Year 6 had an amazing day in London. They went to The Houses of Parliament, visited the King’s robing room, toured the House of Lords, met our local MP, Nigel Evans, took part in a law and debating workshop, feasted on burgers, travelled on the underground and lots more. It was a fantastic opportunity for our children to learn about democracy and rules of law.

On Monday, we started off our week with some mindful breathing in assembly and 'Mountain Pose' yoga in the hall. We introduced our 'Thank Tank' which encourages children to express what they are grateful for. On Wednesday morning we had a selection of wellbeing stations (yoga, playdough, chatterboxes, fitness, colouring) for the children to choose from and the whole school enjoyed taking part in the various activities. It was lovely to see the different year groups spending time together, and the older children looking after the little ones! Well done Barrow!

This morning Larch class went to visit Ruth at Ribble Valley Foodbank. We were able to give her 216 items that will be used to support families in our local community. The foodbank were so grateful for all of our donations and told us it was 'kindness in action'. Thank you to everyone for all your support.

We're excited to announce the newest member of our school family – Tiny, a two-month-old Horsefield tortoise! Chosen by the children through a vote, Tiny has already become a beloved addition, bringing joy and valuable lessons about responsibility to our school community.

Year 6 had an amazing morning History workshop with 'Delve into History' learning all about the Vikings! They got to handle a range of replica Viking artefacts, try on some Viking costumes and even got to have a go at axe and stone flinging to see how well they completed Viking games. Our game winners then got to drink from the Viking horn as a reward! 

On Friday, every child in the school took part in the Spring Poetry Festival.  Each class performed their poem and they were all amazing!   Poems included: Snowflake on My Nose, The Gruffalo, When Daddy Fell into the Pond, Boogy Woogy Buggy, Roger the Dog, Little Red Riding Hood and The Dinner Lady Dance.  We can't wait for the Summer Poetry Festival.
