World Water Day 2016

Today Shirley Warren Primary School helped to celebrate the 23rd United Nations World Water Day.

We started off with a very interesting assembly from Ashleigh from Southern Water who challenged us to think about where we could save water.

We then heard from Stella Typhoon (Mrs Bullas) and Aqua Lakes (Mrs Williams) who were hosting Shirley Warren News, about water around the world.  But they kept getting crackly screens! There were no reports!  So every year group found out about an aspect of water during the day. Here are some games from Year 3.

From Environmental Health correspondents to Weather Reports via songs and lots of practical activities, Shirley Warren News was finally aired at the end of the day.

Then we saw some photos of our link school, Tukela, in Zambia.  They need to raise money for flushing toilets.  Maybe you can just about see "boys" on the left and "girls" on the right on the corrugated doors in the picture. Can you see any water nearby?

As we have just had Sports Relief we are going to fund raise next term but we need your ideas for interesting ways we can raise money.  Please tell your Green Council rep any ideas you have.

Year 6 and the Winchester Students create amazing documentaries!

Today was the final culmination of this year's project between Winchester students and Shirley Warren Primary school.  Over the last few weeks, pupils from year 6 have been involved in working together to create news reports about their chosen animals. fIrst they worked on Google Docs to create a collaborative fact file.  Then the group designed their reports, using blue screen, music and other media techniques.

This group produced a report about turtles, including some very amusing turtle impressions!

We would like to thank the students and wish them well in their future teaching.

Send My Friend to School Day

Today in assembly Shirley Warren presented their research about the "Send My Friend to school" campaign. Some parents and governors came to support our learning.

We got into groups and we researched about the countries we were given and about their education lifestyle and before that we wrote down what we thought we should keep in the Rights Respecting School charter.

Year 2's display board showing what we would do if we were World Leaders. Year 6 made 3d World Leaders.

One of our students quotes about if they were a World Leader

Our school received a certificate from Send My Friend to School Campaign 

Shirley Warren felt very strongly about this campaign that they will carry on helping in the future.

French Day in Year 1

Bonjour! We have had a fabulous time in Year 1 today. We have learnt colours, the days of the week and how to count...........all in French! We have also retold one of our favourite stories in French. It is called 'La Chenille Qui Fait Des Trous.' Can you guess what story it is?

French Day

Today is Bastille Day! To celebrate this, we are having our own 'French Day.' Here is Miss Lott at the launch assembly. The school have been set the task of making a TV show. Each class will make a component of the TV show, along with other activities related to French. Keep an eye on the blog for all the different things that classes got up to.
