Or should that be CLEVER Celts? One boy in Class 4 was so inspired when he made a model-sized Celtic roundhouse, that he had the idea of making one on a grand scale. His Dad provided all the materials and even came into the classroom to help the children construct it. The house is large enough to house 4 mini Celts and the children can’t wait to use it. Many thanks to the young man and his Dad!
Headteacher’s Superstar Award
Our latest Headteacher’s Superstar Award Winner has made a great start to her Celts Topic in Year 4. She works hard in everything she does and is improving rapidly in all areas in school. She is a delight to work with and impresses Mrs. Winwood every single day. Well done on your richly deserved accolade!
A GREAT START
The children in Year 4 have had an enthusiastic and hard working start to the New Year. As well as continuing with their Samba drumming skills, they are busy finding out about the Celts of Ancient Britain. Look at their careful models of the Roundhouses the Celts used to live in and did you know the Celts used to weave on looms to make material for clothes?
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!
