When you arrive at school, we ask that everyone makes their way into the area that is marked out on the field once you have collected your children in the usual way. You will be shown where to stand.

Looking forward to seeing you all.
Many thanks

I hope you all had a brilliant half term break end enjoyed the Jubilee celebrations.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone back at school tomorrow for our last half term of this academic year. There are lots of fun events planned so keep an eye on the weekly newsletter and your class dojo messages.
See you tomorrow.

Y2 - Y6 participated in the National Numeracy Day official Guinness World Record attempt with TT Rockstars and we broke the record! The old world record was 1,500 people and we were part of over 5,000 people on the live stream. We are record-breakers!

On Thursday some of our Year 6s will be representing St Barnabas in the 2nd Annual Sir David Amess Children's Parliamentary Debate. They will be joining primary schools from all over the UK and they will debate 'How Do We Make The World A Safer Place?'

We wish them all good luck and can't wait to hear all about it.

Alfie and his owner Jane came to visit the Year 3s today. They all had chance to meet/stroke him and also enjoyed reading him a story.

Don't forget to bring some change for the delicious cakes that Attenborough class will be selling from 3.15pm in the playground. Cakes will be on sale from 50p to £1.

See you there.

PUPILS from a primary school in York have been learning about voting on improvements to a local park through a city councillor.

Holgate Ward councillor, Kallum Taylor, visited St Barnabas Primary School to ask for the pupils’ help with deciding between two proposals for improvements to the nearby Victoria Park.

This is a park which the City of York Council have been intending to improve for nearly three years now, but the scheme has been hit with delays.

Cllr Taylor ran a short assembly to show off the two submissions received by the council from play equipment providers, Kompan and Wicksteed. He also explained the voting process to the children.

Councillor Taylor said: “It was great to put the final decision on the long-awaited improvements to Victoria Park to the local children. They clearly enjoyed the exercise and took great care in their choices."

The primary school also have their own 'School Council', who held a meeting with Cllr Taylor.

Come and join us at our Queens Jubilee Tea Party on Wednesday 8th June 3.15pm to 5.00pm. There will be a Scavenger Hunt, Party Games, Afternoon Tea and much more. Secure your child a place by booking the Early Bird Session on parent pay.

Welcome to our brand new page. Over the next few weeks we will bring you lots of exciting posts with photos along with news of our upcoming events. Please help us to get St Barnabas out there and share with your family and friends. Thank you.
