  Over the last 6 weeks some of the children in Year 6, Miss Raper and Mrs Sykes have attended the West Yorkshire Fire Service's SHOUT program. This course aims to develop confidence, resilience, teamwork and determination as well as introduce children to aspects of the Fire Service.

  To mark Mental Health Awareness Day, today our children wore green and made donations to raise funds for play equipment. Inspired by this years theme, '#MoveYourWay', Mrs Benson and Miss Mann organised a rounders tournament. After a whole day of matches year 6 were the ultimate victors. Everyone tried their best, had a great time and was reminded of the power of being active.

  

• Be The Change - FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN write poems inspired by our whole school book

  Fri 10 May 2024

  Our whole school summer book has been "Be The Change", an anthology of inspiring poems aimed at nurturing our next generation's passion for looking after our planet. Poets Matt Goodfellow, Liz Brownlee and Roger Stevens inspired Farfield children to believe that they 'can' effect positive change. The buzz around school has been amazing, as children have penned remarkable original poems, earning numerous Golden Tickets for their creativity. Poetic expression has become a communal experience, with students eagerly sharing their verses aloud and discussing their favourite poems and poets in book chat. 

  Our fantastic creativity has been displayed for all to see, including QR codes of pupils performing their own work.

  

• 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.
