Lights, Camera, Action!

Last week year 6 auditioned for parts in the production of Bugsy Malone. Pressure took over the children wondering if they got the part they wanted. Sadly, some kids are disappointed with the results but some are as cheerful as Mr Happy. But, that’s showbiz, kids! The students have been talking about their results ever since the auditions. Guess all we can do now is wait for the rehearsals!

Year 3 swimming

In year 3 we have had the chance to learn to swim. It’s been fun to have this opportunity. Our coaches have been really nice to us but they are a bit strict. We have been divided into different groups depending on how we swim or how good we are. Some of us get to jump into the pool which is really FUN! In one group they learnt how to do: front crawl, back stroke and rocket. And in another group they learnt pencil float, back pencil float and back stroke. We feel lucky to have this opportunity because swimming is an important life skill!

Packing for school journey

Welcome to the first week back and now it’s time to get back into going to school again.  I, and other students, am excited about the upcoming school journey. Here’s a reminder of the list of things those of you going have to bring: toiletries, towel, flannel, swim suit, swimming towel, sun cream, baseball cap, comfortable outdoor shoes, spare trainers, slippers, 4 x change of clothes, underwear, socks, torch, backpack, a black sack and a bottle.  And, importantly, don’t bring any electronics such as mobile phones. Anyway, I’m looking forward to going on school journey!!!  

Let's hope the students aren't as crabby as this fellow!

Planting Seeds

One sunny morning in Avonmore year 2 were planting seeds.  Miss Krarishma was giving us plant pots to put seeds inside.  We planted marigolds that you can’t eat, however, we can eat the rest of the plants.  The other plants are runner beans, radishes and peas.  We were sent out in groups of 7.  Next we put the seeds in the plant pot because we wanted to see when they would finally grow.  Then we started to water the plants and we had to be careful because if we put too much water in the plant pots the plants would drown.  Finally, we put the plant pots in the shade and we had to be careful because if they had too much shade they will not grow and will die.

The Magically Marvellous Music Week

Starting on the 27^th of March and ending on the 2^nd of April we had a magical music week. We had the junkman, named Sal, play music using rubbish and  we even had a role in the music concert. So, the week started out when kids could bring their instruments to do a hint of busking in the playground. The children sounded fun-tabulous like profession musicians! Then we got to have Samba drum lessons: they were great. Then, we had the best music concert which was brilliant!

I am the Junkman, what can I play? What can you play? The Junk!

Our future Beethovens!

The Big Plant Out!

Welcome to the summer term (well a late welcome…)! As it has become warmer, the flowers and plants are almost fully grown. So Miss Clement has asked all the families that go to Avonmore to bring in a beautiful flower to plant (no cut flowers, plants or seeds!).  Anyone who goes to Avonmore can bring in a flower to make our wonderful school look even prettier and vibrant than it already is. So get hunting for the perfect plant for The Big Plant Out!

Let's get planting! 

SATs

The entire year for the year 6s has been leading up to these exams (which we’re half way through!) and for me I think I’m doing pretty good so far but to anyone who’s having trouble, may I suggest to just keep persevering and try your best.  I mean, at the end of the day, what else can you do.  The only other piece of advice I can give is try not to stress.  I didn’t think this advice would help but trust me it really does. I wish you all very good luck.
