Happy New Year!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school everyone! We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas, had a good rest and are ready to start the New Year.

We just wanted to share in a little bit of Good News to start the year. At the very end of the Autumn term we found out that bassett Green is one of the top 20 'Most Improved Schools' in the country! This is according to the published league table results of children leaving school in Year 6 from 2008 - 2011.

This is a really remarkable achievement and one that we feel very proud of.

We are very much looking forward to 2012 and we are sure that Bassett Green will continue to go from strength to strength.

Ah, bless!

Here are some of the children from Year 2 sharing their performance of 'Whoops-a-daisy angel' with the residents of Sunrise Living in Bassett.

We took twenty children to Sunrise and sang songs from this year's Nativity performance.

The residents had a fantastic time and thought the children were really sweet.

We are going to keep up our relationship with Sunrise after our recent assembly from one of our governors about Age Concern!

The builders are back !

'Oh, no!' we hear you say, but this time they're going to be in and out in a week!

We are very lucky to be chosen as one of a handful of schools in Southampton to have Solar panels fitted to our roof!

The panels will generate electricity which will help to reduce our extremely large fuel bill! we'll update you later in the year with how much we've saved.

CHRISTMAS FAIR - Time to get in the christmas spirit.

It's the Christmas Fair on Thursday 1st December.
Come and join us for lots of fun and games to help raise money for the school. We have craft stalls, lots of refreshments, games to play and Santa is coming too! Get a ticket to see Santa from the school gates only £2 each. The fair will open at 3.30, and it's free entry!
We look forward to seeing you there.

Operation !

Today, the children in Years 3/4 invited their parents in to try out their own versions of the fabulous game Operation! The children looked at the original game and saw how it was made. they then designed and built their own version using their DT skills and their knowledge of electric circuits.

This is what one of the parents had to say about their child's work;                                                                                                                                                             "A very clever and thought-out process and excellent hard work. My son enjoyed his project and spoke in length with excitement. This project has given my son an insight into the human body"

Fireworks!

It is that time of the year again where we all look up at the night sky and watch pretty lights and hear loud noises shooting above our heads. However in order to enjoy this time of year safely you must make sure you follow the fire work code. Every year children and adults get injured by not using fireworks correctly, so read the information below and make sure you're not one of them!

Southampton Boat Show

Here are some of years 5 and 6 having a great day out at the Southampton Boat Show last week. They had a great day looking at all of the incredible boats on display. They had a guided tour around a fully operational lifeboat and have also had a look around HMS Bulwark!


The children are trying to decide which colour boat Ms Filer would like them to order ...

Getting ready for the new year!

Here are the amazing team from Skandia in Southampton who have given up their time to come in and decorate our main corridor ready for the new term to begin on TUESDAY 6th SEPTEMBER.


All of the internal alterations have taken place and the new wireless system has been installed so we are well and truly ready to hit the ground running when we get back.


Looking forward to seeing you all bright and early on Tuesday!
