The Past Helps Fund-raise for Sports Relief!

On the 16^th March, Avonmore had a day to fundraise for Sports Relief. The majority of the school dressed up as athletes or wore clothes from the snazzy 80s and 90s. We even had someone dressed as the footballer from the fake goal incident, Maradona! Sports Relief brings together the worlds of sport and entertainment to raise money to help vulnerable people in both the UK and the world's poorest countries. In the morning, years 4 and 6 had a fun activity in which they got into teams of 4. Then they ran around the playground, searching for pictures of famous athletes. While they were searching, they filled up a chart of the names of the athletes and their sport. Throughout the day, different classes went with another class to the top playground to do a variety of activities. Year 5 and 6 played dodgeball and 1 and 2 ran an obstacle course that included hurdles. It was a great flashback to the past that we will never forget!

Farewell My Friend...

As we have known for a few weeks now, our beloved head teacher, Mr Hale, is leaving us this week. We decided that we should ask him a few questions.

Q1: How was your time in Avonmore?

A1: I don’t know how to answer this questions because there’s so many things that have happened, but it has never been dull or boring and I have laughed a lot.

Q2: What’s your favourite thing about the school?

A2: I think my favourite thing about the school is the openness of the school site which make us part of the community and aside from the work, it’s a place where children can have fun.

Q3: If you could improve or add anything to the school, what would it be?

A3: Make places to park scooters, a bigger hall, a big kitchen to cook school meals, maybe a music room, a swimming pool, swings, a see-saw, a go-cart track and perhaps a place for ponies.

Q4: Are you happy with the new head teacher?

A4: Mrs Standing seems like a very nice lady and she seems very caring and thoughtful and wants to know all about the school.

Q5: Will the bloggers still get special treatment?

A5: You’re going to need to ask your new editorial chief.

Q6: Do you want to leave?

A6: I feel very sad to be leaving but that’s because there’s a lot of good and happy memories and a lot of people, but the sadness is, I think, healthy. It has been a very happy time and I think it’s time for me to finish at Avonmore and to let someone else be the head teacher with new ideas and things they want to do.

The Great Escape.

Houses of Parliament trip!

On Wednesday 5^th of March all the School Council went to the Houses of Parliament. They went by tube from West Kensington to Westminster and had a fantastic time. When we got there we got a tour of the Houses of Parliament and went to the House of Lords and St Stevens hall. Afterwards we went to the education centre and went in a workshop. In it, we learnt about the Suffragettes who were a group of woman who wanted woman to be allowed to vote. They chained themselves to a rail so that the men would let them vote! How ridiculous is that!? And we also learnt people should be treated equally. After that we had our lunch and got some badges some people got a poster.

A Day of Leaping

You know those cool little flip animations that Google puts up when there’s a special event? Well, there was one yesterday. As many of you may know, yesterday was a special day that only ever happens every 4 years. No, it’s not the Olympics. This special day is called a leap day. In February, there are 28 days. But, on leap years, there are 29 days in February which means we have one extra day at school (boo hoo!) and 366 days in the year. But, there is one question that lingers in my mind.

Does it make sense that we call it a leap year?

Avonmore's Unfortunate Loss in Football- A Recount from One of the Player

Avonmore and Melcombe’s teams had worked hard and had finally got to the final match out of the first six although only one team could win the match.

The match was played at Hurlingham Park on Friday 26^th. At the previous match Avonmore played really well (but they have never met a team as good as Melcombe!). Melcombe’s team was wearing blue and yellow and at the same time Avonmore were wearing green, white and yellow. During the first half, Avonmore controlled the ball perfectly but Melcombe did edge in a goal. Lucky for Avonmore, one team member scored a goal. It was 1-1.

During the second half, it was getting tougher. Not too long after the referee blew his whistle and the two teams shook hands and the outcome was 3-1 to Melcombe. It was a shame because we lost but Melcombe were a really good team.

Is Avonmore in or out…EU part 2?

Will UK survive on its own or will there be a civil war about food, housing, taxes, bills and shipping from EU. We think UK should stay in the EU because if we weren’t in the EU then traveling through euro star would cost a lot. It is £99 now but it will become more.
