SJB Primary School

Barrow Raiders will be posting a fitness video every day on Facebook. This will be for their own players during this period and for beginners too. SJB has good links with Barrow Raiders (as shown below from early March) and we wish everybody involved with the team well.

Mr Maher’s brother is designing the sessions and they will both demonstrating how to do the exercises from home. Their first one gives you the general idea and more will follow:

We hope this gives you some extra ideas of how to stay healthy at home. There are some amazing fitness ideas already out there.

We set off to do some gardening but got distracted by building pyramids! You could try that one afternoon.

Miss Sadler, Mrs Fletcher and today’s childcare guests are very pleased with their improvised washing line. The washing machine has been running on its hot setting for a few days now. Some of the junior yellow jumpers will now fit the infants!

A tale of biscuits and dog poo.

What a lovely sunny day! We’re missing you all and thought like to see our timetable for school.

Hello everyone, first of all thank you for following government advice and staying at home. We are proud to be part of a huge effort to keep people safe and support our amazing NHS.

At school today, we practised spelling on IDL and we did this week’s CLIC test. We listened to some stories and played some games on the playground. We also painted some rainbows to put in the windows at school. We hope they will cheer up our neighbours.

I realise a few people have had difficulty getting onto IDL and I will have a look at that this evening and see if I can tick the right boxes.

Why not paint or colour your own rainbow tomorrow?

We bid a very fond farewell to Mrs Parker today. Her contribution to sport at SJB has been invaluable and most of our children have been to swimming lessons or a sports competition with her.

We will be seeing Mrs Parker in school again with the rugby coaches from Barrow Raiders.

All the children have been in the hall today raising their pulses with fitness videos.

We have also been enjoying the sunshine with a mixture of sports on the playground.

We have been learning about baby animals and their parents this week so, in our P4C session, we discussed the characteristics of a range of animals. They decided that a crocodile was probably the fiercest of all the animals because it has very sharp teeth. The children wondered which animals could be matched together. Some thought all the big cats could go together while others thought it would be good to pair up a big animal like a giraffe with a smaller animal like a kitten so the bigger one could look after the smaller one. Great thinking, Reception!
