Blue Peter Competition

Looking for something to do?

Blue Peter and Buckingham Palace are giving you the chance to design an emblem that will be used in the celebrations of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, marking her 60 years on the throne.
The winning emblem will be seen by millions of people around the UK and the World, and will appear on everything from posters to commemorative teacups!
To enter, here's what you need to do:

• Design your emblem on an A4 sheet of paper
• Don't include an image of The Queen
• Do include a crown somewhere on the design

An emblem is a simple picture that represents something significant. For this competition, your emblem should represent The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Look at these simple guidelines, then see the Inspiration page for a few ideas:

• Your emblem design should be creative. Make it stand out from the crowd! How will it be different from everyone else's design?
• Your emblem design should be simple so don't add too much detail! It can be colourful, but needs to look good if converted to black and white.
• Your emblem design should be relevant and easy to recognise. In other words, it should make people think of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
•  Check out Dos and Don'ts, find inspiration for your emblem design, and read the FAQs. For a full list of the rules, and the address for your entries, see the Terms and Conditions.

Year 4 trip to the New Forest!

On Wednesday 6th October, Year 4 went on an
interesting trip to the New Forest.
Our first stop was the brilliant deer sanctuary at
Bolderwood where we saw a herd of deer. Then
we went to the Canadian Memorial where there
were a lot of flags and poppies.
Next we went to the airfield at Stony Cross and
saw a map showing how the airfield looked
during WW2.
Our next stop was the Rufus Stone where William
Rufus was killed by an arrow.
After lunch in Lyndhurst we went to the Verderers
Court and also saw the grave of Alice in
Wonderland.
Finally we went to the museum where we found
the answers to some of our questions about the
history of the New Forest.

Safety Day!

At 9 am we started an exciting, marvellous day -
‘I forgot it was safety day’ said Amy.
Year 5 started the day by doing some safety day puzzles.
Mrs Ball split us into groups by pulling names out of a pot
and said that we needed to do our planning. We made
clever moving rooms, which highlighted different types of
hazards.
We looked at hazard filled rooms so that we could learn
about dangers in the home.
At the end of the day we looked around at all the different
rooms and clever models which had been made.
It was quite difficult, although it was fun!
