Extra curricular activities are an important part of life at Barnburgh Primary Academy.  We offer extra curricular activities to children throughout their time at the school. Although children take part in the activities for fun and enjoyment, we feel they play an important part in the education of the child. Commitment, perseverance and working as a team are all important life skills.

 

Sports Club

Currently, we have three sports clubs on offer after school. Sports clubs are mixed year groups so provide children with opportunities to have fun and be active with children in their own and different classes. Our sports clubs are run by Mr Goddard, from Xcite Sports and Fitness. The multi-sport clubs offer a different sport each week so there is something for everyone!

Sports clubs cost £3.25 a session. If children are interested in attending, they need to complete the form attached to the ping sent out by Mrs Kay. Children should wear something suitable for sport for these clubs. 

Clubs currently on offer:

A football club for KS1 and KS2 (Years 1-6) - Thursdays 3-4pm

A dodgeball club for KS1 and KS2 (Years 1-6) - Fridays 3-4pm

 

Drama

At Barnburgh Primary Academy, children in Key Stage 2 are invited to join the drama club with Ceri from Cre8 Drama. The pupils are given the opportunity to develop and demonstrate their creative talents. As with all arts, drama involves imagination and feeling, and helps children make sense of the world. It does this through the creation of imagined characters and situations, and the relationships and events that they encounter. Through engagement in drama, pupils apply their imaginations and draw upon their own personal experiences. Each term, the children perform their showcase to parents and are also involved in the Barnsley Drama Festival.

 

 

 

Choir

At Barnburgh Primary Academy, children in Key Stage 2 are invited to join the school choir with Miss Allison. The choir sing a wide variety of songs throughout the year that aim to develop vocal technique, singing in different styles and singing together in harmony. Throughout the year, the children in the choir have the opportunity to perform to audiences including their peers and parents. We offer a range of enrichment opportunities to the choir such as singing at multi-choir events and performing to the wider community. 

Being part of a choir allows children to have a sense of belonging, work together as a team, develop musical skills, build confidence and improve emotional well-being. 

 

 

 

Recorder Club

At Barnburgh Primary Academy, children in Years 3 and 4 are invited to join the Recorder Club. Pupils are given the opportunity to develop their musical skills, confidence and enjoyment of performing. Through learning to play the recorder, children build their understanding of rhythm, pitch and melody, while also developing teamwork, concentration and listening skills. The club encourages children to express themselves creatively through music and to gain confidence in performing in front of others. Throughout the year, pupils have the opportunity to showcase their talents during school performances and special events for parents and the wider school community.

 

Art Club

At Barnburgh Primary Academy, children are invited to join the Art Club, where they are encouraged to explore and develop their creativity through a range of exciting artistic activities. Pupils have the opportunity to experiment with different materials, techniques and styles, helping them to build confidence and express their ideas in imaginative ways. Through drawing, painting, sculpture and craft activities, children develop their artistic skills while also improving their concentration, resilience and attention to detail. The club provides a fun and supportive environment where pupils can share ideas, work collaboratively and take pride in their creations. Throughout the year, children have opportunities to display and celebrate their artwork within school and during special events.
