• Support for our Farfield Families

  Mon 12 Dec 2022

  This year has been difficult for many people including those in our community. Instead of staff taking part in 'Secret Santa' among themselves. this year they chose to donate gifts to children. Some of these were given to Farfield families and, due to the overwhelming number received, some of these went to the Sandale Trust to be shared more widely in the community. Thank you to all those who were able to donate and a special thank you to our Chief Elf (known as Mrs Benson from January to November) and her assistant Miss Hollie for your help ensuring everyone will have a gift to open on Christmas Morning.

• Plumber Drummer

  Tue 15 Nov 2022

  Key Stage 2 had a visit from the Plumber Drummer today. They enjoyed the performance, finding out how the sound is made and being able to ask questions. 

  The Plumber Drummer plays a series of pipes that make different sounds. Some make longer sounds and some shorter. The deeper sounds are made by the longer pipes as the vibration has further to travel. It can make 18 different notes and is built like a piano. 

  How do you make songs? 

  I improvise, I make it up and use my creativity combining the pieces I like and which sound good together.

  How long did it take to build?

  This one took 4 weeks. My first one took over 2 months though. I've slowly got better and better at building them.

  How do you make the different sounds?

  I can make a different sound with the tambourine on my feet. Kahong with a snare at the top and bass drum at the bottom. The foot peddle helps me play the rhythms. This means I can play solo and play without any electrics.
