Barnby & North CovePrimary School

Willow had an excellent time at Dunwich on Wednesday. We were fascinated by what Sister Luke had to tell us about life in the Middle ages. We had great fun trying on hats and exploring artefacts. To finish off our trip we had a walk along the cliff to the Priory ruins, stopping off to see the last grave left and an extra bonus, we spotted a seal in the sea.

Suffolk country council invited all primary schools in Suffolk to enter their design a road sign poster, promoting road safety . Willow and chestnut class took part, and we could submitted 3 designs from each class, to be judged by a panel of judges in Ipswich this month. Picking 6 entries was really difficult as all the children worked really hard on their posters, making them bright ,colourful and most importantly with a safety message included in the design. The winning posters from schools will be made into road safety signs to be displayed outside their primary school. Well done to all who took part, we will be displaying some of the posters around the school as they were all so good. The winning posters were from willow class Edwin, Jack and James And chestnut class Anya, Evie and Bradley

What a fantastic achievement! Thank you for all of your donations!

Oak Class had a fantastic visit to Bridewell Museum this week where we met Florence Nightingale and trained to be one of her nurses in a series of workshops led by the museum staff. After lunch we took a walk to Edith Cavell's grave, popped into a park for a play and travelled back to school in time for some Mr Men stories. It was a great day and thank you to our PTA for helping to fun the visit as well as joining us to support pupils.

Over the next two weeks the whole school will be focusing on the Learning Characteristic of being 'Curious' . In the whole school assembly on Monday we discussed the meaning of being curious and then children were set the challenge of thinking of questions that they would like the answer to - we look forward to capturing their thoughts next week!

On Monday morning, Hazel had a visit from Kyle and his mobile planetarium. We had an exciting, informative and brilliant time inside the dome. We learnt all about the planets, moon landing and even got to go stargazing.
