St Barnabas CE VC Primary School

Ta**us and Aries classes were kindly gifted some money to spend in store Better Food We walked over with a shopping list so we could cook and host our very own MasterChef curry off! We split into two teams, those who like a bit of spice and then a team who prefer a creamier mild curry. Mrs Fisher helped us to judge. What a fun day, which one looks most appetising to you?

World Book Day - the staff went all out with costumes and pyjamas to celebrate World Book Day today.
Children started the day with a special assembly and continued with themed activities including forest building, filming an advert for their chocolate box design, making clay monsters and cooking all based upon the same story:
Grendal, A Cautionary Tale About Chocolate.

A reminder that it is INSET DAY tomorrow and therefore the school will be closed to all children.
We look forward to seeing you all on Monday 20th February at 8.40am for the start of Term 4 🙂

Scorpius Class residential part 2!
Children completed a whole host of activities including Low ropes, Survival in the wild, Eco cooking which involved everyone making their own lunch and baking it in the clay pizza oven - yummy!
Year 5 and 6 pupils also learnt that all animals on the sustainable farm have a job to do - even Jenny the therapy horse!

Scorpius class had an amazing time at their recent residential on the sustainable Magdalen Farm, the views were amazing and the children got to get involved in a whole host of activities including finding out about the 'Eggonator 3000' which weighs and sorts eggs!
Children found out about the difference in living conditions of the chickens and the prices of eggs in the supermarkets!

Aries enjoying a party as a treat for winning the attendance award.

Aries pupils have also spent some time being historians and looking at chronology. We placed some important events in the UK’s history as well as Bristol’s history on a giant timeline. We then added some of our our personal history to this.

Children in Aries have been building Anglo Saxon houses after spending time learning about them and their way of life. We thought about structure and how we could make our houses stronger. We used the glue gun for the first time to hold our houses together too which was very exciting.

What a lot of great learning Aries class and well done for winning the attendance award! 👏

Welcome back to all our staff and families - Term 3 here we go!

We’ve been working with this week cooking delicious lunches with children who also took part in sports activities. Thanks to the children of Cabot Primary and for being brilliant!
