Shakespeare's play

Last week we watched a play called Shakespearience and it was really good! The first act was Romeo and Juliet, then it was The Merchant of Venice, and lastly, it was Macbeth. There was also a band called the Percelts who were very musically talented! My favourite part was the Merchant of Venice because my favourite line was when Shylock said, “I want a pound of your flesh nearest the heart.” But the lawyer replied, “You should not shred a drop of blood,” which is impossible. They were really good at acting and they had great costumes. The performance was brilliant: we learned so much!

Wasted!!!!

On the 20th of January there was a group called Wasted who came to visit our school. They told us about how people can give you drugs even if they don’t look like they do. Another year six class from Sacred Heart Primay came to watch, too. They peformed a play about how you should never take drugs even if your friends do it. They chose two different people to be one of the characters and to try to change the situation which was very funny because the chosen students were laughing a lot of the time. The peformance was brilliant!! And, it was educational!

KS2 Carol Concert
On Wednesday 5th December, there was the KS2 concert. Year 6 had been preparing for the concert all week. They had been singing in the hall, classroom and in front of an audience. The students had to arrive at 17:35 to change into their outfits. We were all dressed as Christmas carolers. Everybody was excited. We walked into the hall and all the parents were looking at us which made me feel nervous. The time came for us to sing. There was a band of people playing lots of instruments. We nailed the concert. The concert was a success!

Santa came to Avonmore!

Before the Christmas break, the KS1 students had a very special guest from the North Pole! It was Santa Claus! He arrived in a red suit and carried a sack full of presents. Each of the students happily received a present! Even the staff were happy to see hi m. However, the staff didn’t receive any presents unfortunately!

Our little Mozarts

In year 6, our music teacher chose 15 year 6 students to participate in recorder lessons. We play Yamaha recorders which cost five pounds each to purchase. Starting last term, Thursday mornings at 9:00 to 9:30 in the school hall, we learn new notes each lesson and then play a new piece of music. We have been going for a few weeks from now. I have learned a great deal about recorder music and am looking forward to the remainder of the sessions!

NO BLUES AT THE BLUES

On the 4 November, year 6 went to the Chelsea stadium on a tour. We took bus 28. Everybody was bursting to walk around the stadium. When we got there we met the tour guide. The first thing we did was take a tour in the Chelsea stadium.
There were lots of interesting facts. Do you know why Chelsea’s colour is blue? Cheslea is blue because a long time ago Chelsea had a Scotish manager and his favourite team was the Rangers, who wore blue and white striped kits, so he made Chelsea the same colour.
Also, we learned that it was a night in October 1954 that during a match between Chelsea vs Wolves they had their biggest number of fans-75,000.
When the stadium tour was over we went to the signing room were the manager signs new playthe field. Later, we took a bus to school. Everybody was so happy. That was our time at Chelsea. ers.
After we left the room, we went to have our lunch. It took no more then 30 minutes to eat.
After we had lunch, we met Michael Foreman, a famous illustrator for children’s books. He told us about his childhood. The book was called War Boy and it is all about him. After that, he told us about the books he had written and the one he is writing now. He promised he would draw a picture for us. The picture was so funny because in front of the class’s picture, he drew a pirate with a bird pooing on his head, the Titantic sinking and an octupus holding a person.
We also met Paul Canoville who was the first black Chelsea in the 1980s. He told us about the racism and discrimation that he faced on

Cakes and football

This term, for 6 Wednesdays, a group of students went to do activities at the Chelsea stadium. We were having tours around the stadium and playing games, and even did a maths test! Then the second to last week we got tickets to see Chelsea vs Wolves. 4 of us won a haiku poem competition and got to walk on the pitch at the beginning of the match. The overall score was 2 – 0 to .......... CHELSEA!!!! Malouda scored the first goal and Kalou with the finishing goal. Actually I’m quite fond of Chelsea myself. Jeff, our Chelsea hub instructor, gave us cakes during the match. Some of us were filmed to be on the Chelsea website: http://www.chelseafc.com/.
