The Girl and The Dinosaur - FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN write amazing things linked to our whole school book!
Fri 29 Sep 2023This September our whole school text was 'The Girl and The Dinosaur' by Holly Hughes. After three Dinosaur Days and a visit from Teach Rex the children of Farfield were truly inspired!
Here is the result - the corridor is awash with bright colours, incredible artwork and an array of writing from across all of the year groups in school. The displays proudly showcase the hard work and enthusiasm the children have shown during their writing about 'The Girl and the Dinosaur'.
Children have enjoyed following Marianne on her magical journey and they have captured the spirit of the story in different types of writing from letters to stories and much more.
Author Mary Pope Osborne said, 'Reading is a passport to countless adventures'. It is evident from the children's writing that they have been on one of those countless adventures with Marianne and Bony. Where will their next adventure take them?

The day the DINOSAURS came to school - a visit from TeachRex - FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN experience ROARSOME things!
Fri 22 Sep 2023Over the last two days, a dinosaur – yes an actual dinosaur – has visited Farfield Primary and Nursery School!
Children have had the chance to meet Jam, a young T-Rex. Our younger children also had a visit to their classrooms from some baby dinosaurs. It has been a very exciting end to our work on our whole school book ‘The Girl and the Dinosaur’. Children learnt a lot about how these terrific creatures lived from Jam’s friend, Sam. Sam explained how T-Rex’s would hunt and what their bodies were adapted for. Did you know that scientists believe that T-Rex might have had feathers? The huge 'Tyrant Lizard King' also used its long tail to balance.
The children in Nursery had an amazing experience meeting Jam and the baby dinosaurs - Sam and Jam made the children feel safe and involved throughout. The children were so excited to tell their grown-ups all about them:
“I lied down and it tickled my tummy!” - Jahan
“He tried to eat me!” - Keevan
“It was a T-Rex. His name is Jam. He was cute!” – Neave
Other children in school were as equally enthralled by Jam.
“I enjoyed it because Jam the T-Rex was big and did lots of silly things!”
“I loved going on the green screen because it was like we were in a movie!”
“I liked it because we learnt lots of facts about dinosaurs.”
It is safe to say that Jam (and Sam) have been very well received at Farfield and the children really have had a ROARsome time!
*No teachers were hurt in the making of these T-Rex-ific memories!

September Starter 2023 - DINOSAUR DAYS & DREAMS
Fri 08 Sep 2023Unidentified bones in the school field, incredible prehistoric skulls in the hall and magical, melodious tunes in classrooms – who knew the first three days of this new term would transport us back in to the past when dinosaurs roamed and T-Rex ruled!
Children were welcomed into school on the first day back by our very own Farfield Palaeontologists – better known as Mrs Nichols, Mrs Atkinson and Mrs Bentley. School was a flurry of activity with all of the children getting involved in a range of different activities linked to our whole school book ‘The Girl and the Dinosaur’ by Hollie Hughes. Children enjoyed taking part in different activities including: digging for dinosaur bones, visiting the dinosaur museum, learning a dinosaur song and creating a wet felt dinosaur image.
Make sure you check Dojo to look at all the exciting workshops!
