Lots of smiles at Farlington today as we celebrated World Book Day! Well done to all of our students, from Little Farlington to Sixth Form who made such a big effort dressing up as their favourite characters from their favourite books! 💫

Yesterday’s Wonder Wednesday was all about “Time for a Story”, and what a magical morning it was! We welcomed lots of little ones dressed in their fantastic World Book Day costumes. 🌟 The children loved meeting Laura the Explorer, who brought along her amazing range of animals for everyone to meet. 🐾🦎🐍 We were also joined by Princess Belle, who delighted the children by reading some lovely stories together. 👑📖 It was such a special start to our World Book Day celebrations, filled with imagination, laughter and lots of storytelling magic. ✨ We’re already looking forward to seeing everyone again for our Forest School Fun session on Wednesday, 6th May. 🌳🍃 Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a wonderful morning! 💛 Wonder Wednesdays are Farlington School’s free monthly activity sessions for children aged up to 4 years and their parents/carers.

Ahead of World Book Day on Thursday, our Reception children enjoyed a wonderful Forest School session yesterday, immersing themselves in nature and stories 🙌 After listening to Julia Donaldson's Stick Man, the children were inspired to work together to create their very own Stick Man using fallen branches and other natural materials 🪾 Next, having listened to The Three Little Pigs, the children enthusiastically gathered materials from around the woodland to construct houses just like the pigs did! 🐷 Afterwards, the children found unusual places to read their books. It was lovely to see their excitement as they shared books with friends in special woodland reading nooks 🥰 Well done, Reception – what a brilliant way to enjoy both the great outdoors and the wonder of stories 🌿📚 #iamfarlington #wearefarlington #forestschool #juliadonaldson #stickman #outdoorlearning #readingoutside #worldbookday2026

🌍✨Farlington flies the flag in Antarctica – again!✨🌍 Congratulations to Year 7 students Tallulah and Will whose Antarctica flag design, which they created in their Geography lessons, made an incredible journey to the frozen continent and has now safely returned! Their design reached the stunning Lemaire Channel, often nicknamed the “Kodak Gap” for its breathtaking scenery. 📸❄️ The flag was photographed there by David Goodger, an Electronics Engineer supporting science equipment on board the RRS Sir David Attenborough. Operated by the British Antarctic Survey, the ship has been conducting vital climate, marine and ocean research since 2021 and is built to navigate heavy sea ice while resupplying UK Antarctic stations. For the second year in a row, Farlington has been represented on this remarkable Antarctic mission, what an exciting achievement! 👏🌎 UK Polar Network British Antarctic Survey #wearefarlington #iamfarlington #viveutvivas #TogetherWeCan #rssdavidattenborough #ukpolarnetwork #IndependentSchool #CharacterAwards #PolarExpedition #flagforantarctica #AntarcticaDay

❄️🏅 Mini Winter Olympics at Forest School! 🌲 Year 4 and 5 had so much fun at our 'Forest Mud School Winter Olympics' last week, taking on challenges like the Pine Cone Throw, Tyre Run, and even a Bobsleigh & Skeleton down the water slide!🤩 Not only did they enjoy outdoor fun, but they also showed great teamwork, problem-solving, resilience, and confidence—all while getting active in the fresh air. 🌿💪 Our weekly Forest School sessions for Reception to Year 6 let children learn through play, try new challenges, and grow their friendships in our beautiful outdoor setting. 🏞️✨ We can’t wait to do it all again after half term—maybe with a little less mud! 😄 #FarlingtonSchool #ForestSchool #OutdoorLearning #WinterFun #Teamwork #Confidence #NaturePlay #iamfarlington #viveutvivas #independentschool #lowerschool #middleschool #learningthroughnature #WinterOlympics2026
