Remembrance - Byng House
Tue 06 Nov 2018As part of The Royal British Legion ThankYou100 Campaign for remembrance some of our Year 6 children visited The Royal British Legion's Byng House in Southport. For part of the campaign Byng House has been displaying some of the work completed by children on WW1 from local schools. FRJS had produced some fabulous work. The children got to meet the Mayor of Southport and were able to ask him questions about his role. Well done to the children who went and represented our school.

Evergreen Blossom Academy - Our Twin School
Thu 18 Oct 2018Did you know...
- We have a twin school in Ghana called Evergreen Blossom Academy
- Our Y5 children send and receive work from their pen pals who go to the school
- We have pledged to give 5% of the money collected by the Friends of Farnborough Road to help Evergreen. We believe this is an important message in giving for our children.
The school have just moved into a new site and they are working hard to make it a lovely place for children to go to school. Although the children are now on the new site, they do not yet have working toilets so there is a long way to go.
We have visited the school on two occasions and we have built a long lasting link with our friends at Evergreen.
Enjoy the pictures!

Farnborough Celebrates Talent 2018
Fri 20 Jul 2018Farnborough Celebrates Talent 2018 was an amazing success. 20 acts from across the school performed for children and parents and showed a wonderful range of skills. We had dancers, comedians, singers, guitarists and a wealth of other musicians.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this event happen and congratulations to every child who took part in this event at some point. We are already looking forward to next time!
Your child’s teacher should have sent you a photo of your child performing on the big day via Dojo. If your child took part in finals day and you have not had your photo, please message your child’s teacher.

5/1 3rd Gold Card Reward - Freshfield Trip
Thu 19 Jul 2018When a class all gain a 3rd Gold card they have a school reward of a day off timetable. 5/1 decided on a day out to Freshfield. Parents were invited along with any other members of the family including dogs!
The day started with catching the train from Hillside to Freshfield. Some parents travelled with us, others met us at Freshfield. We walked up to the squirrel reserve and were very lucky to see nearly 10 red squirrels scampering about the pinewoods.
Next the class enjoyed a walk through the woods with den building and a little tree climbing for the more adventurous!
Next stop was the beach - time for lunch - and then playing in the sand or a splash in the nearby water. The dogs were certainly having a good time, especially Milo who managed to finish off several packed lunches and Ebony who spent hours chasing the ball or frisbees.
On our way back to the train station we stopped off for a well deserved ice cream, before climbing back on board the train.
The children, dogs teachers and parents all had a fantastic day and the class were a real credit to Farnborough Road in the way they behaved.

School Games - Gold Award
Wed 27 Jun 2018Last week, FRJS were awarded the Gold Award in the School Games Mark. This is a testament to the sporting activities our school provides, as it celebrates the number of children participating in teams, the number of sporting clubs we run and the amount of children that represent our school in sporting capacities. This year, with the running of clubs in rugby, netball, football, dance, swimming, cross country and many others, it has seen more children than ever participate. Thanks to all the staff that run the clubs to make this possible, but a huge well done to all children that represent our school proudly.
