Red Nose Day!

Thank you to everyone who donated buns and money in support of

Red Nose day today! Many thanks again to Nicky Newell who helped

boost our money raising and significantly improve my Red Nose day

outfit by selling the TK– Maxx t shirts in school! :)

PE Kit

Children need to bring

PE kit on their

allocated PE days , in-

cluding suitable out-

door footwear and a

top and jogging bot-

toms if the weather is

cold.

Most children do now

wear their house col-

our t shirts and look

fantastic!

Football shirts and

strappy tops are not

allowed as PE kit.

Earrings must also be

removed.

If you are unsure

what days your child

has PE please ask

their teacher.

Year 5 and 6 Dance Workshop!

On Thursday Year 5 and 6 got to work with a fantastic dance

teacher, Leigh, who had travelled all the way from London! As

well as busting some pretty cool moves they also learnt about

the history of hip hop! Miss Walsh and Mr Fletcher were very

impressed! Check out the video on the Year 6 blog. :)

one had a fantastic time!

National Teaching School Status

We are delighted that we have been success-

ful in our bid to become a Teaching School

working in alliance with Springwell Community

Special School. This is a first for Barnsley

and makes us one of only 500 schools in the

country. The role of a teaching school is to

develop new teacher and school leaders, offer

professional development as well as working

with schools facing difficulties. It will bring

some really exciting opportunities, as well as

more work! However it is again recognition of

the school’s work—exciting times!
