• Happy Summer holidays and Learning Opportunities

  Fri 17 Jul 2020

  What a year! We've missed each and every one of our children and it has been lovely seeing some of them in school since June. But, we are really looking forward to seeing everyone back in September and being back to our one big, happy Barnby family!

   

  We have added some optional learning activities and suggestions which you may want to use over the holidays to help your child be ready for September  (go to your child’s current year group). There is absolutely no pressure to complete these; they are just some ideas for parents/carers who may want some guidance. Don't forget the Summer Reading Challenge too!

   

  We hope you all have a lovely Summer!

• Summer Reading Challenge 📚

  Thu 16 Jul 2020

  Sign up for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge; it is completely free and is a great way to keep children busy and develop their reading over the holidays! Children can access free eBooks to complete the challenge, or visit Newark library which has now reopened.

   

  Children need to read at least 6 books over the summer to earn badges and a certificate. They can also play games and find some free activities on the website.

  We’d love everyone to take part! 📖 📚
