Barnsley Music Education Hub website now has new features which we really hope will support schools. As well as a new Online Learning section that was developed last term, we have also been working hard to reduce the amount of printed paper resources that we use, therefore we have included the following documents online:
· Pupil Practice Diary
· Pupil Handbook (Lots of information about how lessons work)
· New Starter Form (Pink Form)
Here is The link to these documents:
The children have loved learning about the life cycle of a chick ever since our chick eggs arrived on Monday. They were so enthusiastic that they wanted to be just like them! In PE we created our own dance, representing the life cycle. How special!
Thank you to The Conservation Volunteers for working with our Year 6 children today. The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this outdoor activity, working in teams to build dens and decorate them with the items they found on their scavenger hunts.
The Robins have been learning the fundamentals of passing on the move in rugby. They have been mastering the art of passing and receiving in lines.
Here are the Year 5/6 Tigers taking part in their skipping project and performing a combat dance in PE.
The Butterflies have really enjoyed going ‘Under the Sea’ during their PE lessons. They have been working hard to sequence together dance moves, based on different sea creatures.
The Leopards took part in a lesson focussing on running techniques. The children began by joining in with a series of mobility exercises and followed this with a focus on stride length. Mr S was very impressed by the end of the lesson!
The Leopard are learning all about tag rugby. The children started this term by trying to evade each other. They had a lot of fun playing ‘sharks and seaweed’!
In week 2 of tag rugby, the children focused on their ball handling skills. The children made great progress with their catching and passing (remembering to pass backwards!) throughout the lesson.
During week 3 of tag rugby, the children focused on attacking in tag rugby. The children worked on their catching and passing before taking part in 2 vs 1 drills. There were some fantastic displays of attacking rugby!
In the Hedgehogs, we are all (game) set (and match) to build on our tennis skills!
The Daffodils were superstars in P.E this week. They travelled carefully, using their arms to help them balance, and they jumped safely. Mrs Baker and Miss Ward were SO proud of how brave they all were!
We’re working collaboratively, boosting our ‘feel good factor’, and keeping our minds and bodies healthy!
Look at these super Sunflowers travelling on the large apparatus during PE. They are amazing at balancing, jumping and moving safely. Well done Sunflowers!
The Foxes spent time reintegrating with each other throughout some very special team building activities. We showed caring, collaboration, creativity and communication in our problem solving as well as having lots of fun!
The Foxes recalled some of their lockdown experiences and created a dance sequence based on four memories.
The Daisies have loved pretending to be fireworks. They made their very own sounds and movements. We even put some dance moves together. Look at their big smiley faces – they had so much fun!
This term, the Foxes have been creating different dance sequences based on Our Mining Community. We used Laban’s method of choreography to focus on dance actions, space, levels, dynamics and relationships.
The Year 5/6 Tigers have been working hard in their dance lessons with Mr. Wattam. They have done a great job at choreographing a Benin style dance using African inspirations to the song ‘Waka Waka’.
Our Hedgehogs are working hard to perfect tricky balancing and travelling routines. What skilful working!
This term, we’ve learned how to look after our minds using yoga techniques.
The Robins have worked so hard to produce their WW1 dance with Mrs Porter. Here is our final performance. We hope that you like it.
The Robins have been working on their communication and teamwork ~ we are all about working together.
The Sunflowers and Daffodils love our outdoor learning area and are outside whatever the weather. They enjoy playing together, solving problems, working on a larger scale and using their imagination. Look at all of these wonderful learning opportunities.
We love P.E in the Sunflowers and Daffodils so much so that we made our own exercise team! We had to sign up for our exercise class and enjoyed taking part in balancing, weight lifting, circuit training and racing activities. We even won rosettes when we raced outdoors.
