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.
In Year 6, we looked at artwork by Roy Lichtenstein. Peter helped us to create our own pieces of artwork, inspired by the artist.
The Jaguars are very proud of their completed artwork. Thank you Peter for a wonderful afternoon!
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.
