The trip was designed to spark imagination and help the children gather ideas for their own scary stories. During the visit, the children explored the atmospheric ruins, paying close attention to the Abbey’s fascinating architecture and mysterious corners. They discussed spooky settings, eerie sounds, and chilling characters that could feature in their stories. The excitement was clear as they shared ideas and planned how to bring their tales to life. We can’t wait to read the spine-tingling stories they will begin writing next week! Watch this space for some truly creative—and possibly hair-raising—work from our talented young authors. ### Year 6 (Class 15) - English - Kirkstall Abbey [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-15-english-kirkstall-abbey/thumbnail_IMG_6599.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-15-english-kirkstall-abbey/thumbnail_IMG_6599.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-15-english-kirkstall-abbey/thumbnail_IMG_6600.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-15-english-kirkstall-abbey/thumbnail_IMG_6600.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-15-english-kirkstall-abbey/thumbnail_IMG_6602.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-15-english-kirkstall-abbey/thumbnail_IMG_6602.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-15-english-kirkstall-abbey/thumbnail_IMG_6603.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-15-english-kirkstall-abbey/thumbnail_IMG_6603.jpg) [English](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/tag/english) [ Year 5 (Class 13) - English - Exploring Kirkstall Abbey for Scary Story Inspiration](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-20-11-22-year-5-class-13-english-exploring-kirkstall-abbey-for-scary-story-inspiration) [Year 3 (Class 8) - Science - Yorkshire Coal Mining Museum Trip ](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-24-02-56-year-3-class-8-science-yorkshire-coal-mining-museum-trip) ![St. Bartholomew’s C of E Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/logo/StBartsLogo.png) ### St. Bartholomew’s C of E Primary School Strawberry Lane Tong Road Armley West Yorkshire LS12 1SF 0113 263 9292 ### Useful Links - [Recruitment](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/recruitment) - [Contact Us](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/contact) - [Admissions](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/parents/admissions) - [Policies](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/policies) - [E-Safety](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/safeguarding/online-safety) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/StBartsLeeds) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stbartsarmley/) © Copyright 2017–2026 St. Bartholomew’s C of E Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
