Ahead of World Book Day on Thursday, our Reception children enjoyed a wonderful Forest School session yesterday, immersing themselves in nature and stories 🙌 After listening to Julia Donaldson's Stick Man, the children were inspired to work together to create their very own Stick Man using fallen branches and other natural materials 🪾 Next, having listened to The Three Little Pigs, the children enthusiastically gathered materials from around the woodland to construct houses just like the pigs did! 🐷 Afterwards, the children found unusual places to read their books. It was lovely to see their excitement as they shared books with friends in special woodland reading nooks 🥰 Well done, Reception – what a brilliant way to enjoy both the great outdoors and the wonder of stories 🌿📚

🌍✨Farlington flies the flag in Antarctica – again!✨🌍 Congratulations to Year 7 students Tallulah and Will whose Antarctica flag design, which they created in their Geography lessons, made an incredible journey to the frozen continent and has now safely returned! Their design reached the stunning Lemaire Channel, often nicknamed the “Kodak Gap” for its breathtaking scenery. 📸❄️ The flag was photographed there by David Goodger, an Electronics Engineer supporting science equipment on board the RRS Sir David Attenborough. Operated by the British Antarctic Survey, the ship has been conducting vital climate, marine and ocean research since 2021 and is built to navigate heavy sea ice while resupplying UK Antarctic stations. For the second year in a row, Farlington has been represented on this remarkable Antarctic mission, what an exciting achievement! 👏🌎 UK Polar Network British Antarctic Survey
