Anti-Bullying Week

This year the Anti- Bullying Week theme is “Choose Respect”. We have discussed how we can respect each other and ourselves.
We have produced Acrostic poems about anti bullying and agreed on a ZERO TOLERANCE pledge at our school.
Our odd socks day represented how we are all unique but all respected.

Local Author

A fantastic way to start our morning with a visit from local author Helen Aldcroft.
The children had the opportunity to ask questions and learn about her writing process. We were even treated to Helen reading a chosen chapter of her book to us.
A huge thank you to Helen for such an inspiring morning.

Mock Election

Today we held a Mock Election at Farrowdale. The Year 5/6 formed 4 opposing political parties and campaigned to their fellow pupils. Each pupil then had the opportunity to use a ballot paper to have their vote. The Farrow Party received the majority of votes with their policies on Education, The Environment and Health.
