It is going to be a very busy year. We can't wait!!!!

Amazing to see the Rotary Art Competition Winners work on display at the Barnsley Metrodome this weekend. Huge well done guys from the Arts Council. Unfortunately Park Street Pupils missed out on first prize this year but your art work was outstanding. You are all winners in our eyes.

Mrs Fitchett sent some photos of the work the children have completed in art club. We think they are amazing. Well done guys!

The arts council have completed final plans for the Winter art competition. The deadline for all entries is December 8th 2023. Please read the letter attached for full details

At today's meeting the arts council generated questions to add to a pupil voice questionnaire. We have worked together to design a template. The arts council will work together to hold some pupil interviews. The arts council will also be collecting ideas for creative after school clubs.

During today's meeting the arts council had chosen to focus on drawing and poetry. The council shared what they had covered during their poetry work this term and the general feeling was that the children in school had enjoyed learning, writing and performing their poems. The council had also asked at the previous meeting if the children could bring along their art books to look specifically at drawing. We really enjoyed looking at the wide range of drawings and sketches and the progression from year to year. The arts council would like to drop in to lessons and take a look at what children are learning in their drawing slot on Friday afternoons. Mrs Longden has agreed to speak to teachers and arrange a drop in date.

Congratulations to the newly elected pupil arts council. It was great to meet for the first time to day and talk about how we can work together to promote and develop the arts through school. Lots of ideas collected. Watch this space for more info!

Well done from the Arts Council to our Year 6 team for inviting all the staff and students to watch their dress rehearsal before they perform for their grown ups. The show was brilliant. W loved your singing, dancing, acting and the comedy sketches were hilarious. We loved the Goggle box films too.

Well done from the Arts Council to all the classes who have performed over the summer term. The singing was out of this world. Well done to Team CH, JW and AC. We love the fact that there are so many shows being performed and our children are showing of their talents.
