🌾 Thank You – Harvest Festival 2025 🌾
A heartfelt thank you to all our wonderful parents and children for your incredible generosity during our Harvest Festival last week.
Thanks to your kindness, we were able to collect a fantastic amount of provisions in support of Urban Outreach Bolton, helping to feed those in need across our community. 💛
Your donations continue to make a real difference — and we are so proud to be the charity’s largest single school donor. What an amazing achievement, Lady Barn! 👏

Check out the prep 6 working wall in the art studio. Inspired by the life and works of Yayoi Kusama, the children have created beautifully presented artist studies and constructed mini models of her infamous infinity rooms. Investigation skills help children explore, question and experiment with ideas and materials, building curiosity and critical thinking in art. Model making allows them to apply these discoveries creatively in three dimensions, developing imagination, problem solving and fine motor skills. Keep up the fabulous work, prep 6 ⭐️✨#lbhsopportunity

🌕 中秋节快乐! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 🏮🐇
We’d like to wish a joyful Mid-Autumn Festival to all our families who are celebrating today!
In honour of the occasion, children in Prep 2, 3, and 4 have been learning all about the traditions of the festival during their Mandarin lessons.
Will you be able to see the moon goddess Chang-E, or perhaps her rabbit companion, in the full moon tonight?🌕

As part of Black History month, prep 3 have been celebrating the life and legacy of artist Charles McGee. In their art lessons they explored his powerful use of shape and pattern, learning how his work told stories of identity and community. Inspired by his vision, they created their own paper sculptures. What a creative tribute to an extraordinary artist and a meaningful way to honour Black history #lbhsopportunity

✨ Cosmic Threads Community Art Project ✨
I’m so proud to share that the Lady Barn House Sewing Club contributed TWO beautiful panels to the Jodrell Bank Cosmic Threads Community Art Project!
Using recycled school uniforms as backing fabric to symbolise our cosmic connection, the children stitched their own little pieces of space onto felt. Prep 6 created mini constellations while Prep 5 stitched stars—adding buttons to represent moons and planets. Each panel is bursting with creativity and care!
Kelly, our Sewing Teacher, delivered the finished panels to Jodrell Bank at the start of the week, where Textile Artist Anne Kelly will sew together submissions from all over to create a giant community quilt—soon to join their permanent art collection.
The Cosmic Threads exhibition opens in December 2025, and we can’t wait to see our work displayed as part of this incredible project.
