Great Grandparents....

Year 5 planned and performed a fabulous collection of songs, plays and poems all about World War 2 to their grandparents and great grandparents. It was a tremendous event where the grandparents and children learnt from each other.

Wild Workshops....

We attended exciting art workshops as part of our theme week on the environment. This is part of our Rights, Respects, Responsibilities (RRR)work this year. We are pleased with our vivid and striking creations.

No napping at Knapp...

There were too many activities to have any time for napping on Year 6's residential trip to Knapp House this year. After a relatively peaceful coach journey, the children quickly settled into their dorms and sorted themselves out in preparation for a busy week ahead. Activities included: Ringo Rides, Speedboat Ride, Abseiling, Climbing, Coastal Walk, Crabbing, Go-Cart Riding, Pot Holing, Rafting, Sliding, Low Ropes Activity, Surfing and Disco. The children represented the school in an amazing manner and did themselves proud. Most importantly, they enjoyed themselves and made new friends from other Southampton Schools. Well done year 6.

Chemical Chaos....

At Fryern we believe the best way to learn science is to "do science"! This year we have been doing just that. Practical investigations are a big part of our science lessons where the children can plan and explore their ideas. Our whole school science day (June 08) involved "Chemical Chaos" in year 6, "The Waving Hand" in year 5 and "Parachuting Eggs" in years 3 and 4. The noise, mess and smell was awful but needless to say the children loved it.
