Barford Primary School

On Friday 27th November Barford took part in the annual consortium cup and competed against St Patrick’s, St Edmund’s, St John’s and George Dixon.

In the group stages Barford won 2 and lost 2. In the last group game Barford needed to score 13 goals to progress in the tournament and managed to score 12 goals with the help of ace goal scorer Kemaiya. Barford went through to the semi-final as runners up on goals scored. Barford won the semi-final match against St Georges, but, unfortunately lost in the final against St Edmunds. Lots of chances fell to Gevick and Kasim in the final, but they were unable to finish the chances.

When Mr Martin was asked which players he was impressed with the most he replied "Kemaiya is the star of the team. Without the goals that she scored we would not have reached the finals!" Mr Martin also had special praise for Shavani who he called "the defensive rock of the team!" as Shavani was not afraid to tackle the opposition.

 The whole School would like to say a big well done to the football team on becoming runners-up in the Consortium Football Tournament!

Well done to Abdul, Amaar, Kemayia, Kasim, Shavani and Gevick who played very well and did the School proud. A BIG thank you to Mr Martin for all of the coaching and effort he puts into training the pupils.

Finally, after months of waiting, Barford has a new ICT Suite. The whole project took 4 months to complete and has completely changed the layout of the ICT Suite. Photos of the ICT Suite, showing the refurb, have been added below.

On the 26th November Year 6 had a World War 2 Sound Experience exhibition in the small hall. Year 6 learned about World War 2 and how children lived during the 2nd World War. Year 6 even got to go into a bomb shelter!

Year 5 had the privilege to visit Aston Villa football club. The visit was based around healthy eating and keeping active. The Year 5 children had a tour of Aston Villa and were even allowed to walk down the tunnel and around the stadium! The children also learned about healthy eating and had a game of footy using the indoor facilities. Play the video below to have a look at what Year 5 got up to at Aston Villa football club.

Year 3 worked very hard last year doing their Town and Country Art project. Year 3 learned about natural fibres and goods and compared them to Man made products. Using the Work Booklets Year 3 made a record of their findings. Year 3 also learned where our food comes from, who produces it and the journey it takes from the farm to us in the city. Using this knowledge the Year 3 children created a farm wall piece and a cityscape wall piece. The video below shows the whole process that Year 3 went through to create both wall pieces.
