The Lucy V. Barnsley Science Fair is BACK!
The PTA is excited to sponsor this event for our Barnsley students. Barnsley students in 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade are eligible to participate. All students are welcome to attend the
Science Fair and see all the amazing projects on display.
Science Projects can be individual or a group of 2-3 students max. All participants will have to work on their projects at home. There will not be any opportunity to work on your project during school hours. If you choose to have a group project, you will have to coordinate meeting with your partner(s) outside of school.
Projects must be written up and displayed on a tri-fold board. The display must stand by itself. Due to space limitations, please do not have a display bigger than the standard tri-fold display board of 28-30 inches long x 40 inches high. Make sure your name is listed on the display board.
If you would like the PTA to provide you with a board, please contact your teacher. We will arrange delivery of the board to the student’s class prior to March 30th.
All completed science projects will be set up at the school the day of the Science Fair from 6-630p. The Science Fair will kick off at 630p. Every student that participates in the Science Fair will be entered into a raffle. You must be present at the Science Fair to be a raffle winner. At 8p, we will announce our student raffle winners. At 830p, students will begin to pack up their projects to take home.

Science Fair Guidelines and Scientific Method Overview
¡La Feria de Ciencias Lucy V. Barnsley está de vuelta! La PTA se complace en patrocinar este evento para nuestros estudiantes de Barnsley. Los estudiantes de Barnsley de 3.°, 4.° y 5.° grado son elegibles para participar.
Todos los estudiantes son bienvenidos a asistir a la Feria de Ciencias y ver todos los increíbles proyectos en exhibición. Los proyectos de ciencia pueden ser individuales o de un grupo de 2-3 estudiantes como máximo. Todos los participantes tendrán que trabajar en sus proyectos en casa. No habrá ninguna oportunidad de trabajar en su proyecto durante el horario escolar. Si elige tener un proyecto grupal, deberá coordinar una reunión con su(s) compañero(s) fuera de la escuela.
Los proyectos deben escribirse y exhibirse en un pizarrón tríptico. El pizarrón debe sostenerse por sí mismo. Debido a las limitaciones de espacio, no tenga una pizarrón más grande que tres pliegues estándar de 28 a 30 pulgadas de largo x 40 pulgadas de alto. Asegúrese de que su nombre aparezca en el panel de visualización.
Si desea que la PTA le proporcione un pizarrón, comuníquese con su maestro. Organizaremos la entrega del pizarrón a la clase del estudiante antes del 30 de marzo.
Todos los proyectos de ciencias completados se instalarán en la escuela el día de la Feria de Ciencias de 6 a 630 p.m. La Feria de Ciencias comenzará a las 630p. Cada estudiante que participe en la Feria de Ciencias participará en una rifa. Debe estar presente en la Feria de Ciencias para ser un ganador de la rifa. A las 815p,
anunciaremos a los ganadores de la rifa estudiantil. A las 830p, los estudiantes comenzarán a empacar sus proyectos para llevárselos a casa.

Barnsley Chess Club
2023 Spring session
The Barnsley PTA is pleased to sponsor chess lessons with Chess Master Arkadiy Frenkel. Mr Frenkel is a chess master (USCF rating 2374) and a chess instructor with over 30 years experience teaching chess. He has taught at Catonsville Community College, Potomac ES, Ashburton ES, and many other schools including here at Barnsley.
Chess Club is open to students of all levels: beginners learn how to play chess, while more experienced students work on improving their strategy. A portion of each class is devoted to instruction and a portion to play (students are matched with those of similar ability). Students participate in individual and team chess tournaments during the second part of this session.
Chess teaches kids to think before they act. They learn strategy, sportsmanship, and about the consequences of their decisions. It’s also a lot of fun!
Registration will be online only!
Chess Club will be capped at 30 members!
