Farnborough A Team win Everton F.C. Tournament
Thu 27 Feb 2014The A Team took part in the Everton F.C. Academy Premier League Tournament for Liverpool and Sefton Schools at the Power League in Kirkdale, winning the tournament and now progress to the finals at Finch Farm.
Farnborough's opening match saw them complete a very convincing 10 nil win over Longmoor B, which was quite a feat as the games were only 5 minutes each way! Their second game saw another sound performance with a 4 nil victory over St.Monica's from Bootle. Our third encounter was a closer game, however the team secured another victory, this time 2-1 against New Park. Time for lunch and the team had already qualified for the semi-final!
The team completed their group games with yet another win, this time 2 nil over Our Lady of Good Help. This set up a semi-final against Longmoor and a place in the final with chance to go through to Finch Farm.
The final saw the A Team go behind early on to a free-scoring St Teresa's but yet again the team showed their character and created a 3-1 lead . However the extra game they had played in the qualifying rounds began to take it's toll and the team conceded 2 goals which meant the team now faced the dreaded penalty shoot out! Unlike the England team, Farnborough's players were supremely confident and Alex, Adam, Charlotte and Robbie all scored from the spot and saw Farnborough crowned Everton Champions. The team now play in the finals at Finch Farm.
The semi-final was closely fought match with Longmoor taking the lead. Farnborough changed formation and with only two minutes left in the match, managed to gain an equaliser through Robbie J. The team showed great resolve and continued to press for a winner and with moments to go Robbie struck again to secure a place in the final.
Mr Hanlon and all the parents were incredibly proud of the teams performance and wish them best of luck at Finch Farm.

Mon 17 Feb 2014At the end of November we held a special anti bullying week where children acrosss the school focussed on making sure that we dealt with bullying as well as we possibly could.
By the end of the week we had lots of information that we had made into a unique Farnborough Road Anti Bullying Poster. These have been displayed across the school but we thought that you may like to see it at home too.

Year 3 Football - Southport and Formby Runners-Up
Fri 14 Feb 2014Last night our Year 3 team took part in the Southport and Formby Everton F.C. Academy football tournament. This is the first time we have entered a Year 3 team and they were a real credit to the school. Our opening game saw the team complete a 3 nil victory over Kings Meadow. The second encounter was against Marshside with the team completing a convincing 5 nil victory. Our final league game was against the other unbeaten team in our group Our Lady of Lourdes. In a very hard fought match Kai F managed to score the decisive winner and so send the team in to the final. The final was against Our Lady of Compassion from Formby, who had come through their group also unbeaten. Each game was only five minutes and unfortunately Farnborough conceded an early goal. The team continued to attack and forced several saves from their keeper and a number of crucial blocks by their defenders prevented our team scoring. The boys: Daniel C, Joseph N, Ivo M, Rhys G, Arthur W, Kai F, and Oliver W should all be very proud in the way they represented Farnborough Road and I think they have a great future ahead playing for our school and I look forward to managing them.

Athletics Competitions-Updated
Thu 13 Feb 2014Congratulations to our two athletics teams who have been competing in heats over the past couple of weeks
Our B team came third in their heat at Stanley on Tuesday evening whilst our A team won their heat against Churchtown, OLOL and Norwood on Wednesday.
The A team went forward to the final that was held at Stanley on 12/2/14 and tied with Churchtown in a fantastic display of athletics. Sadly, Churchtown pipped our school to the title as they had won 11 events to our 9. This should not diminish an excellent performance, where all children performed at their very best.
Thanks to everyone for their help with lifts and the great support on both evenings.

500 Words Competition
Wed 12 Feb 2014The children heard all about the Radio 2 '500 words' competition in assembly today and we are encouraging them to enter this national event.
This is a great idea to encouarge children to write. Entries have to be made online, but we would LOVE any copies that have been submitted to be sent into school via email. This will allow us to make a display both in school and on this website.
Once you have entered the event, please email your copy to office@frjs.co.uk so that we can do this.
The presentation that the children saw is below for your reference, as is a link to the website.Presentation to introduce the competition

Come Dine With Me
Fri 07 Feb 2014We have enjoyed welcoming Year 3 parents into school over the past few weeks for a ‘Come Dine With Me’ experience. Parents have eaten with their children in the school canteen and this gives them a great opportunity to try the lovely food that is served in our canteen. The feedback from this initiative has been excellent and we hope to run this again in the future. Both schools agreed that Y3 would be the perfect age group for this idea. The infant furniture is a little too small for adults and Y3 children are delighted to welcome their families into school to show them what we do every day!

A Special Visitor
Fri 07 Feb 2014We welcomed a special visitor to Farnborough Road last Friday. Mr Awad Ibrahim, Headteacher of Alsalam High, Khartoum, Sudan, came to spend the day in our school as part off his partnership with Birkdale High. Mr Ibrahim visited Y6 maths and English, cooked with 3/3, came to Praise Assembly, ate with the children and toured both schools during his visit. We made sure that he left with some presents too. We gave him a school mug, some FRJS pens for his school and most importantly, a Liverpool scarf to wear on his travels! The pictures below show some students at his school. The school uniform makes it look like a military school, but it isn't! School uniform in The Sudan is picked by the government and this one doesn't match a school whose name means 'peace'. It was a great experience to meet Mr Ibrahim and we hope that this will help us build links with this part of Africa in the coming months.

Junior Chef Visit
Fri 07 Feb 2014Junior Chef at Farnborough Road Every child enjoyed the visit of the Junior Chefs Academy last week. Every child in the school had the opportunity to cook and I hope many of you sampled their Fairtrade tiramisu. The roadshow teaches children lots about healthy eating and cookery skills and they also have lots of fun at the same time. Ask your child about some of the things that they found out during their session. Why not check out some of the Junior Chef recipes on their own website at www.juniorchefsacademy.co.uk. A great half term activity on a rainy day!
