• NETBALLERS WIN TWO COUNTIES TOURNAMENT

  Mon 09 Jun 2014

  This Saturday (7th June), our girls went to Samworth Academy to take on the best "CLUB" teams from the TWO COUNTIES. This is the highest standard of netball in our area and attracts weekend clubs who dominate the counties.

   

  Just look at these scores:

   

  Barny Road 18 - 0 Bramcote

  Barnby Road 15 -3 Stapleford Shooters

  Barnby Road 12-0 Hucknall Honeys

  Barnby Road 11-7 Hucknall Wasps (Current Nottinghamshire Champions)

   

  Ebony Smith went on to win the fair player award chosen by all teams players. Over all the girls scored 56 goals and conceded just 10.

   

  Thank you Rachel Moffoot for driving the bus and Miss Graham going along to help with the scoring. Very proud of these girls playing clubs at an amazing level.

• Chess Success!

  Wed 04 Jun 2014 Mr Barbuti

  We were proud to host the final round of the Newark & District chess league in our Main Hall yesterday after school. The hall was packed with 24 teams representing 8 different schools. I think many people were surprised by just how big an event this is! Chess is thriving at Barnby and there is a lot of enthusiasm amongst the children.

   

  Lead by John Crawley, Nottinghamshire's chess coach, the event went extremely well with everyone enjoying themselves (and the squash and biscuits served up by Mrs Beckett!). The hall looked amazing, although very quiet and serious!

   

  Barnby Road entered 4 teams and the final results for the season had our 'D' team finishing as overall runners-up. This is an outstanding result, especially considering the team has been made up entirely of year 5s.

   

  Our other 3 teams also finished strongly with final positions for the season being: Barnby 'A' - 6th, Barnby 'B' - 7th, Barnby 'C' - 11th.

   

  Well done and thank you to all our players who have represented the school over the season. Also thank you to all the staff who stayed to help run the event. You know who you are!

   

   

  

• FANTASTIC YEAR 3 VIKING VISIT!

  Wed 04 Jun 2014
  What an amazing two days of everything Viking in York. From getting on the train to getting off Ms Mitchell and Mrs Linford had Vikings taped up, archaeology, re-enactments, hands on Viking activities, Viking food, farming, houses, weapons, ships...you name it we experienced it! The children were fantastic, the youth hostel hotel standard and the trains on time. Pictures and more details all to be uploaded on the year three class pages soon!
