Our year 3 children went to Shatterlocks Infant and Nursery School to read to them the stories that they hdd written in their English lessons. The children were brilliant and were rightly proud of their work. Please take a look at our Facebook for more photos:    Barton Junior School and Shatterlocks Infant & Nursery School | Facebook

Congratulations to our Awesome Authors! Well done to the winners of our ‘Writing for Fun’ competition that has been running for the last two terms. Each of them have created an amazing narrative for Mrs Mackay to read!

Year 6 and Year 3 visited Dover Museum this week to explore more about their History units of work (Anglo Saxons and the Bronze Age). The children had a fantastic time, building on their knowledge and also impressing the staff with what they already knew. Everyone also took part in different workshops at the museum.  

Well done to all our dancers who took part in Astor's Primary Dance Festival. They have worked really hard to learn the dances and showed bravery in performing their routines in front of many different schools and adults.  We are all incredibly proud of you!  

Next week is 'British Science Week' and we have lots of exciting activities planned. On Monday, children can dress up as a scientist. See the poster for more details.  

Starting this week, we are very pleased to announce that children will be able to have a FREE classroom breakfast at school between 8.30am and 8.50am every day until the end of the school year.   

This week is Children’s Mental Health Week. The theme for this year is ‘Let’s Connect’. All week we will be encouraging children to work together and support each other in groups, teams and pairs throughout their class work. Children will also have the opportunity to take part in a Taskmaster Treasure Hunt with tasks set by Taskmaster’s Alex Horne. Children can also take part in these tasks at home, to find out more please click on the link below: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBCnBUlqwKvoWWJzoxFFwsgrmsyZLemxl  

This week we are launching a weekly parent/carer's coffee meeting that will be held every Friday morning from 9:00am - 10:00am. Miss McConnell, our Pupil and Parent Support Officer, will be armed with teas, coffees and treats to welcome any parent/carer who would like to drop in at any point during those times.  This is a great chance to meet other parents, chat to our pastoral team and discuss anything you would like to, even if it is not school related.
