• Whole School Assembly - Harvest

  Mon 09 Oct 2023

  In today's whole school assembly, Adam talked to the children about Harvest and the Harvest Festival. Adam spoke about harvest meaning the 3G's to him Growth, Grateful, Generous. After singing cauliflowers fluffy, Poppie and Jake came were given a fruit and vegetable each. Jake was very happy with his strawberry, whilst Poppie understandably wasn’t so impressed with her swede. Adam spoke about the fact that this could be all someone could grow and they would eat this throughout the autumn and winter. Finally, he told us the story of stone soup. Where a village worked together to share ingredients to make a very tasty soup. Thank you to all of our families who brought donations today, these will be delivered to the foodbank this week.

• The Girl and The Dinosaur - FARFIELD CHILDREN CAN write amazing things linked to our whole school book!

  Fri 29 Sep 2023

  This 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 2023

  Over 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!
