At the end of the day, Leanne (our local Police Community Support Officer) came into school to present the Christina Mulder Sports Day trophy to the winning house. Once again, Hudson-Taylor won the trophy, with new house captain Sam receiving the trophy:
The team were pleased about that!
Leanne also presented the House Shield for 2011-2012 to Hudson-Taylor:
Despite the weather, then, a very successful day, with all pupils being given an anniversary BCS mug at the end of the day to celebrate.
Friends of Barnsley Christian School (FBCS) is a group of parents, friends, staff and pupils who are working to improve the facilities in school and enhance the school's family atmosphere.

Olympic Bake 'n' Take
No, we don't mean a marathon session lasting weeks! Instead, the final Bake 'n' Take of the school year will be on Monday 16th January at 3 p.m. until 4 p.m. We hope there are lots of willing bakers out there who are able to provide us with home-baking (especially buns, cakes and biscuits) on an Olympic theme. Any home baking will be gratefully received. Please ensure this is dropped off at school in the morning and we look forward to seeing you all there in the afternoon to make this last fund-raiser of the year a great event!
Finally, Pat Ainsworth (an Olympic torch bearer) will be in school to talk with the children and show them the Olympic torch she carried on Friday 20th July at our final assembly of the year. We are very grateful for Pat's willingness to come into school and show pupils the torch and we hope to be able to take a lot of photos of this event!

Sports Day
Sports Day will be this Friday (13th July) from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., but unfortunately will not be at Shaw Lane as planned because of the recent wet weather.
Instead, we will be holding the event on split sites, with Primary pupils competing in their House teams in the Sports Hall at school and Senior pupils competing in their House teams in the YMCA across the road. Points from each activity will be added up and the Christina Mulder Sports Day Trophy will be awarded to the winning team (House) at the end of the day. We will also be presenting the House Shield to the winning House at the end of the day.
Because of the change of venue, parents will not be able to attend (neither venue is large enough to accommodate parents as spectators.) We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this change of plan and hope that parents will understand the constraints placed on us by the unfortunate weather.
The schedule for the day is:
10 a.m. - 12 noon
Fun games
12 noon - 1 p.m.
Lunch (all pupils will eat lunch in school whilst completing 'A Question of Sport' quiz, for which house points will also be awarded.) Pupils need to bring their usual packed lunch as well.
FBCS will be providing free ice-creams for all pupils at lunchtime. There is no need for pupils to bring any money for this.
1.00 - 1.45 p.m.
House teams compete in a Penalty Shoot-Out competition
1.50 -2.35 p.m.
Rounders
2.40 p.m.
Senior pupils will return to school where there will be an awards ceremony for the presentation of the Christina Mulder Sports Day Trophy and the House Shield.
Sports Day will finish at 3 p.m. and parents will be able to pick up their children from school at 3 p.m. on that day. Please note that Primary pupils will be supervised until 3.30 p.m. if parents are unable to collect children earlier and that Senior pupils will be allowed out of school at 3 p.m. if they are not being collected.

Jubilee Party fun
Here are the last photos from the Jubilee party:
And the house points? Aylward were the winners, with 19 points. Wilberforce scored with 17 points and Hudson-Taylor scored 16 points. These points will be added to the general house points' total and the winner will be announced at Sports Day, on 13th July.
Meanwhile, downstairs other volunteers were busy serving cream teas and buns and biscuits, but alas... we have no photos from this, as the camera was working overtime upstairs! Apologies for that, and many, many thanks to all who helped in so many ways to make this a memorable end to the half-term. Have a great holiday!
