Due To Be Daffodils?

Did you notice anything blooming in the ks1 playground? It’s bright yellow and very beautiful…Daffodils! Daffodils are just about to bloom in the ks1  playground so keep an eye on them and who knows when they’re going to be actual daffodils? What are the daffodils going to do when the winter returns? Will they still be here?  

#Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree Let’s Say Goodbye to you! #

Let’s say good bye to our Christmas tree and hello to spring. Our Christmas tree is currently by the entrance of the top playground, tied to two trees looking nice. On the past Christmas tree we’ve made spoons, coasters and naughts and crosses. We made bricks out of the old Christmas tree decorations and are now in the corridor,  feel free to come take a look. If you have any ideas of what to do with the Christmas tree come to Mr Hale.

Introducing Miss Lawrence, Part 2

Okay, we’re back with part 2 of Introducing Miss Katie Lawrence; so you know what that means, interview time!

Firstly, what age did you start learning an instrument?

I learnt the recorder when I was in Reception.

Next question, what is your favourite instrument?

That is a very hard question but I am going to have to go with the Irish Bazouki.

What is your favourite song?

Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Lastly, are you enjoying your stay?

Yes, I am very impressed!

So that was Miss Katie Lawrence’s interview. Make sure she feels welcome!

Brilliant Boats!

On Wednesday 13^th January Year 5 went on a massive World War 2 war cruiser! We went by train to Tower Hill and saw a great view of the river! When we got there we got in to our groups and went exploring! There was a gun turret experience, it smelt like oil and gas! There were another 4 upper decks, as well as 2 lower deck floors! It was so big most of the groups got lost and had a reason for it, it was really big! We had 3 hours to “explore!” and then went to have lunch. There were lots of greedy pigeons around but they flew away. We walked to Mansion House Station and everyone was exhausted! By the end of the day we were so sleepy we could’ve slept a whole year! But everyone did have a fun time!

Surprising, fact filling Saint Paul’s cathedral

On Friday 8^th January Year 2 went on a trip to Saint Paul’s Cathedral. They travelled by tube. As they arrived a man called Steve guided them to the cloak room. After that, their first activity was about the fire of London and who could recall the most facts. Next, they were split into two groups and went to go see eye catching statues in the church. Then, they ate lunch and finally they went to see the huge dome.

Welcome back!

After a long winter holiday we welcome back all of Avonmore. Hope that everyone in the school had a good Christmas and happy new year!  As it is getting a lot colder remember to wear your hats, coats and scarf. The leaves are falling down off the trees as it is really cold. Stay warm!  

Happy days 

Introducing the Musician, Miss Lawrence

*Sigh*  It’s been a while now since Avonmore could proudly say, ‘we have a savvy music teacher’. But that has been brought back since there is a new music teacher! (This isn’t breaking news this is fixing news!) Her name is Miss Lawrence and she will be helping pupils with their musical spirit on Mondays and Tuesdays.

So that was the fixing news and hopefully Avonmore will settle back into their old lessons.

Stay tuned (get it, tuned, music!) for part two, an interview with Miss Lawrence.

                        

Arts and Crafts Day!

Recently the School Council organised a very fun day for Avonmore! It’s arts and crafts day! Arts and Crafts day is when we all choose 4 fun activities to do and on the day we did them! There was Sewing Puppets, there was computer fun, fridge magnets, designing T-shirts, painting and in the afternoon there was song writing and there was origami. The theme for the day was peace and we all made new friends from other classes. What a fun occasion!        

Hi

Hello Miss Cotten, we are blogging.  Hope you are having a relaxing afternoon.
Mr Hale.
