It was really lovely speaking to you today. You continue to amaze me with how much you are all juggling and managing to do at home. Keep up the fantastic work. Look out for the lockdown award on Monday when I put some of your work up to show.
Have a lovely weekend everyone – looking forward to seeing you on the zoom call!
Children’s Mental Health Week 2021
At BBS, we absolutely recognise the fantastic job you are all doing to support your children with their home learning. The work we are receiving each day is really wonderful. However, we do know that everyone is beginning to tire and we are all ready for a boost.
Our children’s wellbeing is of utmost importance to us. We would like to support them not just for one week but until lockdown eases. Therefore, BBS is going to introduce two things.
1.A weekly ‘Wellbeing Zoom Call’. A time for children to catch up with their school friends and teacher. You will receive further information about this and will have to send in a consent form for your child to be included.
2. A weekly, ‘Wellbeing Day’. This day will vary each week and aims to give the children and yourselves a break from the screen and daily home learning timetable. Each week will focus on one of the 5 steps to wellbeing and you will be given 3 activities linked to that theme. You can focus on just one or complete all of them at a time that is convenient to you and your child. The children with us in school will also be doing the activities and will also have a ‘screen break’.
Below is the timetable for the ‘Wellbeing Days’ and also the activities for the first day which is a ‘Take Notice’ activity ‘GO OUTDOORS’. Each week the activities will be posted on here and will also be on the BBS Facebook page.
Take care and stay safe

HOME LEARNING 2021
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.
This is just to say how disappointed we all are that the children will not be joining us in school for the next few weeks and how we will be delivering our home learning. At the beginning of each week I will send via email the weekly planning sheet for the week ahead. This will also be posted on here. I will also attach any useful resources, however there is no expectation that things have to be printed out and work can be completed directly into the home learning book. Reading Planet and Spelling Shed will be updated weekly also. The children’s passwords are in their planners. Any planners left in school have been put in their learning packs.
I will be contactable through mars @barlbybridge.n-yorks.sch.uk during school hours if you need any support, advice or clarification about any of the tasks set. Work can also be sent if you wish through photos on the same e-mail. Any issues at all please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be in regular contact too to see how things are going.
I have attached the planning sheet and resources which can be used for the rest of this week and then going forward this same format will be used each Monday.
You will see that there are 2 plans. One saying Group 1 and one saying Group 2. Your child needs the Group 1 planning.
I have sent the plans in 2 formats. If the links don’t work you will need to type them in Google.
I imagine as the weeks progress things will need to be adapted and changed but I am sure if we work together on this we can ensure the children still make the progress they need to through the curriculum.
Many thanks, stay safe.
Mrs Herrington
A little film, written and produced by Saturn Class including actors from our amazing Key Worker Bubble. 
To all the children, parents and staff from Barlby Bridge School! Take care, stay safe, have a well deserved break and don’t worry about coming back in September- we have it all in hand!
Watch and see…
Looking forward to seeing you all in September!

Hi Jupiter Class!!! Yes that is what you will be in September,
It’s Mr Chappell here and I am just writing to you to say hello and welcome to Jupiter class. I think today would have been having our transition afternoon where we would have had the chance to spend the afternoon in Jupiter class. Unfortunately we can’t do that right now so I thought I would write to you instead.
Next year we will be based in the current classroom that Jupiter is in (just next door to the office) The adults who will be helping you in Jupiter class this year are myself, Mrs Hall (Monday to Thursday morning) and Mrs Beloniak (Thursday afternoon) and Mr Wood (Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning).
I have spoken with Mrs Herrington and she has told me what superstars you all are and that she will miss teaching you and I can’t wait for September when we get together in our class. The routines will be slightly different in September in terms of our start and finish times until things get back to normal. We will start school at 8:40 and finish at 2:50 so that everyone isn’t bunched together but don’t worry all will be well and I look forward to having great fun and learning lots together, such as in Science about teeth, healthy diets and our digestive system, in History about The Saxons and The Vikings (if things are suitable I hope us to be able to do a class visit based on these themes) and in Computing we will use Scratch to develop our programming skills, to name a few.
I hope you all have fun and relax during the summer break and do all the things you hope to, ready to return to school in September.
See you all in very soon
Take Care
From Mr Chappell

Do you have a child who loves film and writing? We have an exciting 7 week programme for you to follow together. This will give super writing and filming opportunities for the whole of this half term.
If your child is less enthusiastic about writing he/she can still create their adventure-an adult can write down what they want to say for them or they can discuss their ideas verbally and there is the filming part too.
This link will take you to the book to download, the lessons and resources-which are attractively presented. #LitFilmFestClassrooms_ How to Write and Film An Adventure – El Dorado (2)

If your child is less enthusiastic about writing he/she can still create their adventure-an adult can write down what they want to say for them or they can discuss their ideas verbally and there is the filming part too.
This link will take you to the book to download, the lessons and resources-which are attractively presented. #LitFilmFestClassrooms_ How to Write and Film An Adventure – El Dorado (2)
It would be FANTASTIC if you could send your writing and films to the class email address-we can’t wait to see them!! ??
English has many parts to it, not all of them involve writing. This learning resource provides lots of opportunities to develop the English skills we work on in school, such as:
Talk and Language
Reading and Discussion
Writing
Vocabulary
Spelling
Grammar
Of course our ‘Reading Planet’ and ‘Spelling Shed’ sites support some of these skills too!

Dear Parents and Class Mars,
I really hope you are all keeping safe and well and managing to get some fresh air each day. It’s been lovely to see how some of the children are getting on on the school FaceBook page. Don’t forget to share your activities and learning with us. I haven’t done as many Joe wicks sessions this week but I have been keeping up with my usual exercise classes over the internet. It’s very different but nice to see my friend’s faces smiling back at me. I am also trying to go for a couple of runs with Bobby the dog each week.
Did you see the wonderful harvest from the school allottment on the FaceBook page? You guys did an amazing job helping to grow and look after the vegetables. We harvested lettuce, Kale, Spring Onion and many more. Last Tuesday, the children at school helped to plant lots of the other veg and we also prepared the soil ready to plant the carrots! I can’t wait for you all to see.
Amazing work this week…
Amelia has read all the books in her colour now on Rising Stars and has moved up a level!
Charlton has moved up to the galaxy section of his colour books as he has read so many!
Lovely to see Noah, Harley, Sophie and Emily also doing well with their reading!I am keeping a record of all the Rising Stars books you are reading in my folder so you can carry on when we get back to school.

The children had a fabulous morning completing their design and technology wind turbines. After reading the story ‘The Boy who Harnessed the Wind’ by William Kamkwamba, the children decided to make their very own wind turbines. They first sketched a design and decided what they would need to collect before drawing it out on a computer using ‘Publisher’. I’m sure you will agree that they did a fantastic job! We are looking forward to getting out in the wind this week to test them out!
Today in geography, the children were exploring, remembering and using symbols representing landmarks. They played a really fun game to help them remember each one.
Last week, we had a fantastic walk by the canal following part of Selby’s Hidden Heritage Walk. The children enjoyed learning about the Lock Keeper’s Cottages and the trade along the canal. The sculpture and paving stones, just beyond the swing bridge as the canal goes alongside Shipyard Road, were a special treat! The sculpture summarises the history of the canal and its effect and influence on Selby. This was of great interest to the children.
Following the walk, we enjoyed our visit to the library where the children were invited to look at some old photographs of the Selby Floods both in 1947 and 2000. We are excited and ready to start creating some newspaper reports about the event. It was brilliant to see most of you had returned the forms so your children could get their very own library card. Nearly every child came home with a borrowed book which they were excited to take home and read!
The children would also like to thank Mrs Tymon, who visited school to talk to the children about her families experiences of the flooding in 2000.
What a fabulous day we have had. Having finished their science experiment yesterday to test how much vinegar to bicarbonate of soda to use, the children have thoroughly enjoyed erupting their very own volcanoes! Just look at their faces!
