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.

Congratulations to Jasper from our Year 6 class for continuing his position as the U12’s Goalkeeper for Burnley Academy. Jaspers contract has been extended for the 2024/2025 season.

Well done Jasper, we are very proud of you.

The children and staff at Farrowdale had a fun filled trip to Gulliver’s World last week.

What a wonderful pirate day our Early Years had on Friday! The children decorated biscuits, completed a treasure hunt, ate lots of yummy pirate food, played games, got a tattoo and did lots of dancing!

A huge congratulations to the children of Farrowdale who completed the LAMDA Group Acting Examination. The Juniors attained a Distinction and KS1 a Merit- an amazing achievement!

Yesterday we celebrated Earth Day. We talked about how we could help our planet by saving water, walking to school, planting flowers and trees, turning off light, recycling and picking up litter.

This morning our Early Years went on a bug hunt! We found woodlice, slugs, beetles, earwigs, snails and worms. The children had so much fun.

To celebrate National Pet Month, we had a visit from our very own Sid! The children loved having Sid in school yesterday and all had the opportunity to pet him.

Well done to all the children entering our egg decorating competition today.

The standard was incredibly high again this year, with many amazing creative and imaginative entries.
