Eid Party!

On Friday 25^th of September we had an amazing and exciting Eid party! Every child wore nice clothes representing their country. Parents came and everyone enjoyed the food together. Lots of mums and dads brought delicious foods, such as baklava, rice, cakes, tarts, chicken, bread, chocolate and pizza, to share! Each of the classes visited the party. Year 6 went with Reception, Year 1 went with Year 5, Year 2 went with Year 4 and Year 3 were fine on their own! After 3:30, everybody was able to visit for a short time! The party finished at 4:00 and everyone helped tidy up. What a fun occasion!

Tasty snacks!

A Caketastic Morning

As the recent blog post mentioned, we have had a coffee morning! This event was to fundraise money for Cancer research! So, thanks to everyone who showed up and donated; we have been able to give £480 to Macmillans. I hope everyone there had a great time and thank you for your help… every little counts. I would also like to say that the cakes tasted amazing!

Coffee Morning

Hello Everyone! The bloggers would like to take some time of your day to tell you about our coffee morning. The Friends of Avonmore have organised a coffee morning to fundraise money for Macmillan’s Cancer Research. There will be lots of cakes to enjoy and stuff your mouths with (And no… you do not have to pay but it would be amazing if you could donate to this fabulous cause!). 

This will happen at 8:30 am on Friday 25^th September at Avonmore Primary School. It would be great if you could attend! Donations are welcomed as it will go to supporting those “affected by cancer, from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.” So all of us, as a community, can help beat cancer. The Friends of Avonmore and the bloggers hope to see you! 

Nothing like coffee and cake in the morning! 

What has 470 legs, 235 noses and can cause enough noise to scare a hungry pack of lions?

The students of Avonmore, of course!

Time for a fresh new uniform, new exercise books and a welcome for some new students, staff and newly painted classrooms!  We hope to make the 2015-16 academic years another fun learning year and hope the new nursery students fit in. This year we aspire to have another wave of hard working pupils to work as hard as or even better than last year’s!  Good luck to everyone at Avonmore!

Leaving Avonmore

Here we are the last week of school and it has been a wonderful eight years at Avonmore. I’ve had a great time as well as a great education.  Over the years I’ve had a number of great teachers that have boosted my learning and experiences.  I especially enjoyed year four because I got to work with Miss Cotten to improve my English through fun games and activities. A year later I was chosen to take part in blog with my computing teacher.  It was a really fun experience and now this is the last post I will be uploading which is sad because I really enjoyed the time I had.  However, I now have a new school to be looking forward to.  Farewell, Avonmore, it’s been a blast!!!

This is not goodbye: it's see you later.

Sports Day 2015

Sports Day was very enjoyable! First we walked to the huge playing field in Holland Park and sat in our team lines that were named after countries. Then we went to our first activities. My team's first activities were the sack race and bean bag balance. There were also lots of other fun activities such as egg and spoon, space hoppers and dribbling. My favourite activity was the running races. I came 4^th in the races which is pretty good. Then we had lunch. We had a nice long rest and saw a nice dog and we patted it. Then we got into our classes and went back to school. At school there was a big award ceremony and our team won an award for the sack race. It was a good sporty day!

Year 3’s Muddy Day Out

We walked to the train station and it took about ten minutes to get there. Then we had to walk a little bit longer until we came to a small house by the River Thames. We learnt about the wildlife on the River Thames and found out lots. Then we had lunch and walked to the Thames. We were looking for ancient pottery and found several pieces! My favourite part of the day was when we got really, really muddy as we searched for ancient artefacts. It was such a great day out! 

Learning about the River Thames

It would be tricky to climb this tree!

Mud, mud and more mud!

You have to have a sharp eye to find ancient pottery in this mess!
