Thanks for a great start to our term and I hope everyone has had a good holiday. We have managed to fit in quite a few school improvements to the building over the holidays including a new carpet in the nursery, new flooring in the corridors, and new classroom panels as well as redecoration to the entrance and staffroom. Look out for further information during on forthcoming re-furbishing of some of the classrooms over the next few weeks. I will not be in school next week, as I will be having a simple heart procedure (linked to my previous absence) and I look forward to seeing everyone the following week. Jayne Kennedy

Welcome back to Barlow Hall at the start of our Summer term. Thank you to all those parents who supported our History Day Event in school yesterday and special thanks to the Grandparents who came into to help Reception Class to find out more about what life was like when they were younger. We hope everyone enjoyed the event and the children certainly did. Please can we remind all families to bring in PE kits for your child(ren) as PE lessons will be restarting this week. This needs to include a suitable pair of trainers or pumps as not all children are bringing these in to school for lessons. This will help to ensure that your child stays safe during lessons and can participate well. Year 5 are looking forward to taking part in several projects during the Summer term. We are looking forward to a visit from St Christophers school in Stockport next week when the children from our Linked School get to see what life is like at Barlow Hall. Year 5 are also taking part in a special project with Manchester City Football Club called Strike a Balance, where a coach from MCFC will work with us for five weeks on both practical sports activities and some work in the class on how to keep healthy. This term Mrs de Silvas class and Miss Sawyers Class will be swimming on Fridays so please could parents of children in those classes ensure that their child brings their swimming kit in each week.
