'Wish you were here!'
8th - 12th February 2021
Our week was a celebration of the United Kingdom. The history and geography of the land, the customs and traditions, the food and language. This gave us the opportunity for a deeper look at the country we live in.
The week gave us a chance to explore the British Isles. We celebrated the best things about the UK; from the best foods, drink, music, architecture, people, animals and places. As well as core British values of tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions and our multicultural society.
We have a lot to be proud of and the lockdowns have highlighted this. Everyone is now spending even more time at home so this was the perfect opportunity to look at where we live and celebrate the good things!
Class teachers uploaded a variety of tasks based around the United Kingdom; covering many areas of the curriculum. We also took part in live quizzes and ran our own ‘BHP Bake-Off’.
Our specialist weeks always aim to be fun and we provided the children with lots of interesting online learning. We were so impressed with the hard work from all pupils. The half term ended on a very positive note – Well done Barleyhurst!

'Once upon a time in Barleyhurst'
Book Week October 2020
This year our annual Book Week sadly wasn’t the usual, interactive week that we have all enjoyed over the years as the children needed to stay in their bubbles. Instead, this year the activities were more class based but still allowed the children to explore and share stories together.
Our theme was 'Once upon a time in Barleyhurst' and we obviously explored fairy tales! Staff planned a wonderful week of reading, planning, exploring, writing and enjoying texts! Some classes focused on one particular fairy tale and others delved into lots of different stories to explore.
Although there were no whole school activities this year we still wanted to offer the opportunity for the children to finish the week with our usual fancy dress Friday! As the theme was fairy tales, we saw lots of princesses, princes, woodcutters and ugly sisters around school and as a special treat, to replace our usual tea party on the Friday, we watched a fairy tale based film on the Friday afternoon in class.
