Our New Playground

Here at Avonmore in key stage 2, we have recently installed a new playground structure and things like a trampoline, monkey bars and new basket ball hoops. I have managed to get some pupils’ opinions on the new equipment. Here they are:
A pupil in Year 6 said, “I like all the new stuff but I like the trampoline the best.” Another girl in Year 5 said, “I LOVE the monkey bars best because there is not usually a big queue.”
So, in conclusion nearly everyone in the key Stage 2 seems to be proud of our new playground. It’s going to take some getting used to but the best thing is nobody’s going to get bored of it in a hurry!

Head dissapointed by incomplete playground!!!!!!!!!!!

On the 21st September, I interviewed Mr. Hale, our head teacher, about the new playground.
Q: Are you disappointed that the playground didn't get finish on time?
A: I am very disappointed but pleased that it's finished now.
Q: How long do you think it will take to finish?
A: It was supposed to finish on the 30thof August.
Q: How much money did you use for the whole playground change?
A: £60,000.
Q: How many times has the school playground been changed since you started here?
A: For the last 16 years probably 5 or 6 times but the change that just happened now is the biggest that has happened.
Q: Do you think the newest built playground is better than any playgrounds built for our school?A: Yes, I think it's a great improvement and I am glad that the top playground children have something to climb on.
Q: When was the last time you changed the playground?
A: The last change was building the brick wall in 2005.
Q: Do you think it would be better if you used the money for something else other than the playground?
A: No, I think it was the best thing to spend the money on at this time.
Q: If you had the money (which you probably have) would you change the playground every year?
A: No, because it costs a lot of money to make changes every year, though we might make small changes but not big ones.

Yr 6's Rights and Responsibilities

The yr 6s are proud to have so many responsibilities such as being wet play monitors, recycling and many more. Not everyone was lucky enough to be able to pick their own jobs because they were absent. I’m very proud because I’m trusted with a job. Yr 6s are happy because they know that the teachers trust them and the whole school trusts them as well.
There is only one more job left-office prefects (when 4 students cover the office when the staff are having their lunch).
Shall I apply to be an office prefect?

Goodbye

During our time in Avonmore we have enjoyed the physical education and sport facilities. We have also enjoyed the clubs such as football club and sports club. We had a lot of fun at the year 6 leavers’ party and we have had Miss Mathews for two years and really enjoyed our time with her. Being on the blog was a very fun and challenging time but myself and the other bloggers had really enjoyed it.This is our last post and from us we say goodbye.
PS: We couldn’t have done it without DJ Cotten, Miss Mathews, Miss O’sullivan and last but not least Mr Hale.

The Last Two Days

This is Yr 6’s last week in Avonmore Primary School which means this is the last blog update from us Year 6 pupils 2011. Because we haven’t been updating recently we are going to put lots of recent events all together in one post . We have two lovely days of parties and we also have a disco. We couldn’t have done this without Dj Cotten and the rest of the teachers. We have one more play that we are doing tonight which is Midsummer Night’s Dream. We are all very excited and very upset that we are probably not going to see each other again. We also had a school talent contest and the group Mask from year 5 won the contest. We are really going to miss Avonmore. Thank you! Hope you enjoyed J
P.S. bye bye Avonmore. We will miss you! From Kai and Tate Y6

Table Tennis

Our school has our very own table tennis board. We have a school route on Mondays year 6 get to play, on Tuesday year 5 get to play, on Wednesday year 4 get to play, on Thursday and on Friday all of us get to play. We have a lot of fun but I guess we need a lot of practice. We are in charge of taking it out putting it back inand taking care of the equipment.

On the 1st of March year 6 went to the Bank of England. We went to a workshop about money. There were four clips which were about 4 minutes long. We had to be security checked in the beginning then we went to the workshop. After the workshop we went to the museum.There was a bar of gold and loads of experiments about money and how it’s organised. After we went St Pauls Cathedral to eat lunch. There, the buildings were really big. Then’ we took the train back to West Kensington and we walked all the way to school.We arrived at 3:00pm.That was our day at the Bank of England!
