Look at what we have been up to!

• TREE-mendous tree planting!

  Thu 03 Mar 2022

  On Thursday 3^rd March we had a tree-mendous opportunity to do some planting across school. This was part of Bradford Council's "Tree for Every Child" project which aims to plant 55,000 trees - the equivalent of one tree per primary school child - over a two year period.

   

  First of all Miss Greenwood's Reception class helped to plant three large cherry trees along the drive. They learnt all about the root systems and had a chance to compare how the bark and soil felt before helping to heave them into position.

   

  Then some children from Y4, 5 and 6 had the chance to plant a variety of young trees (or whips as we found out they are called before growing any sideway branches). They learnt how to safely use a spade and how best to plant the whips before putting hazel, willow, apple and silver birch trees at the top of the field.

   

  Even though it was a rather wet and rainy afternoon, everyone had lots of fun and we look forward to seeing our new trees grow over the coming years.

• Writing inspired by the Buttershaw Beach, Flotsam and Poems about the Seaside

  Fri 01 Oct 2021

  The children have written their own poems, diaries and descriptions all linked to the books Flotsam and Poems about the Seaside. The children also took inspiration from our 2021 Super Starter the Buttershaw Beach!

  Mrs Brannan has been in touch with the creator of Poems about the Seaside, Brian Moses, sharing some of the children's writing with him on twitter.

• 'I DON'T LIKE BOOKS. NEVER. EVER. THE END'

  Fri 07 May 2021

  At Farfield, we don't like books....WE LOVE THEM!!

   

  We started the summer term with our whole school book - 'I don't like books. Never. Ever. The End.' by Emma Perry. 

  After reading this book, there has been story sharing, recommendations written, new adventures planned, alternative endings written, persuasion, debates, investigations carried out and reports written! 

  Take a look at the writing we are celebrating from across school - we really did love this book and the places it took us!

  

• National Day of Reflection - Tuesday 23 March

  Thu 25 Mar 2021

  Tuesday 23rd March was a special day – all across the UK people from all backgrounds and communities came together to reflect on the past year and 

  hope for a brighter future. We tied yellow ribbons to show we were observing a year since the first lockdown began. At 11am everyone at Farfield Primary and Nursery School observed a 1 minute silence and all of the children made lanterns to take home and place in their windows to light up the night.
