House Team Bake Sale at Manor Way
After school on Wednesday at Manor Way, a house team bake sale competition was held.
Well done and thank you to everyone who baked delicious goods or donated items for their house stall to sell, and also to those who supported their house by purchasing sweet treats. Also a big thank you to the house captains and parent helpers who came to get involved and helped organise the event.
The pounds will also be converted into house points - so keep an eye on the website for the next totals update!

Indigo and Emerald House Assemblies
This week Indigo and Emerald House Teams had their cross-site House Assemblies at the High Street Site. After a brisk walk over by the KS2 children from Manor Way, Indigo and Emerald House Assemblies were led by Mr Griffiths and Mrs Sammarco, who wore her super special, spangly emerald jacket!
Mr Griffiths told Indigo all about a young blind pianist who has overcome his sight problems to become a famous, inspiration musical genius! The children got to watch a video of his amazingly impressive skills and talked about they can use him as inspiration for their dreams and aspirations.
Mrs Sammarco shared different things and people who inspire her, and reminded the children how they can inpsire her with their running by taking part in the annual Fun Run on Sunday 29th March. She also announced an art competition (she is inspired by lots of artists) to design a masterpiece for the 4th Plinth in Trafalgar Square - ask your teacher for more details if you would like to enter!

Woolwich Winter Warmer
Last weekend over 120 pupils, family and friends came together to represent the Bannockburn community at the Woolwich Winter Warmer Lantern Parade.
After meeting at the Woolwich Centre to collect our lanterns, which were made prior to the event in a special workshop run by Emergency Exit Arts, the parade set off; we walked throught the streets of Woolwich through to the Royal Arsenal, enjoying the festive atmosphere, samba drum rhythms and beautiful lantern artworks that were carried through the town.
The event ended with a spectacular fireworks display
that lit up the Royal Arsenal.
Thanks to everyone who attended; the house points earnt will be added to the current totals very soon.

Woolwich Winter Warmer 2018 - record numbers of Bannockburn families!
On Saturday 1st December over 100 children and family members from the Bannockburn Community took to the streets of Woolwich to take part in the lantern parade, as apart of the Woolwich Winter Warmer 2018.
The lanterns were made by pupils in a workshop with arts and crafts group, Parrabolla, the previous week, using old plastic milk cartons and other recyclable materials to fit with the theme, which was Recycling.
When we all met at The Woolwich Centre, small lights were put inside our creations so they looked like lanterns and would light up the winter night's sky.
Due to the huge, excellent turnout form our school, we were even given the opportunity to carry one of the arts company's masterpieces, a huge Christmas tree pyramid covered in recycled plastic bags.
Thanks to all the children and adults who came and took part - and well done for gaining all those extra house points for your houses as a thank-you!

Sport at Bannockburn
Some of us have been enjoying training with a visiting sports teacher from St Paul's Academy and our sports coaches to develop skills in football. We are working towards an inter-house football competition so we have been really focused! We have been working hard to show our school values of teamwork and co-operation too.

Team Gardening
Staff from both High Street and Manor Way met to begin work on the House Team Gardens. We de-weeded the garden beds and ensured the soil was turned ready for planting in spring. Along the way we made friends with the local wildlife and worked together to get the job done!
Year 6 - Music
Developing our singing and rhythm skills through chanting:
During our Music lessons for the last half term, Year 6 have been experiencing a range of chants and exploring how chants are used all around the word for different purposes, such as to greet somebody, to motivate someone or to try to intimidate someone (for example, the Haka).
We identified the strong rhythm and repetitive nature of chants and used this as our starting point to create our own chants. We worked in our house teams to create chants to celebrate our achievements and to motivate our houses. We wrote our own lyrics and incorporated clapping, movements and stamping. Each group had one person to keep a steady beat. We are hoping to perform some of our chants to our house teams and we will definitely be using our skills to motivate our houses at team events!
