November 2020
Atlantis and Endeavour walked to Warmley War Memorial. Both classes read poems and facts about Remembrance Day then held a minutes silence. They also had chance to explore the memorial gardens and look at the names of those recorded on the memorial for WW1, our topic this term. We laid a wreath of poppies, made by the children, on the memorial from St Barnabas.
October 2020
The St Barnabas charity committee organised and promoted this year’s Harvest collection for the Kingswood Foodbank. They were overwhelmed with all of the generous contributions from our school community and have now sorted through it all ready for delivery to the Kingswood Foodbank later this week.
