Finally, Spring has sprung! The school is starting to look at its prettiest and now its finally stopped raining  we're hoping to open the field soon..

The school has been filled with Book-week themed activities and plenty of children searching for the elusive T-read-ors (based on the TV game Traitors children have to work out the secret reader and their book).  Please have a look at some of our pictures from the week, especially our book character parade. Each year group learnt a poem and recited it to the rest of the school – they were excellent!

Our children always look very smart and  are often  commended when we go on trips and when visitors come in.  It creates a sense of community (togetherness), helps families manage the cost by ensuring they can purchase many items cheaply at supermarkets and other shops, is designed to be comfortable and suitable for the school day, and encourages children to take pride in their appearance  and is part of their personal values of excellence and respect. 

We know it can be difficult as children grow out of items, and we are always happy to help if you need your child to be in a non-uniform item for a few days but we do expect everyone to follow the policy.  Please remember that leggings and jogging bottoms are not school uniform (jogging bottoms and sport leggings may be worn on PE days only). Children should wear grey/dark grey trousers, skirts or pinafores or red summer dresses/shorts. 

Children who continue to wear  the wrong uniform (after being reminded by teachers) will either be given some spare uniform to wear or families called to bring in the correct uniform.   Thank you for your support in this. 

More information can be found on Firs Farm Primary School - Uniform Information.

Celebrating our writers

At Firs Farm we have a continual focus on writing from Reception where they are forming their first words and letters to Year 6 where they are writing extended pieces using a range of literary devices. 

Last week Arthur in 6S wrote an amazing diary entry please showing a range of literary devices, exceptional vocabulary and engaging writing (we really want to know what happens!).

Please see his writig bleow

Our Year 2 children have been studying Agriculture and Arable farming in Geography. Our curriculum ensures they develop key vocabulary and are able to use it in context. They can then use all the skills they learn in English to write some amazing pieces of information texts. Please see some of their writing about their topic.

BOOK WEEK 2026

We've once again had an amazing book week. Children have had the opportunity to share their reading with other year groups, track down the t-read-ors, learn and recite poems and of course dress up as their favourite characters.  All our adults joined in for a glorious parade that really celebrates the joy and power of reading.  

Reception had an excellent week for Book Week! It was filled with lots of exciting activities. We visited our school library, created book marks, read some incredible stories and even dressed up! Our teachers set up an invitation to play based around a fairy tale! Can you spot which stories our tuff trays were based on? It created a lot of mess but it was so fun. We even attended a WHOLE SCHOOL assembly and recited a poem off by heart. It was lots of fun learning about the impact of reading and the benefits of it.

SPARKLE CLASS SPORTING TRIUMPH!

 

Twinkle Class had a very active month with two trips organised by the PE team at Enfield.  We were able to refine and improve lots of ball skills, long jump, aiming and throwing and even took part in a Kurling competition. The children showed all the Firs Farm values and participated enthusiastically and respectfully as well as getting super fit!

FIDGET TOYS

In recent years, Fidget Toys (sometimes called focus aids, sensory toys) have become very popular. They can support some children (particularly those with neurodivergent diagnoses such as ASD and/or ADHD) with focus, anxiety and self-regulation.

If you believe your child needs a fidget toy in class, you should first speak to your child's teacher about why this is, and they will organise how or when your child uses the focus aid (if this has already been discussed or planned with SEND/Teachers, this does not need to be done again)
