Farra News - Aint got one?

Please see Mrs Bird either Lunch or After School to collect a copy of Summer 2013 Farra News, if you aint yet got one!

Looks great guys:)

Coming soon ...

Our first issue of the school year will be published soon.  Mrs Bird has been doing final checks with our page designer; Mr Duncanson has created us a fab front cover; Mr Fearon has been proof reading.  Watch this space - all of the news team stories written before the summer will be published in print in the coming week.  This is our only printed edition of the year and it is always an epic - 20 pages. As well as being delivered to our primaries, we also distribute locally and give out copies on Open Evening.  Exciting times - especially as its our first issue as Farringdon Community Academy.

Gorgeous!

Thanks to those who turned up tonight to get the September photo done - as promised I have put really good looking version on here!

Stories to me by Friday, thanks for all your help with Y6 those of you that helped, you were fab.

Jobs for Charlotte Eastick, Sophie Hill and Alison Gash

This is for Sophie Hill, Alison Gash and Charlotte Eastick (Me).

We have been given a sheet of paper each as of which includes a list of some of the pupils that go to our school. A child from each school in the area has been chosen to write about; 1: How they felt about coming to Farringdon and how they feel now. 2: New opportunities and experiences they've had. 3: The best thing that has happened to them this year and 4: Advice that they would give to anyone thinking of coming to Farrinngdon. We also need a photo of them. The deadline for this is 11th of July. We also don't need to do Mill Hill, Benedict Biscop  and New Silksworth. Also me and Alison have a few other tasks to do for the newspaper within school as we have to see Miss Leach about one of our tasks that we have to do. Thank you! ~ Charlotte Eastick
