Following our interview with Mrs Standing,She has surprisingly tickled our taste buds with a delicious fruit cake. This was a total surprise and the bloggers didn't expect a thing!!! It was scrumptious and the bloggers ate it in one piece, without any arguing at all...

Oh I do like to be beside the sea side

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

How do you do make decision?

I usually make decisions by flipping a coin if I have one.

A year 5 student said they make decisions by playing rock, paper, scissors

Someone else said that they weigh up all the options and then decide.

Sometimes we make decisions for the election or for who is going to be school council.

The school council is a very important decision to make. They help fundraise for charity’s. This is a good practice for when you become an adult and have to make very tough decisions.

The election is an extremely important decision to make because it for the London Mayor.

Year 4’s Trip to Kidzania!

Kidzania is a world of wonders, where you can make your dreams come true! That’s exactly what Year 4 did! Kidzania is a place where you can be anything you want. For example a Fire-fighter, a Policeman, an Al Jazeera   news reporter, or even climb a building! You can make Cadbury chocolate and an Innocent Smoothie! They give you 50 Kidzo’s to start with and the city is called Kidzania City. 

                                                                            

                                                                             

!Daily mile with a smile!

Miss Chaouki has started a new craze called the daily mile. It evolves all the   classes running, jogging or walking (plus chatting to your friends) For 15 minutes any time of the day. It is to exercise yourself so you are not too tired to learn! We will be doing it in the top playground, by the way one mile is 16 laps around the top playground (tiring I know!).But you don’t need to do all 16 laps on your first try! We will work up to it as a goal. Class teachers have to start on 3^rd of May! The daily mile is super fun, see you then friends!

Its Goood To Be Green!

Good  news in Avonmore!

 

We are learning to take the responsibility for our own   behaviour!  You may wonder how.  Well with our new 'It's good to be green  boards.

 

'It's good to be green' is a new indicative to help all Avonmore children improve their behaviour. Everyone starts the day green, which means a green card and hopefully the day finishes on green. 

For misbehaving a warning is given, followed by the amber card, unless of course behaviour improves.  If it doesn't, well the red consequence card is given.  We hope you don't get that one!  Remember, it's so good to be green.

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.
