• Whole School Assembly - 🎄Christmas with Adam🎄

  Mon 08 Dec 2025

  This morning, Adam spoke to us about Christmas. We talked about how sometimes when we are getting ready for Christmas and putting up decorations we get caught up in all the excitement and forget about what is important at this time of year - peace for everyone. We listened to a piece of music that helped us to feel peaceful and thought about how we can help to bring peace and kindness to everyone.

  

• BRIGHT Assembly - High Hopes

  Tue 02 Dec 2025

  The story for our BRIGHT assembly is called 'What Will You Dream Tonight?'. It is the story of how adults wonder what children will dream as they drift off to sleep. Miss Partington talked about how our dreams and our hopes inspire us to become whoever we want to be!

• Whole School Assembly - 🎄Advent🎄

  Mon 01 Dec 2025

  In assembly this morning Mrs Nichols spoke to us about Advent. We talked about how these four weeks leading up to Christmas are important for Christians as this is when they begin preparations for celebrating the birth of Jesus. She shared with us how people take part in Advent around the world: some people have to check their shoes for sweets each morning and some people roller skate to church services!
  Each class also received a present from under the tree to take back to class.

  

• Reading Ambassadors – 🌟📖Welcome to This Year’s Team!📖🌟

  Tue 25 Nov 2025

  We are delighted to introduce our new team of Reading Ambassadors. Each pupil submitted an impressive application, demonstrating not only a genuine love of reading but also thoughtful ideas about how they can enhance the reading experience for their peers at Farfield.

  This enthusiastic and respectful group of pupils are a real credit to our school. Among their many responsibilities, they will help maintain their class libraries and ensure our wonderful library bus remains a welcoming and well-organised space.

  As representatives for their classmates, our Reading Ambassadors will play an important role in sharing pupil voice. They will help us understand what children enjoy reading and how we can continue to develop and improve our reading offer at Farfield.

  We look forward to working with them and seeing the positive impact they will make across our school community.

  

• BRIGHT Assembly - Goals

  Tue 25 Nov 2025

  In this week's BRIGHT assembly, we have read 'Giraffes Can't Dance'. Despite the long neck, bandy knees and slim legs, Giraffe shows us that how resilience and determination help us reach goals we didn't think we could achieve. We talked about our own goals and how resilience can help us achieve them.

• BRIGHT Assembly - Independence

  Tue 18 Nov 2025

  This week in our BRIGHT assembly we read 'Simon Sock'. Although we know that being a team player is a character strength to be celebrated, we learnt through this story that independence is also a great character strength to have. Simon Sock learns that it's great to be yourself and be independent, rather thank having to always be teamed up with a matching partner and we talked about what we could do to show independence also. 

   

  

• Whole School Assembly - 'Pudsey and the Thread of Hope'

  Mon 17 Nov 2025

  Today we shared the story of 'Pudsey and the Thread of Hope' by Tom Fletcher.

  Inspired by Pudsey’s 40-year legacy of hope and resilience, Pudsey and the Thread of Hope was created to celebrate the vital work of BBC Children in Need.

  The story follows Jai, a young boy navigating grief, who discovers healing and courage through a magical journey with Pudsey. Along the way, they meet other children connected by a golden thread of kindness and empowerment, highlighting the importance of trusted, positive relationships in helping young people overcome adversity. The book aims to raise awareness and funds to ensure that children across the UK have access to the support, connection and care they need. 

  Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets and merchandise and wore their own clothes in aid of Children In Need, we are very proud that the money raised will go to those who need it most.

   

  

• BRIGHT Assembly - Resilience

  Wed 12 Nov 2025

  The theme of this week's BRIGHT assembly was Resilience. We shared the story 'After the Fall' and talked about how Humpty Dumpty learns to overcome his fears by keeping on trying even when things feel tough. When we face challenges, sticking with it and showing resilience helps us grow.
