Boys v Cunningham Hill
The boys produced their best half of football against Cunningham Hill this afternoon but unfortunately ran out of steam in the 2nd half to eventually go down 6-1, which didn’t reflect the game and performance. Tommy scored the goal.
Squad – Taye, George B, Freddie, Alfie, Tommy, Ollie, James, Isa & Jack.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Girls v Cunningham Hill
The Year 5 and 6’s stepped out on the court to play their first game of the season. Although they were nervous they played like seasoned pro’s. Defence won many interceptions and closed down Cunningham Hill’s attack and denied them any opportunity to score. When the ball came out of defence into attack the girls worked hard to maintain possession of the ball which gave Sienna the opportunity to score one goal in the first and second half of the game giving the girls a 2-0 win.
Well played everyone, you all played incredibly well. Both Miss DiTella and Miss Brennan are excited for the season ahead.
Squad – Bianca, Darcie, Abbi, Emily, Kyeesha, Lilly, Sienna, Lucy and Lacey.
Girls v Aboyne Lodge
On Wednesday the Girls B hosted Aboyne Lodge and were unlucky to only draw 1-1 as they played to a high level once again. Jacey scored the goal in the 2nd half. Miss Brennan was very pleased with the performance and said that all the players worked hard and Darcie deserves a special mention.
Squad – Daisy, Anisa, Abbi, Jacey, Darcie, Bianca, Ava and Lucy

 
 
Boys v Killigrew
On Thursday the Boys went to Killigrew hoping for an even better overall performance and that’s what happened. With a slight change in formation and also a change in listening, Bowmansgreen took the lead after 5 minutes as James got on the end of Tommy’s pass and neatly finished. Killigrew were restricted to long shots as Bowmansgreen defended with numbers and only giving Killigrew 1 real chance, which they took against the run of play. The whole squad performed magnificently and held shape and discipline as they were playing against a side who recently got to the County final and contained 3 District players.
Final score Killigrew 1-1 Bowmansgreen
Squad – Taye, Freddie, Alfie, Isa, Jack, Tommy, Ollie and James.

 
 
 

On Sunday 5th November Lily and Megan passed their black belt in Tae Kwon Do. The exam was four hours long and they were examined on everything that they have learnt over the last four years. Prior to the exam they had to sit a theory test in which they had to know all the key Tae Kwon Do terms and translate them from English into Korean and vice versa.
A huge achievement for both girls. Well done!

This week has been poppy week as every morning we have been making our giant poppy. All the children have been contributing to enable us to finish it ready for today. It looks lovely and everyone should be very proud of how wonderful it looks.
We hope you enjoyed the toffee apple green muffins for breakfast this morning; they were donated by Tesco as well as the berry smoothies.
Breakfast Club is £3 for the First Child/Adult then £2 for any other sibling. We open every day from 7.30am. The Friday movie next week will be “Despicable Me 3”. See you there!

This week
We have completed the second week of our new theme ‘Colour and Light’. We focused on ‘Day and Night’. We read the story ‘The Owl Babies’ by Martin Waddell and talked about nocturnal animals. We made owls using pine cones, feathers and fluff and then wrote descriptive sentences about them using ‘wow words’. In maths we learnt about time…daytime, night-time, days of the week and months. We talked about the sequence of our morning routine using the song ‘Here we go round the Mulberry bush’ and then made our own little books about this.
Next week
We will be focusing on ‘multicolour’ using the story of ‘Elmer’ by David Mckee. We will be talking about all the jungle animals and making simple zigzag books about them. In maths we will be focusing on pattern and how the squares of Elmer’s patchwork ‘tessellate’. We will find out which shapes tessellate and which don’t. We will also start rehearsing for the Early Years Christmas play which is only 3 weeks away!!
Resources
For one of the activities we’ve planned next week the children will need a clean empty plastic milk bottle, large or small. If they could bring one in on Monday it would be very helpful.
Reminder
Please remember that Wednesday is our P.E. day and the children need their PE kits that day. We had a lot of children without kits this week.

If you are having a clear out of old toys and making way for new Christmas toys please remember Reception! We welcome donations of old toys in good clean condition. We are particularly interested in:

• Cars and emergency vehicles
• Dolls buggies and dolls clothes
• Construction equipment like Lego and Playmobil
• Small Duplo/Lego people

All children are invited to the cinema night – next Friday from 5.30 pm. Entry is £3.00 and includes popcorn and squash. Please drop off children at the Year 1 classrooms and collect at 7.30 pm from the Main Entrance. We have a choice of 3 films for children to choose from, which are either U or PG rated. We hope to see you there!

This week was our very first Forest School session at Bowmansgreen. All the children will be able to take part over the year.
The weather was fine and dry and the autumn leaves were very crunchy! Class 3S spent the day outside making ‘hibernation nests’, leaf colour lines, recognising leaves and trees and best of all burying each other in a bed of leaves. Even Mrs Stanley was covered in autumn leaves by the children!
We had homemade vegetable soup in the morning and carved Pumpkins in the afternoon. The smell of the pine needles made us think about winter time and Christmas. What a great start to the programme! Looking forward to working with all the children over the year.
