SJB Primary School

Year 2 have been busy looking at where the Great Fire of London spread to and creating fire collages.

Watch the clip below to see Kyla from Year 4 echo reading. We really can’t recommend this approach enough. A big thank you to Kyla and Miss Booth!

Last week, we finished reading Street Child by Berlie Doherty. Year 6 wrote some sophisticated book reviews and the whole class should be very proud of their work.

At the going down of the sun, we will remember them.

A wreath was laid at the war memorial in Ulverston on Remembrance Sunday from the community of Sir John Barrow School as a mark of respect to all those who gave their lives during the wars.

We had such a lovely time last week packing our shoeboxes for children in Romania. Thank you so much to everyone who kindly contributed. We know how much these boxes are appreciated and are very glad that this SJB tradition is continuing this year.

Well done, Year 4. Your Krindlekrax creations were lovely and have really brightened up our classroom.

In Year 5 we have started to look at the poem ‘The Highwayman’ by Alfred Noyes. This week we have written reports on the real highwayman Dick Turpin. We then converted our reports into an e-book using the iPads.

Named sweatshirts have been returned to classes. Any without names have been washed and sorted by age. Your children can ask us to find them a clean one if you have uniform missing.

This week in Nursery, we have been sharing the story of The Little Red Hen. She grows some wheat and makes some bread all by herself as none of her friends will help her. Then they all want to eat the bread even though they haven’t done any work. The children all thought this was very unfair and so have tried really hard in our Nursery class to help each other and their teachers. It has been a super week where the children have learnt lots about where our food comes from, had lots of experiences of cooking and preparing food themselves and also learning how to work together as a team.

Great work, Nursery!

Year 2 have been busy this week writing their own version of The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch.
