Barden Primary School

What a fantastic Roman Day our Year 4 pupils have had! 🇮🇹🏛️
The children fully immersed themselves in life in Roman Britain and took part in a range of exciting activities throughout the day. From soldier training to tasting Roman-style foods.
We also got creative by building Roman roads using biscuits, chocolate and marshmallows – a delicious way to explore engineering! 🍫🍪 They enjoyed learning about life in Roman schools and even had a go at writing in Latin.
It’s been wonderful to see such enthusiasm, curiosity and teamwork. A big well done to all of Year 4 for making the day so memorable!

Last Friday, some of our Year 4, 5 and 6 children had the privilege of visiting Emirates Old Trafford, home of the Lancashire Cricket team. The children had a fantastic day watching Lancashire take on Middlesex and enjoyed taking part in lots of fun activities around the ground. One of the highlights of the day was watching the mascot race, where everyone cheered loudly as our very own Bertie Bee raced to victory! The children were a credit to the school and thoroughly enjoyed this memorable experience. 🏏

Some of our Year 5 and 6 children attended the T1 Rugby Festival representing Team Italy 🇮🇹🏉

We had lots of fun learning and playing the new rules while competing against local schools. The children showed fantastic teamwork, sportsmanship and enthusiasm throughout the day.

Well done to everyone involved! Thank you to Burnley School Sport Partnership and Simon for organising such a great event!

What a fantastic day for some of our Year 4 children! 🌟

They were invited to take part in a Lancashire School Games event at Accrington Cricket Club, where they enjoyed an action-packed day of sport and activity.

The children were lucky enough to be coached by Lancashire cricket coaches, developing their batting, fielding and bowling skills. They also took part in a variety of activities including running, football, golf and archery.

A huge thank you to Burnley Schools Partnership for the invitation and to Accrington Cricket Club for being such fantastic hosts.

What a fantastic time at the Year 5 & 6 Walking Festival in Rowley! 🚶‍♂️🌿

We enjoyed walking to different points along the route and taking part in fun team-building activities along the way. It was a great opportunity for everyone to work together, stay active and enjoy the outdoors.

A big thank you to BSSP for such a well-organised and engaging event—we had an amazing day! 👏

Pipits have been having lots of fun reading Jack and the Beanstalk! 🌱📖
Mrs Hindle even used a little bit of magic to help the beanstalk grow — much to everyone’s amazement! ✨
