals!

Year 3 swimming

In year 3 we have had the chance to learn to swim. It’s been fun to have this opportunity. Our coaches have been really nice to us but they are a bit strict. We have been divided into different groups depending on how we swim or how good we are. Some of us get to jump into the pool which is really FUN! In one group they learnt how to do: front crawl, back stroke and rocket. And in another group they learnt pencil float, back pencil float and back stroke. We feel lucky to have this opportunity because swimming is an important life skill!

Packing for school journey

Welcome to the first week back and now it’s time to get back into going to school again.  I, and other students, am excited about the upcoming school journey. Here’s a reminder of the list of things those of you going have to bring: toiletries, towel, flannel, swim suit, swimming towel, sun cream, baseball cap, comfortable outdoor shoes, spare trainers, slippers, 4 x change of clothes, underwear, socks, torch, backpack, a black sack and a bottle.  And, importantly, don’t bring any electronics such as mobile phones. Anyway, I’m looking forward to going on school journey!!!  

Let's hope the students aren't as crabby as this fellow!
