KS2 Sports Day
A huge well done to all of our KS2 classes for their determination and encouragement at our annual Sports Day. It was a brilliant morning and everyone tried their best. Thank you so much to all of the parents and carers who came along to support. A massive thank you to our Sports Leaders for setting up and running the races and to all of our staff team for their support. We all thoroughly enjoyed the Mums and Grandmas, Dads and Grandads and Toddler Races too. Well done to everyone who took part, you were great sports!
KS2 Multi skills club.
Another great afternoon at Multi skills. We all had a go at delivering a basketball drill working on dribbling, passing and shooting before getting stuck into a very close game!
EYFS and KS1 Sports Day 2023
This morning, EYFS and KS1 classes competed in our annual sports day competition. The races included egg and spoon, sprint, sack race and an obstacle race. The children were fantastic at showing resilience and they were great supporters for their friends, cheering each other on and clapping! Each race winner received a medal and all children cooled off with an ice pop at the end as a treat. Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended and supported, it was a brilliant morning!
Year 5- Lunch time on the MUGA.
In Year 5's MUGA session this week we had a go at cricket and it was so nice to see them all attempting another sport and encouraging others just like St Barnabas the encourager.

DPSSA Cricket
Today, our cricket team competed in the DPSSA Cricket competition. They represented the school superbly well and throughout the day they played 6 games, in which they won 4 and lost 2. This ensured a third place finish and the only two teams to beat St Barnabas went on to claim 1st and 2nd place. What a superb effort!
Science Club Aqua Sand Experiments
Today our Year 5/6 Science Club children carried out some different experiments using different coloured aqua sand. They were amazed at how this sand is actually waterproof and loved adding different ingredients to the sand to see what happened.

Whitehall Park Supporters Group Need You!
Whitehall Park Supports Group would like to let you know about this family-friendly event for all. Families can drop by to join them for a little while or longer to help them with this important task, which is great fun for all ages. They recommend long trousers and long sleeves just in case there is a nettle hiding among the balsam. The balsam itself is no bother. They provide gloves and refreshments (regular tea, mint tea, biscuits and water). What a great way to support our community!
Whole School Multiplex Movie Night-
We would like to take this opportunity to thank parents, carers and staff for your incredible support and enthusiasm during our recent movie night. We are thrilled to inform you that our dedicated Rotakids, along with our smart school councillors, have fulfilled their promise and successfully completed their final project. Through their combined efforts and hard work, organising a successful multiplex movie night, together we have managed to raise an impressive sum of £580.60 after the cost of food! This significant amount will contribute towards the school minibus, which will greatly benefit our students by facilitating transportation to sports events, competitions, and other important activities. This achievement is a testament to the incredible community we have at our school. Your dedication and willingness to contribute have made a significant impact on our fundraising efforts. Together, we have not only created a memorable and enjoyable event but also managed to raise much-needed funds.
Year 6 Mini Tennis Competition Winners!
A huge well done to our Year 6 children who came first in a mini tennis competition! They competed against 9 schools and played really well throughout. Well done Team Barnies!
Year 5 French - Clothing and Colours
For the past couple of weeks the children have been learning how to pronounce different items of clothing and colour in French. They played a game where another child had to guess which item of clothing they were. They have all been working really hard and their French has come on leaps and bounds.
Well-being Club
For our well-being club this week we started off by making some lovely apple doughnuts. We all enjoyed mixing the ingredients and chopping up the apples and they definitely enjoyed eating them all up after! We then went on a little walk around the school grounds listening to what different sounds we could hear and if we could find a rainbow of colours in the nature around us.
