*Rocksteady Rock Concert: Our school rock bands showcased their incredible musical talents, providing an exhilarating experience for everyone involved.

*Big Lent Walk: Several classes participated in a class Big Lent Walk. Donations to Cafod can be made online: https://schools.walk.cafod.org.uk/fundraising/st-barnabas-ce-primary-academys-big-lent-walk and this weekend looks perfect weather to get a walk in.

*Easter Break Reminder: Please remember that we break up early next Thursday at 2.00pm for the Easter holidays. The children are all excited for our annual visit from the Spring Chicken just before we break up.

Thank you for your continued support and for being an integral part of our school family. We wish you a wonderful weekend and look forward to seeing many of you at our Easter service next week.
Best wishes, Mrs Ham
