Welcome back

The summer months have now concluded and September is here! Throughout the summer holiday some people travelled far across the globe! Some destinations included America, France, Brazil, Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey and Afghanistan. Myself, I went to America and Corsica!!! The start of the new academic year of 2012-13 means that we’re back at school already and working hard. And with the New Year comes some different rules. We have a stricter school uniform, and we look smarter because of that. All of the children have moved up a year. This year I’ve moved up to year 6 so I will have to work extra hard because of the SATS. I’m enjoying the New Year so far and I love the big classroom! It’s amazing looking back at all of the years that I’ve been in, and once this year has passed I will be very sad to leave this wonderful school.

The London 2012 Olympic Games

The Olympic Games were in London from 27 July-12 Aug. First was the opening ceremony which lasted more than 2 hours but it was worth it! It was so beautiful, very well acted and the entrance of the queen was awesome! And, there was even SKYDIVING FROM A HELICOPTER! Supposedly the queen did this (wink wink). After an eventful and thrilling 2 weeks the final medal count was as follows: 1st USA with 104 medals Gold 46 Silver Bronze 29 2nd China with 88 medals Gold 38 Silver 27 Bronze 23 3rd GBR with 65 medals Gold 29 Silver 17 Bronze 19 Hosting the 2012 Olympic games and Paralympics was extraordinary and fun to watch. It was certainly a once in a lifetime event!

NEW TEACHER AT AVONMORE!

Year 5 has got a new teacher! Her name is Miss Jewers and she’s new to Avonmore! She’s very friendly but (like most teachers) there is a point where kids drive her mad and then she’s strict again... never mind that! She smiles almost ALL the time, speaks clearly, is very easy to understand and is great at reading stories (especially the class book, There’s a Boy in the Girls Bathroom.) She always is on the lookout, watching kids chatting and showing  bad behaviour. She is the perfect Year 5 teacher and we all hope she will stay that way!

The year 6 football match

On Friday 14^th September the year 6’s went to Hurlingham Park to play a football match against Sir John Lily. Their football skills were excellent compared to ours. Our defenders were good so the opposing team only scored 1 goal against us! However, when the subs went on the opponent scored seven goals! So, we lost 8-0.  It was tragic! We had tried really hard. Next time, we will try better!
