Careers Club Trip to Middlesex University
On Wednesday 10th July, Farley's Careers Club took a trip to Middlesex University in North London. During the visit the children took a tour of the extensive campus, witnessed graduation day, carried out a careers assessment questionnaire and had a Q&A session with the university's employability specialists.
This trip was the penultimate event for a group who have worked tremendously hard over the last six months to acquire skills, experience and knowledge about employability and their specific future career aspirations. We, at Farley Junior School, are extremely proud of their efforts and know this just the beginning of their employment journeys.
We wish them every success.

Enabling Enterprise day
On Monday the 4th February all the students participated in a Enabling Enterprise Challenge Day! The day involved the students looking at future environments, researching existing transports and creating a new mode of transport. Each class was divided into teams of 3- 4 and in these teams the students designed and made a prototype for their transport.
The students had the opportunity to develop many skills including: working in a team, sharing their own ideas and listening to others. It was a great day and a lovely event for the students to showcase their creativity and presenting skills.
Representatives from Enabling Enterprise were impressed by the enthusiasm and excitement the students displayed completing the challenge day!

3A Pizza Express Trip
The students of 3A had the fantastic opportunity to participate in pizza making at Pizza Express- Harpenden. They thoroughly enjoyed shaping the dough, spreading the special tomato sauce and sprinkling lots and lots of mozerella cheese on their pizzas. They learnt all about how the chef makes the dough, sauce and how to ensure a pizza is cooked to perfection.
We left the restaurant carrying 30 pizza boxes and some very hungry bellies!
A huge thank you to Pizza Express, Ania and Ellie for this fantastic opportunity!

'Anti-bullying Pro-Kindness,' initiative
On Wednesday 21st February, we launched our 'Anti-bullying Pro-Kindness,' initiative. If pupils in our school see something that worries them, they should always tell an adult because we are a 'Telling' school.
Over the next month, all of our pupils will read the book "The Angel of Nitshill Road," by Anne Fine in their PHSE lessons. The theme of the book is bullying. The main character 'Celeste' encourages children to be kinder and more thoughtful to each other and this is our aim at Farley.
To support children to have the courage to confide in the adults at school, all classes now have a 'chat box'. This is a box that children can use if they need to share information with their teacher.
Over the next few months, our aim is for the school to become a happier and kinder place to be. Every Friday, adults will nominate children who they have noticed being kind and respectful. All of the children that have been nominated will receive a 'Respect' value badge and their name will be published on our Praise Page.
