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:

What an amazing day we had on our first ever school trip! We were so excited! We discovered so many animals and we even found some cocoons just like in the story, ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. We got to meet a stick insect and a cockroach; we were so brave and we touched them. Thank you to our special grown ups for joining us on our first adventure. We had so much fun !
The Year 1/2 Ladybirds had a brilliant time on their school trip to Scarborough. We had the chance to explore the beach and build sandcastles. We had an adventure on a pirate ship and even got the opportunity to see a pod of dolphins in the sea. We then had a ride on a donkey and a yummy ice cream to end an amazing day. We had such a good time.
The Sunflowers and Daffodils adored their trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. They were a credit to their special grown-ups and we know our special visitor, Mrs Allen, was especially proud of them. The children saw an abundance of animals that they had never seen before and found out lots and lots of facts about them. We especially enjoyed the giraffes, painted dogs, lemurs and polar bears. What a wonderful experience!
The Year 3/4 Owls had an amazing day at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. We made sketches of our favourite sculptures and took photos of the beautiful scenery. We will use these in our art lessons as inspiration for our own work.
The Foxes had an amazing day at The Tropical Butterfly House visiting the prehistoric dinosaurs. We explored the dino trial, watched a bird show, held some mini-beasts and saw lots of interesting animals. A great day all round!
Our Councillors enjoyed a lovely morning at the Town Hall as guests of Barnsley’s Mayor, Councillor Pauline Markham. Mrs Allen and Mrs Sutton really enjoyed it too.
The Hedgehogs were lucky to have a special visitor, our Governor Mr White, who talked to the children about his experiences as a miner. We learned a lot about what it was like and enjoyed handling the coal. This was an also excellent opportunity for us to ask questions to help with our study of ‘an aspect of history that is significant in our locality’.
We had a lovely morning out at Robert Street Allotments with Mr Mick White (one of our School Governors). We learnt so much about different types of herbs and plants ~ thank you for making us so welcome.
Karen from the NSPCC visited us today! Karen introduced us to her mascot (Buddy), she led assemblies for all children in school and she ran workshops for children in Upper Key Stage 2.
We felt very privileged to welcome the Shadow Secretary of State for Education, Angela Rayner, and our very own MP, Stephanie Peacock, to Birkwood. We shared our views about education and the issues that schools are dealing with at the moment.
