Message from Mrs Ham- Week 2
We have had another super week in school! The children have all settled brilliantly into their new classes and we have seen great behaviour in school with lots of kindness being shown to each other. A huge well done to Year 1 and Year 4 for winning the amazing attendance award this week! They gained an extra fun session on the MUGA. It is really important that children come to school everyday unless they are really unwell. I have added some information to our attendance page that details minor illnesses and when to send your child to school or not. https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance We are really having a push on attendance this year due to the interruptions to schooling we have faced over the past few years. Every day does count. A quick reminder that holidays will not be approved in term time and you are likely to face a penalty fine if you take your child out of school during term time. Several years ago we put in an extra week in the May/June holidays to make holidays more affordable for families. I wish you all a lovely extended weekend and our thoughts and prayers are with the royal family this weekend as they laid to rest our long serving and dedicated Queen. Mrs Gardner is taking a special wreath made by our Reception children and several of the prayers that children in other classes have written to London to send our love and respects to the Queen from our whole St Barnabas school family. God bless the Queen.
Week 2 -Celebration worship
We had a wonderful celebration worship this morning, recognising those children who achieved the most individual value points along with the team winners, Whitehall Park! It was lovely to see mums, dads, grandparents and carers, joining us. If you are able, please do come along it would be lovely to see you. A brew and a biscuit will also be available.
