Year 3 Tri Kidz
Year 3 had a great time taking part in the Tri Kidz session! The class learnt about the different stages that make up a triathlon and were given the chance to cycle, run and swim. We then had a race at the end of the session, where we took part in a whole class triathlon! The children showed so much respect to the instructors and will hopefully be inspired to one day take part in a triathlon race!

Year 5 - Dynamos Cricket
Huge congratulations to our Year 5 Dynamos cricket team. The team played extremely well all day winning 2 out of their 3 games comfortably. Unfortunately, they missed out on the semi finals by less than 10 runs but showed tremendous talent throughout the whole day and demonstrated a resilience to win. The team represented St Barnabas amazingly well and were excellent role models for the school. Onwards and upwards for the next cricket tournament

Rev Ben Worship: Kings Coronation
Today, we thought about the kings coronation. We began our worship by playing a game. The teams from years 5 and 6 had to get their captains ready for the kings coronation. The children voted for their favourite and it was an even split. Well done to all of the children for being great sports! Rev Ben asked the children to think about what makes a good king. The children said the king has to be kind, generous, honest, dedicated, responsible and respectful. In the bible, Jesus explained how a king is a servant. King Charles needs to serve by showing justice and mercy just like Jesus did. Thank you to Rev Ben for leading our worship today. We are looking forward to our coronation celebrations in school this week.
