Everyone welcome! # Mrs Ham's Weekly Message ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/240834582_3038420043103638_1627159472699642677_n.jpg) 3 May 2024 Good afternoon parents and carers, we have had a short but busy week due to the school being used as a polling station yesterday. We hope all of our school family had an enjoyable day in the sunshine. This week the children have continued to achieve 'great things' and have lived life in all its fullness. The highlights of the week were: \* The fantastic Science shows on Monday. Thank you Miss Kachwalla for organising them. \* Our high fives netball team won their Bee Stinger qualifier by winning every game so are through to the grand final. Thanks Mrs Gardner for training the team and supporting at the matches, even on your days off. \* Year 2 visited Four Seasons Garden Centre to learn more about plants and growing. \* We had great fun learning about perseverance by trying to keep two giant inflatables off the floor in Worship with Rev Matt on Tuesday. \* We've had some fantastic clubs such as Little Voices, Cricket, Jag Tag, Netball, Forest Schools and Mad Science. Miss Flynn and our librarians also ran a wonderful lunchtime story and craft club too. \* Year 5 and 6 had another brilliant Jag Tag session each this afternoon.
