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!

Year 2 gave a wonderful Class Assembly on the theme of Knights and Castles. The Assembly, written by the children was extremely popular – so much so it was standing room only! Many thanks to all of the parents, friends and Governors who attended this most informative event. The Princesses were beautiful, the Knights dashing and chivalrous as the assembly finished with a wonderful song. Well done Year 2, a superb entertaining event! Class 2 are really happy their assessments are finished for the time being and are continuing to enjoy their topic work. Mrs Exley is really pleased that children are making things at home and bringing them in for display, thank you.
The children in Class 2 joined in the fun on Friday to raise money for Children in Need. Lots of the children dressed up and every one of them contributed by coming in non-uniform and paying 50p for the privilege. They enjoyed the fair in the afternoon, especially the cake stall but they all enjoyed the dancing crocodile the most!
The children in Class Two are continuing to bring in some wonderful creations from home connected to their topic. We have some very creative children, parents and grandparents out there! Class 2 had a wonderful time at Conisbrough Castle last Friday and the day was a great success. The children were very enthusiastic when it came to asking and answering questions. Paul, who showed us round, was very impressed with the children’s knowledge. The children loved the tour round the keep and not one of them complained about the steep climb up the stone steps! They listened attentively and as per usual they were on their best behaviour and did our school proud. I hope you enjoy looking at our photographs. Class 2 have now completed a half term in their new classroom and are showing great enthusiasm for their topic this term, ‘Knights and Castles’. Books and pictures have arrived and a very magnificent shield! The children enjoyed making their Halloween masks and also enjoyed listening to Christine Fitt, who told them two wonderful stories which kept them thoroughly engrossed!
