‘Together we are stronger. Together we achieve’ Once again another two exciting weeks. The academy is so busy with some fantastic learning happening. The staff and the children have settled well into their new routines. The Year 6 children have started their DARE programme and are really enjoying the challenge of lots of new information. The Year 2 children had a great time at Retford Oaks Academy completing their Multi-skills PE day and their behaviour was impeccable – we are all very proud. The Year 5 children completed orienteering at Sherwood Pines and even though the walk was a little bit long they all managed brilliantly and the rain held off too!
We look forward to what the next two weeks will bring.

Aldi’s Kit For Schools
For those parents and carers who love an Aldi shop (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?!) we are collecting stickers for the Aldi Kit for Schools competition. Can you please drop any stickers you receive into the main office and give your family and friends a nudge to donate too? Thanks in advance for your support.
Well what can I say, these last few weeks have been an absolute pleasure. The children and staff have all returned to school with enthusiasm and a thirst for learning. The atmosphere in school is buzzing and everyone has embraced the new and improved behaviour systems. Our school improvement focus this term is based upon attendance, behaviour and quality teaching and learning. We are off to a flying start and I will continue to keep you posted on our progress. The future is looking very exciting!

Community Events
To support our community we would be really
grateful for any events or sports clubs that
take place that our children can attend after
school. If you have any posters for brownies/
scouts or clubs, or know the dates and times,
please let the School Office know and we can
add them to our community board.
Family Survey
We would be really grateful if you could fill out this
short questionnaire by Monday 30th September. A big
thank you to everyone who has already completed it.

4th-11th November 2019
Sherwood Pines
We are very proud of Class Said! We had a long but incredibly valuable day map reading our way to Sherwood Pines and then around the orienteering course. We spent time together in the great outdoors, laughing, talking, tying shoelaces and reading maps. We are so lucky to have Sherwood Pines on our doorstep and a wonderful class to share it with. Well done everyone for walking all that way and thank you to all the adults who made this possible. We are much better at map reading now. Don’t forget that there is a family orienteering course available at Sherwood Pines so children can teach the rest of their families how to do this too! We’d love to hear about your adventures if you try it.
Online Safety
The internet is essential in 21st century life for education, business and social interaction. As children move up through the school their access to various types of technology increases and it stands to reason that their exploration and curiosity increases too. The positives of the digital world overwhelmingly outweigh the negatives but children, schools and parents all need to be aware of various online risks. Your help is still needed to prevent children accessing inappropriate material at home by way of filters and parental controls. Keeping children and young people safe online is one of the biggest challenges facing society today and it is all of our responsibility to ensure that children are educated to make positive, informed choices when they are online. Here at Samuel Barlow Primary Academy we follow the SMART Rules below.
