• Year 4 Fantastic Finish

  Tue 27 Jun 2023

  Year 4's Fantastic Finish for their History topic about the Romans, was a trip to the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. The children took part in two workshops during their visit. They became soldiers and learnt how to do a Roman army drill and they learnt about the story of Boudicca from one of her Iceni tribe members. They also enjoyed a tour of the museum and saw a combat show between a Roman soldier and Celtic warrior!

  

• Science Day

  Mon 26 Jun 2023

  Today, everyone at Farfield took part in our very own science day. We had a whole school focus on comparative and fair testing. Each year group was given a different investigation to complete throughout the day.

  At the end of day, everyone was invited to come and visit Farfield’s Science Fair. Each class had science ambassadors who lead a shortened version of each investigation and were able to explain what they had learnt.

  Have a look at our jamboard to see what the children said about our science day:

• Young Bradford Poetry Project

  Fri 16 Jun 2023

  As part of the Young Bradford Poetry Project with The National Literacy Trust, Year 4 visited the historic St George's Hall in Bradford town centre. The children toured the theatre and learned about its history. The facilitator was very impressed with Year 4's knowledge of Greek architecture which they recognised in the building and was wowed by their vocabulary. They also performed on the stage, reading out the poems they had written about growing up in Bradford. They were very confident and made us very proud with their endless enthusiasm and excellent behaviour throughout the trip.
