Today, year 6 built robots! Dave from Ace Robotics kindly brought in a real-life WALL-E along with a range of smaller robotic kits. Zebra and Giraffe classes designed and built their own robots. They took them through a range of speed and weight challenges, before ending the day with a Robot Wars-style battle!
On Friday 12th July, Barley Close welcome you to the future. We have many different ways to reflect it. You can participate using one of these ideas or your own. These are:
Each class will take part in activities that will have a futuristic themes. Best dressed in each class will receive a certificate in assembly. We look forward to seeing your amazing ideas!
It is that time of year again!
Reception and KS1 will race in the morning and KS2 in the afternoon. See below for the timeslots. Please be aware that the times could slightly vary due to races running over or faster than expected.
Each child will get to choose at least one event that they can race in.
Please ensure that your child brings in a hat, water bottle and if necessary applies sun cream beforehand. Each child is expected to wear their PE kit to school and wear their HOUSE coloured t-shirt.
