The new year 5 had a wonderful day today exploring boats and learning all about how boats float and sink, and the scientific reasoning behind it. The children also produced a crashing wave scene collage with their choice of boat included. The day was ended with organising a timeline of what ships docked in Southampton from 70 - 2013. Have a look at our pictures below!
It was lovely to welcome the new Year 6 today and what a great start to the year they all made. Administration tasks were carried out quickly and efficiently, and routines established.
Article 29 of the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child states, "Education must develop every child's personality, talents and abilities to the full...." This is one of the articles that Year 6 explored in a creative way in the afternoon. Each child created a potato person that expressed a uniqueness of personality and talents. Take a look at some of our potato characters:-
Oakie Bear went to Guernsey for his summer holiday.
He travelled on the ferry and while he was there he visited lots of interesting places and had a great time camping.
When he had written his postcard and posted it in the postbox, he noticed something was different. Can you see what it was?
The summer break is always a good time to catch up with a few jobs...
Our outgoing Year 6 ICT gurus, Jack and Ryan, scanned a lot of old photos which we found in a dusty cupboard. This is the first time we've had to make them public!
See if you recognise anyone!

Thanks to Showcase Performance Group, we now have a video from the Music on the Map concert!
Our 60 Year 3 children, playing trombone, trumpet, glockenspiel and clarinet are in there somewhere...
A brilliant celebration of a great year!
As soon as the last child left on the last day, contractors moved in to do some of the work which we're having done over the summer break...
Year 6 said their goodbyes at 3.15 this afternoon, but they couldn't wait to be back for their Leavers' Prom!
Here are a few photo albums to show how the evening progressed!
We will miss them!

As a grand finale to the year, Year 2 put on a fashion show for the rest of Key Stage 1 after designing and creating their own works of art. This work linked to our topic of recycling, reusing and repairing, I'm sure the rest of the school will agree the children have a flare for fashion design and catwalk modelling!
Then we had our final year party involving making hats, party bags, playing games and of course lots of dancing and winning prizes!
Year 2 has been a fun packed year and the children are now looking forward to the challenges of Year 3!
Year 6 said the next stage of their goodbyes this morning as they took part in their leavers' service.
As always, Year 3 children had made individual, unique candle holders for Year 6 children - they used these in the service and they will take them home as keepsakes.
Robert and Trudi from Lordshill Church joined us to lead our memories, share our hopes and to bless the candles.
You asked for it... so here it is!
Year 6's Selfie video from their leavers' performance!
Thanks to the gentlemen form TMC for putting this together for us!
