Welcome to the Barn Croft virtual classroom where teachers can regularly upload teaching resources, news and feedback that reflect the current topics which the children are studying in class.  At the same time the children can also engage in forums and discussions about their learning.  Below you will find some links to other sites that we think are interesting and extend children’s learning.
