Hand washing experts!
Mon 16 Mar 2020This morning we had a very exciting visitor from a local doctors surgery. Julia popped into to speak to us about the importance of hand washing and she even gave us some tips to make sure we are getting rid of all of those germs. We put some cream on our hand that acted a bit like germs. We could not see the germs with just our eyes, we had to use a UV light. This made the germs light up. We then put our hand washing tips into practise and washed them with soap and water. This highlighted where we needed to focus on when washing our hands and spotted any germs we might of missed. It was mostly our finger nails. We learnt lots and will be sure to use these tips in the future. Thank you Julia!

We will remember them
Mon 11 Nov 2019On Monday 11th November, our Year 5 and 6 children represented the school at a Remembrance Service at St. Gregory's Church, Barnham.
Pupils read the names of 22 soldiers from Barnham who never returned home from war; 19 in World War One and 3 in World War Two.
At 11am we stood in silence for two minutes to remember those who gave their lives.
Revd. Sue Nutt told stories about some of their lives, including where in Barnham they lived, how many brothers and sisters they had and who they married, along with where they served.
After Mrs Arnold read The Beautitudes we read out the poem 'The Talk' By John McCrae, May 1915 and joined in with prayers,including the The Lord's Prayer.
Our service ended with the laying of a wreath and singing 'God save the Queen'.
When you go home tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today.

School Cathedral Service
Sun 06 Oct 2019On Sunday 6th October, Barnham Primary was invited to the annual Schools Cathedral Service in Bury St Edmunds. Children were asked to take part in the service where they had the chance to speak with Dean Joe about our school’s vision:
Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you abide in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.”
The children waved our new school banner and sang with many other schools in surrounding villages and towns. We were all very proud of the way they represented our school J

Iron age - Stone age
Wed 13 Mar 2019On a blustery and cloudy spring day in March, Barnham travelled back thousands of years to the ‘Stone Age’. With a magical array of props and stories Will Lords team complete a historical picture and teach a multitude of skills needed to survive during this period of time.
As the day unfolded each class were introduced to Stig and Mema (Caveman and Woman) and at first sight they seemed a little scary to the children, however they soon overcome their fears once they were introduced to this rare experience of the historical world.
The day was split in to two different sections: Stone age to Iron age (KS2) and Storytelling (KS1), the children learnt a lot in a very engaging and interesting way.
During the stone age section we were taught that most of the animal could be used ,for example: teeth for tools, bones for stitching and guts to make fish nets.
Children's Quotes
“It was funny and interesting”
“Recently in Germany they found a Neanderthal thumb print in some charcoal + beeswax for glue, this was over 70,000 years old. Amazing”
“The face paint was authentic and realistic it was made from red ochre + eyeball glue”
