Visits & Visitors
Poet Ian Bland at Birklands
On 29th January we spent the day with Ian Bland who is a professional poet. We wrote and performed our own poetry.
Young Voices at Sheffield Arena
The school choir had an amazing time performing in Young Voices at Sheffield Arena. It was a wonderful experience for all the children, performing in a concert at a real arena, with 5,000 other children and professional musicians.
F&B Treat for Year 5
Year 5 had the best attendance, as a class, throughout the year and so were rewarded with a pizza experience at Frankie and Benny's. They thought it was amazing and loved every moment of it. Birklands agreed that the staff at F&B were fantastic with our pupils.
