  Dear Staff, Governors, Parents and Children,

  A great big thank you for the wonderful “Send offs” I was given last term and for all the fantastic presents and cards... particularly the words. I have re- read over 300 cards and several very beautiful and special letters, which I will treasure and intend to keep in my special box...I’ve just  this minute finished reading my subscription copy of Trout Magazine, checked the time on my lovely new watch, put down my beautifully inscribed glass  full of  wine ( I have enough wonderful wines to keep me less than sober for the next ten years and enough bottles of champagne to think of you every New Year during that ten years); glanced at my signed photo of Mr Martinez (“May he live Forever”) and my lovely  framed photos of school and sports teams, had a few more lovely chocolates from my extensive range, glanced at my  Beano annual, finished my chicken from the fantastic gas barbecue you bought me ,undone my chef’s apron from my even more rotund figure, and am about to pack up with my brand new fishing equipment, having filled up my fishing flask with “Irn Brew”. Leaving the house I will hang up one of my lovely “Gone Fishing signs”, then off to start a new life with the kind wishes and memories of such a fantastic school and community with me for ever.

  Thanks Barnby Road, you are such good people, keep up the work ethic and that fantastic community spirit that makes you and those incredibly deserving Barnby children so very special and so successful.

  I will think of you often,

  Kev Eveleigh

  Congratulations to the radio club run by Helen Mitchell and John Grindley who at the end of last year entered a competition to create a piece called "Perfect Summer" and ran out the eventual winners. There prize was a £100 Amazon Voucher to buy something to be used at school. The children involved in the winning piece were Callum Mumby, Ned O'Malley, Naomi Burke & Kyle Scott. I will try to upload the piece onto the website sometime this week.

• FUN SPORTS FRIDAY CANCELLED

  Thu 17 Jul 2014
  Soaring temperatures on Friday and no ability to provide shade. The Fun sports is a rotation of 1.5 hours of activities. I have decided it would be foolhardy to expect the younger children to manage this safely. Regretfully, it is cancelled this Friday.

• DAY 3 RESIDENTIAL UPDATE

  Wed 16 Jul 2014 MR WEBSTER

  Following a lovely day in the Dales and staff vs children rounders (the children won), breakfast this morning was a quieter affair!  However, your children are happy and healthy, full of bacon and eggs and ready for our exciting trip to the caves.  We should be back at Barnby for about 5pm this afternoon.

• DAY 2 RESIDENTIAL UPDATE

  Tue 15 Jul 2014 MR D WEBSTER
  After a good night's sleep the children have all tucked into a gigantic seemingly endless breakfast.  All prepped up now to go on our walk in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

• YEAR 5 RESIDENTIAL TRIP UPDATE

  Mon 14 Jul 2014 MR WEBSTER
  All arrived safely in Malham. Had a lovely lunch at 5 Rise Locks in Bingley, now off to explore the pretty Yorkshire Dales village of Malham. The children are very excited!

• NEXT INSET DAY CLOSURE FRIDAY JULY 11th

• 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!
