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.

Shady Solar Eclipse

On Friday 20^h March we had a school breakfast to celebrate the solar eclipse.  Unfortunately, the clouds ruined the view but the assembly, where students shared work on the eclipse they had created such as poetry, posters, etc., and breakfast made up for it. At the breakfast we had pastries, porridge, coco pops, hot chocolate, orange juice, etc. We had to get there at 8:15am which meant that we had to wake up super early but it was worth it because we got an amazing breakfast and some epic solar eclipse glasses that will serve as souvenirs. Even though we couldn’t see the solar eclipse, we definitely felt it as it got colder and a bit darker. Everyone had tons of fun! 

Have you ever seen so many bananas? 

Well, at least we had fun with the glasses!

The Supreme Climbing Experience

On Tuesday 24^th March, all the classes from nursery to year 6 had the chance to climb a magnificently tall climbing wall (rock climbing wall). Many people managed to skilfully clamber to the top then abseil down slowly. For the people who reached the top it was a beautiful view, but even for those who didn’t, they still had a great experience. As soon as someone got past the bottom section everyone started encouragingly chanting like it was the end of the world. Finally, the end of the day came and everyone had an experience they would never forget. 

Whoa! That is really tall! 

Step by step to reach the top! 

Booktastic Doors

On Friday 6^th March we celebrated world book day. Unfortunately, we couldn't celebrate world book day on the 5^th due to the Astrodome visit but, we still had a great time. Fortunately, we had a door competition. The way to win it was to make the best book themed door. All of the classes took part, even Nursery and Reception. I thought year 5’s door was the best but they were all amazing.  What a great way to celebrate the wonderfulness of books!

A door fit for a gangster!

The doorway to Narnia!

Does this belong in a History museum?

Not that faraway, just down the hall.
