Leaving Avonmore

Here we are the last week of school and it has been a wonderful eight years at Avonmore. I’ve had a great time as well as a great education.  Over the years I’ve had a number of great teachers that have boosted my learning and experiences.  I especially enjoyed year four because I got to work with Miss Cotten to improve my English through fun games and activities. A year later I was chosen to take part in blog with my computing teacher.  It was a really fun experience and now this is the last post I will be uploading which is sad because I really enjoyed the time I had.  However, I now have a new school to be looking forward to.  Farewell, Avonmore, it’s been a blast!!!
This is not goodbye: it's see you later.

Sports Day 2015

Sports Day was very enjoyable! First we walked to the huge playing field in Holland Park and sat in our team lines that were named after countries. Then we went to our first activities. My team's first activities were the sack race and bean bag balance. There were also lots of other fun activities such as egg and spoon, space hoppers and dribbling. My favourite activity was the running races. I came 4th in the races which is pretty good. Then we had lunch. We had a nice long rest and saw a nice dog and we patted it. Then we got into our classes and went back to school. At school there was a big award ceremony and our team won an award for the sack race. It was a good sporty day!

Year 3’s Muddy Day Out

We walked to the train station and it took about ten minutes to get there. Then we had to walk a little bit longer until we came to a small house by the River Thames. We learnt about the wildlife on the River Thames and found out lots. Then we had lunch and walked to the Thames. We were looking for ancient pottery and found several pieces! My favourite part of the day was when we got really, really muddy as we searched for ancient artefacts. It was such a great day out!

It would be tricky to climb this tree!

Mud, mud and more mud!

You have to have a sharp eye to find ancient pottery in this mess!
