Bugsy Malone

This week Year 5 and 6 took part in the much anticipated, much rehearsed show of Bugsy Malone. Amidst searing heat and end of term illnesses, the children performed their hearts out. Staff are incredibly proud of how they have thrown themselves into the play and smiled through all the trials and tribulations. Thank you to all the parents and carers who supported through attending the play, providing costumes and practising at home and also to all the staff who gave so much time to help keep the show running.

Art in yr 3/4 and a Sea City Visit

In Sycamore class we have been studying a local artist called Mark Greco. He produces amazing stylised pictures of creatures local to the South Downs. They aren’t finished yet, but we hope you like our interpretations.

KS1

Rowan and Maple class had a great day at the Sea City Museum in Southampton today. The children explored a range of resources that would have been on board the Titanic including ceramic hot water bottles, hair curlers, oil bags that were on the lifeboats and many other items. They also discussed who they would save if they were in charge of the lifeboats, matched rooms to where they were on board the ship, used their sense of smell to work out some smells that may have been present in different areas of the ship (including fire and smelly feet for the gymnasium!) We had a guided tour of some of the museum and then spent some of the afternoon doing our own quizzes. The children were excellent and learnt a lot, a great day!

Integr8 Dance extravaganza

Children from Stanmore Primary School took part in a dance performance at the Theatre Royal in Winchester on Friday 24th June. Staff managed to sneak in for the dress rehearsals and everyone looked amazing. Good luck for tonight everyone.

Stanmore Reading Festival

An amazing time was had by the whole school this week during our annual Reading Festival. Activities were based on the story of Arthur and the Sword in The Stone and included role on the wall helicopter stories and making spells and potions. We even had our own sword and Mrs Taylor wowed the children by pulling it clean from the stone! The day was rounded off with a live demonstration of jousting in full armour by some professional knights.

Thanks to Mr Thomas for his brilliant story telling and Mrs Jones for her excellent organisation. As you can see from the pictures the children thoroughly enjoyed the activities and we can’t wait until next year!

Stanmore children and their trips!

AI trip

On Tuesday 30 children from Year 5 and 6 took part in an Artificial Intelligence day at Winchester College. The children explored the uses of AI in the modern world and learnt all about how AI is programmed, how it learns and all of the moral and ethical implication associated with it. The day finished with a competition to design a new AI that would solve a problem that would benefit mankind and all the ideas were incredible. Well done everyone for a great day; we can’t wait to see if any of your ideas come to fruition.

We went to Cameron's Lodge In the New forest and had an amazing time. We completed a blindfolded trail through the New Forest, built shelters and got very wet by the teachers!!!!

In the afternoon, Children had to search for species including plants and trees. We found over 58 species in the surrounding area including a very cute toad!

Building work

As you may have noticed the building work is well and truly underway at Stanmore Primary School. The windows are looking great and ground work has begun on the new extension. We thought it may be helpful to show you the drawings of the finished building to give you a clear idea of what our fabulous school is going to look like. It should be a fantastic addition to our school.
