Chislehurst Rotary Awards

Farringtons students performed brilliantly in the Chislehurst Rotary Awards.

Students this week found out that they had scooped some of the top awards at this year's event for their charitable endeavours during lockdown. The Mayor of Bromley recognised their contributions which encompassed a diverse range of work in the local community, including volunteering, fundraising, working with the homeless, and supporting young people with learning difficulties. We congratulate all students who participated and warmly recognise their selfless actions during this most difficult of years.

This year Tim, Year 8 is participating in the Alan Turing Cryptography Competition again. So far he has successfully solved 5 out of 6 chap-ters. Solving these chapters requires a lot of knowledge about various ciphers. Tim had to read books on cryptography to find out about new ciphers. Soon the final chapter will be released. Hopefully he will man-age to find the correct answer. Good luck, Tim!

Mrs Long’s Weekly Walks

Eye Spy – another plaque – can you walk to this one in Bromley ?

Look who I walked with over half term. Anyone recognise this person ?

These sheep are on our doorstep, in a field just by Hawkwood. Spot the odd one out!

Answers to Mrs Long’s little quiz The single yellow flower is the first sighting of a celandine. The difference is a crocus and a Daffodil waiting to bloom ( still in bud). The snowdrop and its bigger friend is called a Snowflake ( Leu-cojum aestivum). Final photograph - The flower that will grow from the leaves is a cyclamen. They have various colours – can you find any on your walks? Welsh Cakes for St David’s Day

Congratulations to Selin in Year 4 who has raised £305

Covid Testing

Last week I went in to have my COVID test, although it was odd to be back in school after months of being at home, it was really nice to see everyone and I couldn’t wait to be back for good. Seeing my classmates was comforting and although having the test was not very comfortable- having the negative result gave me a lot of reassurance and made me realise just how important having the COVID test really is. George, Year 10

Last week, I went into school for my Covid test. It was strange going back into school after all this time, and I was nervous about having the test done but everyone there was kind and helpful and it was really well organised. The test wasn't as bad as I thought as it was going to be and I'm relieved to have had it done. Priya, Year 10

I was unsure as to what to expect from the Lateral Flow Testing, however, it was a very positive experience and good preparation for return to school. We were supported through the registration process; it was all very straightforward and did instil confidence, along with the wearing of masks for the on-going safety of the school community.
