• Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

  Thu 26 May 2022

  2022 marks the year that Her Majesty The Queen becomes the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of service. 

  Today everyone at Farfield Primary & Nursery School joined millions of people in the UK and around the world to celebrate.

   

  Cakes and biscuits were baked and decorated, trifle and fruit cocktail were prepared, all for our Jubilee Picnic. The children got creative designing Jubilee gowns, colouring flags, collaging and stitching crowns, making deely-boppers and drawing portraits. The decorations were hung and everyone joined in our red, white and blue themed party with games and music from the decades of Her Majesty The Queen's 70 year reign.

   

  Here are just a small selection of photos from our celebrations...

  After reading 'The Barnabus Project, Mrs Brannan challenged the children to create their own 'failed projects'. 

  Mrs Nichols and Mrs Bentley had the very difficult task of judging the entries! The overall winner was Amelia-Rose. Here you can see all of the winning entries with their 'failed projects'. Congratulations to Elissa, Logan, Millie, Ebony, Bobbie, Lewis and Noah. We can't wait to find out about the books you buy with your vouchers!

  

• Starting the summer term with 'The Barnabus Project'

  Fri 13 May 2022

  We began the summer term reading 'The Barnabus Project', a magical story by The Fan Brothers. 

  The book tells the story of Barnabus, he is part elephant and part mouse and as such, likes eating peanuts and cheese! Barnabus showed the children that in his world, perfection really means being true to yourself and your friends, it's a place where by following his dreams he found where he truly belonged.

  This was the inspiration for our whole school writing project.
