Class 3
Big Writing

Class 3 really enjoyed their Big Write task, sharing their detailed knowledge of Viking Longships and were encouraged to focus on using newly discovered vocabulary. The children were also asked to include the correct punctuation in their work. Atmospheric music by Brian Eno played quietly in the background, as the children completed their writing. Mrs Sutton is really pleased with the quality of work created by class 3!

 
Baking in Year 3

Class 3 were visited by a representative from Warburton’s Bakery on Tuesday. The children were given the opportunity to make fantastic hedgehog bread rolls. Warburton’s provided aprons and hair nets, as well as a fantastic bag of goodies for each child to take home!

 

 
Christmas Soirée

 

Our choir, ballroom dancers and drama group entertained us in tremendous fashion at the annual Christmas Soiree. The drama group starred several Year 5 pupils in lead roles as they treated us to a version of Scrooge. Several fabulous debuts were made! The Ballroom team performed wonderfully well with children from Years 1-6 involved. Our choir shared some Young Voices material as well as leading carols around the tree! A wonderful, evening, well done to everyone involved, especially Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Porter for their hard work and organisation.

 

 
Ballroom Exhibition

 

Our Ballroom Dancers graced the Metrodome again at the Team Barnsley Christmas Event. In a crowd of approximately 300, Birkwood sold over 200 tickets! Our fabulous parents showed terrific support to children from years 1-6! Miss Betts even carried off the raffle prize – which she promptly donated to the Soiree Evening (thank you Miss Betts for that kind gesture). Well done to Mrs. Porter for her tireless work in dance and to the many children involved – some as young as 5! Also,www.birkwood.org.uk would like to thank Mr Thompson for the Ballroom and Soirée photographs which he has kindly allowed us to use for these website entries!
 
Merry Christmas in Year 3

 

Class 3 had a fun-packed party day this week. We began with mid-morning cinema; the children enjoyed an exciting movie. During the afternoon the children joined class 4 in the hall for party games, dancing and a talent show. Last but not least came the party food: cakes, crisps and juice, followed by a mobile phone call from Father Christmas himself!
