BH@Home BH@Home During BH@Home it became apparent that our Pupil Profile actually applies to both children and staff. The team had to react quickly, yet decisively and with an understanding that everybody was experiencing a completely unique situation in very personal ways. Barrow Hills came through this time stronger, more resilient and better prepared (for greater things) having followed the characteristics of the Profile. The community was:
Compassionate towards others in the School and in the wider world;
Curious about exploring new possibilities and developing new strategies;
A full programme of remote learning was swiftly in place as lockdown loomed, the photos are just a handful of examples of the children embracing this new way of learning. They sung along with the music department, they ran, hopped, skipped, jumped and cycled miles with Mrs Burnett, they practised their techniques
Brave when meeting the new challenges presented; Scholarly in the way that we learnt and in developing our love of learning in many new mediums;
Generous of spirit, and in sharing our time and our gifts; Joyful in our appreciation of our families, our friendships, our School and the world; Truthful and true to ourselves in offering and accepting support from one another; Responsible in what we have said and in what we have done.
with the sports department, they had a ball with Madame Early cooking, singing and telling jokes in French. Geography@ Home encompassed ant theme parks, Science@Home saw the Wacky Scientist Competition. English and drama remotely included creative writing and talent shows with Mrs Mason, Mrs Campbell-John and Mrs Goedkoop. Forest School@Home continued under the guidance of Mrs Wilson and weekly activities ranged from yoga, to litter picking, from cookery to first aid qualifications. Year 8 embraced a Toilet Roll Challenge and the key worker children enjoyed celebrating VE Day at school. This is far from an exhaustive list but demonstrates the creativity and forward thinking shown across the year groups from Nursery to Year 8 and all subjects as teaching and learning continued during this time.
