Look at what we have been up to!

• FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN be Poets!

  Fri 23 May 2025

  This term we began with the text 'Flooded' by Mariajo Ilustrajo, a beautifully illustrated story of animals who have to learn to work together to save their city. This has been the inspiration for our whole school poetry theme which was celebrated today with each class performing a poem written by the class child from the class.

  Our Reading Ambassadors were our judges and our congratulations go to our winners 3G. 

  Well done to all our children, you performed with the enthusiasm of true Poets!

  

• FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN have super summer attendance!

  Fri 23 May 2025

Congratulations to Zoya and Gracie-Mae - we hope you enjoy your new toys over the half-term break. With only 7 school weeks after the half term break until the summer holidays, keep it up everyone!

  

• FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day

  Fri 09 May 2025

  To celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day we took part in a whole school celebration. Every year group chose an element of VE Day to explore and completed age appropriate tasks to mark the occasion. The children learnt why we celebrate VE Day and why it is a significant day in British history.

  Fri 04 Apr 2025

  Mrs Nichols reads every single Sparkly Star nomination each week. She has a very tough job choosing just two children to receive their Sparkly Star...sometimes it's so difficult that she has to choose three. But at Farfield, no nomination is lost. We'd like to say a huge congratulations to all of the children who were nominated in the Spring Term.

  This term, the following children received Sparkly Stars:

  Mailya, Ella and Kingsley in Reception, Skyla and Evannah in Year 2, Alessio, Teddy, Dallas, Olivia, Dylan, Hinata and Tony in Year 4, Rita and Auran in Year 5 and Kelsey, Laynie-Rae, Noah, Mathew, Scott, Poppy, Millie, David, Lily-Rose, Abdsamad, Kyen, Brianna, Hanani, Harris, Sophie, Umayah, Joseph and Mason in Year 6 all received their green Ready Star.

• FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN receive correspondence from the Palace 👑

  Tue 18 Mar 2025

  In September, the purpose of the writing in Year 6 was to persuade King Charles to do something about deforestation. Our September whole school book, 'There's a Rang-tan In My Bedroom' got the children thinking about what changes need to be made to look after the animals who live in the rainforests and they decided to share their ideas in the letters they wrote.

  This week, Year 6 were excited to receive a letter back from Buckingham Palace who had received our letters and were extremely impressed with our thoughtful contributions.
