• Bikeability

  Mon 11 Jul 2016 Miss Collins

  Year 6 had a 'wheely' good time at Bikeability this morning learning about: bike safety, the Highway Code and bike maintenance. Today they cycled around the playground, perfecting their signalling and emergency stops but tomorrow they will be venturing onto the roads!

• Year 3/4 Stone Age Day

  Thu 07 Jul 2016 Miss Wright
  On Monday Year 3/4 had a fantastic Stone Age Day! It was an opportunity for the children to dress up and share some of the experiences of these pre-historic hunter gatherers. The activities included: stew cooking on an open fire in the woods, cave painting, mock teeth and bone jewellery making and creating their own Stonehenge using biscuits. Have a look at some of our photos from the day.

  

• Smoothies

  Wed 06 Jul 2016 Miss Collins

  Today, Year 5 and 6 have been having lots of fun making fruit smoothies. They had to think carefully about the quantities of fruit needed and which fruits would taste good together. As well as this, they had to be extra careful using knives to chop the fruit (luckily there were no injuries!)

• Induction Day Success

  Tue 05 Jul 2016 Miss Rogers

  Today our children in Years R to 5 met their new class teacher and LSAs and they spent time in their new classrooms. I am pleased to report that all of our teachers have reported that our children made a very good first impression and they tried their hardest throughout the day.

  This morning, I led an assembly with Miss Lyddon where we shared our plans for next year as well as outlined the events we have planned that they have lots to look forward to.

• Art day at Eggars!

  Tue 05 Jul 2016 Lois Finnimore

  Eggars Secondary School is having a community Art Week called ‘Alton L!ve’. This has obtained some funding from The Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) Trust Fund to enable Junior & Secondary school children with special needs to be part of this fantastic event. In total, seven children from Great Binfields enjoyed taking part in a range of activities yesterday at Eggars School.

   

  The activities included: a drumming workshop, painting a mug and creating a willow sculpture! They also got to meet the Mouth and Foot Artist - Tom Yendall and work with him throughout the day.

   

  The children had a great day - check out some of the pictures below!

   

  

• Year 6 Graduation

  Fri 01 Jul 2016 Miss Collins
  Yesterday, Year 6 took a trip to Winchester University for their graduation. All of the children looked really smart dressed up in their caps and gowns! As well as this, they also got taken on a tour around the university and took part in a university quiz.  It was a lovely celebration of a successful year for all!

  

• Outdoor Week and the Climbing Wall for Year 2

  Thu 30 Jun 2016 Mrs Barnhouse

  Year 2 have had a busy week during their Outdoor Week and all children have now completed their climbing wall days. What a great time they had! It was lovely to see children challenge themselves and want to face their fears and give something a real go. Although not everyone managed to get to the top everyone succeeded in the challenge we gave them. Other children surprised us and whizzed up the walls over and over again, loving the fear factor! We certainly appreciated the Scouts giving up their time to help Year 2 (and the adults!) challenge themselves. 

  Other activities this week have included creating journey sticks so they can retell where they have been, creating fairy houses in the woods and completing multiplication challenges in the woods using the resources around us to make arrays. It has certainly been a busy, fun-filled week, giving children the opportunity to work together and problem solve in different settings. 

   

  Have a look at the pictures below to see what else we've been up to!

  

• INSET DAYS Ahead

  Wed 29 Jun 2016 Miss Rogers

  Please remember that we have our Inset Days Next week. They are on Thursday 7th and Friday 8th July.

  During these two days we will be working on creating our new action plans for the year which are closely linked to our whole school improvement areas. In addition to this, we have an input from two of our teachers on Writing and DT. There's lots to pack in so we will be busy, busy, busy!

   

• Climbing Challenges for our Year 2s

  Wed 29 Jun 2016 Miss Rogers

  This week is our Year 2s Outdoor Week and they were given the superb opportunity of using Chineham Scouts Climbing Wall at their Scout Hut. Each class has marched to and from the hut (in some cases in the rain), played various team games and then had a go on the wall. It has been amazing seeing some of our children scamper up with no fear at all. A few children needed a little encouragement but everyone really did give it their best  and have impressed their teachers with their courage and determination.

  Thank you to the Scout volunteers who have given up their free time once again to assist the children in our school. You are great friends of our school and you really do help us provide some super activities for our children. They are very lucky indeed!
