SJB Primary School

We had a challenging afternoon figuring out how to build a tower from card and paper. It had to be at least 50cm tall and hold a load of at least 3 books. Not everyone was successful, but we had a lot of fun trying!

Yes, we visited The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, cruised on Windermere, visited the Lakes Aquarium and rode on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway.

Amazing what you can achieve in a day!

Year 6 answered questions about Islam better than any other school that has visited.

You may quote Team SJB on that!

Well done Year 6!

A great link for our history topic about the Barrow Blitz.

This week, Year 5 took part in an exciting music production workshop called A Journey Through Sound, led by the team from Horizon Studios.

The workshop gave pupils a chance to explore the world of digital music creation. They learned about how sounds are recorded, layered, and mixed to create a professional track. Using microphones and digital audio software, the children recorded their own samples — from claps and beats to voice snippets — which were then edited and arranged into a collaborative track.

The final result was a fantastic piece of music that truly captured the creativity and energy of the class! It was a brilliant hands-on experience that introduced the children to the basics of music technology and sound production in a fun and inspiring way.

A huge thank you to Horizon Studios for giving our Year 5 pupils such a brilliant workshop!

Year 2 had a wonderful time with Mary, a talented professional harpist who introduced them to the magical world of the harp. Using specially made cardboard harps, the children learned how to pluck strings, create simple tunes, and explore the basics of this beautiful instrument. It was a fun, hands-on session that sparked lots of musical curiosity – thank you, Mary!

We had two 1st places

Three 2nd places

Two 3rd places

Year 5 and 6 won overall!

Thank you to Dowdales for hosting!

Well done to all of our runners in Y5 and Y6.

We are learning about the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah this half term. See what your child can remember about what they have learned so far.
