Look at what we have been up to!

• FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN meet a real life author!

  Mon 29 Apr 2024

  Today we had a very special assembly with author Deane Narayan-Lee. He is the author of 'The Loving Earth' and he shared his fantastic picture book with us. It is a story about climate change and humans’ effect on the Earth. This is also the theme of our whole school poetry book 'Be The Change' so the children were very interested and knowledgeable about the topic. We know it is important to Farfield Children to take responsibility for their environment and think about how they can make our planet a safer, greener, cleaner place to live.

  

• FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN write how FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN!

  As their contribution to today's Poetry Slam, 6B worked together to write their own poem. Their poem, 'Farfield Children Can' tugged on all of our heart strings. Take a look at their words and you'll see why!

• Whole School Assembly - Skills

  Mon 22 Apr 2024

  This morning's assembly was about 'Skills'. Adam spoke to us about how we all have different skills and how we use our skills everyday. Learning new skills can be difficult but we talked about how important it is to never give up, even when things become difficult or we may fail. We have set ourselves goals in our myHappymind sessions and lots of these are to learn new skills!

  

• FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN help develop their myHappymind displays!

  Wed 10 Apr 2024

  Last half term all of the children in school completed the 'Relate' module of myHappymind. The focus of this module is on understanding why positive relationships matter and how to build them. Once complete, a group of children looked at all of the displays and made a list of the things they thought were really helpful. This list has been fed back to their teachers so they can use it to make changes to improve the displays to support the children understanding od their mental health even more!
