“MERRY CHRISTMAS FARRINGDON”

Head’s Welcome
Welcome to the Christmas edition of the Farra News 2017. This edition is
yet another action-packed account of life at the best school in the city!!
I have really enjoyed reading this edition as it reminds me what a fantastic

school we have at Farringdon and how caring and hard-working our
students and staff are. We have done so much for other people this term
with 3 fundraising events: Children in Need, Project Gambia & Homeless
charities in Sunderland. It is so important at Christmas to think of other
people who are less fortunate than we are and to have raised nearly
£1,500 for these charities is testimony to the generosity of the families
from our community.
There are currently over 20 of our Y11 students in The Gambia at present
doing great work to support communities and give much needed
equipment to schools and community groups.
Our students have been very busy with some new clubs; Deba ng & Cra clubs have both been popular this
term thanks to the enthusiasm of staff running the clubs in their own me. A endance at Debate club has
been amazing with up to 50 students turning up to debate key issues. Y11 students were also fortunate
enough to be able to a end a Na onal Theatre performance of “Macbeth” at Sunderland College.
We were big supporters of Sunderland’s City of Culture bid for 2021 and were disappointed with the
decision to award the honour to Coventry. It does not, however, diminish the fantas c work that has been
done in preparing the bid, including news team BBC interviews which you can read more about later; we are
very proud of our city.
Finally, this is my last contribu on to the Farra News. I am re ring from teaching at Christmas. I have been
very lucky and very proud to be Head Teacher at our wonderful school. I wish everybody in the school every
success for the future.

Meet the News Team
On this photo is everyone in the News team. They work very hard producing these newsleƩers and do a lot of
wriƟng! Here’s a bit more about them, so you get to know a bit more about the people wriƟng this newsleƩer and
every other one you’ll ever read.
Emily Smith is in Y7. The best present she’s been given is earrings and the best thing she's received is also earrings!!
Chloe Meadows is in Y7. The best present she’s been given is diamond earrings. And received was her smart phone!
Kacey Barker is in Y7. The best present she got was a Pandora bracelet and received was an i-pad.
Zoe Clarke is in Y8. The best present she’s given is a Sparkle giŌ set and received was her first Pandora ring.
Victoria Rooks is in Y8. The best present she’s given was items from Lush and ever got is my Pointe shoes.
Emma EasƟck in Y8. The best present she’s given is a bath set and received is a Wii U.
Amy Storey is in Y9. The best thing given was some cookery books and her best giŌ received was horse riding lessons.
Aeiron Evans is in Y9. The best present he’s given is a PS4 and received is a PS Vita.
Ben Lovstad is in Year 9. The best present he's given was some nice chocolates and the best ever present he's received
was a TV!
Lucy Laughlin from Y10. She thinks that the best present she’s ever got is a Starbucks giŌ set and ever given is a Lush
giŌ set.
Mrs Bird runs the News team, and she thinks the best present she’s ever got was a Disney jewellery box when she was
26—she’s always wanted one as a child. The best giŌ she ever gave was a 1000 piece lego Yoda to her husband—he
loved it!
Miss Hughes’ received—lots of amazing things, but most memorable was probably my first ever computer
a ZX Spectrum in 1982! And given, its probably my sons first ever bike and seeing him learn to ride it!

The Future at Farringdon

Here at Farringdon, there a lots of staff leaving at Christmas but, of course, this means new staff have joined us too.
So far, there have been four to join us here since September. These include Miss Sinclair, Mrs McCruddren, Miss
Appleby and Miss Robson. The subjects they teach are English, Science, PE. Mrs McCrudden is the new deputy
head. Our old head teacher - Mr. Kemp - is leaving. This means we are also ge ng a new head teacher, we’ll inter-
view him in the next issue. We asked the new staff some ques ons about what they did before they came to
Farringdon, These ques ons were:
*What did you do before working at Farringdon?

*What has been your best moment so far?
*What are you looking forward to the most over the Christmas holidays?
Mrs McCrudden:
Before working at Farringdon, I was an Assistant Head teacher in North Tyneside for 15
years. I have been made to feel so welcome by all staff and students (best moments.) 2
weeks with my li le boy over the Christmas holidays will be very magical. He’s only 6
and loves Christmas.
Miss Appleby:
I worked at a high school in Whitley Bay where I taught English and Media Studies to 13-
18 year olds. Having the opportunity to take the whole Y11 to see a special performance
of Macbeth, produced by London’s na onal theatre has been a great moment. Students
+ staff were engrossed we even given the opportunity to ask the actors ques ons. I’m off
abroad to see in the new year so I’m really excited to celebrate in a different country
with a different culture. Also I’m looking forward to ea ng my
bodyweight in cheese and chocolate and including them in
every meal of every day.
Miss Sinclair:
Taught Chemistry at Gateshead school. She loves seeing the students make progress.
What are you looking forward to most about the Christmas hols? Sleep!
Miss Robson:
Before Farringdon, I worked in a small Middle School in Al-
nwick, Northumberland teaching Y6, 7 and 8. I mainly taught
all the PE but also taught some Maths and Computer Science. My best moment so far
has to be mee ng my new form class 7C. As I was a new member of staff and
they were new to the school it has been really good to get to know each
form member and find out their hobbies and interests. I am most looking
forward to shopping for all my Christmas presents, decora ng the
house and visi ng my family for Christmas dinner.

Goodbye...
Unfortunately, this year at Farringdon Community Academy, we have to
say a big goodbye and good luck to all of the amazing staff who are
leaving us. Here they are, beginning with our wonderful head… Mr
Kemp.
Mr Kemp (Head Teacher)
How long have you worked at Farringdon and why are you leaving?
I have worked at Farringdon for 7 years. I am going to re re.
What other jobs did you have before?
I am a “lifer” – I have been in educa on since I was 5 years old! – I have

taught for 32 years. Within educa on I have been a Maths teacher, a
Head of Year, a Head of Maths, Assistant Head and Deputy Head.
What have been some of your best moments?
Going to the Olympic Opening Ceremony in

2012 with 10 students, that was brilliant!! It
was also great to welcome the Grenadian Olym-
pic team to Farringdon. Another one is building
the partnership with Box Youth project and
trips to Gambia which has seen over 100 stu-
dent’s visit the Gambia and we have raised over £150,000. Our students are changing lives.
The interna onal 3 peaks was also great, with 8 members of staff I walked the three
highest peaks in the UK, Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (England) and Snowdon
(Wales) in 24 hours! I have enjoyed seeing staff and students develop and flourish at
our school. It has become a really good place to train and to learn, I am proud of that.
What will you do with your Ɵme when you've leŌ?
I intend to spend more me outdoors playing golf, cycling & walking. I have had a great
career as a teacher and it is me for me to live my life to the full!
Some of our news team wanted to say there own liƩle goodbye:
Chloe— ‘Good luck Mr Kemp and I hope you have a lovely re rement.’
Kacey—’Mr Kemp, I know I didn't know you for long, but you were the best Head Teacher.’
Emily—’I think you’re a great teacher and I’ll be sad when you leave.’
Aeiron—’Good luck and goodbye—wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and have an
excellent life ahead.’

What have been some of your best

moments?
The school trips we used to have every year. Working with pupils to help them achieve the best

and grit spreading to keep the school open for students (was great help to the Caretaking staff as there was only two of
us then.)

When Re red will relax and rest during the winter months, but will Do Gardening and D.I.Y. In
the summer months, and I recently became a Grandfather too.

Goodbye...
Mr Straker
I have worked at Farringdon for nearly 7 years now. I am leaving due to the fact a very ex-
ci ng opportunity came along at a school very close to where I live in Middlesbrough and I
felt it was a great chance for me to progress with my career. I leave Farringdon with some
amazing experiences, friends I’ve made for life and a very heavy heart.
I used to work with Au s c students as a teaching assistant at an all au s c school in Mid-

dlesbrough. I got an opportunity to come here and
work as a TA and I was a TA in the AS Provision for 2
years and I was offered the amazing chance to be-
come a teacher which I couldn’t turn down.
Too many to men on. Community Days in the AS Provision were superb. We did a Val-
en ne’s Day special where we did Blind Date on the a ernoon. I had to wear a lot of
fake tan and play the part of ‘Hugo’ – that was an interes ng day. Winning the league
and cup double with the then Year 8 football team, that was a very special moment.
But, qualifying as a teacher has to be my number one.
I’ll have a bit more spare me as I won’t miss the A19 driving up to Sunderland!! But I
will miss everything else about the school and the people in it.
Mr Embleton
I have worked at Farringdon for 3 years.
What other jobs did you have before? Whilst at university I worked at Morrisons.
My best moment at Farringdon has been seeing mine and Mr Straker's Y8 football team
last year winning the league and county cup.
Leaving Farringdon will be tough to do however I am going on to teach PE and progress

professionally at another school.

Open Evening 2017

In September, there was an open evening for the Y6’s, who will be joining in September 2018. There were many ac vi es
going on and people had to help. I was one of them who helped out in the gym—in the pavilion. There was Art, Maths,
Science, English, the Library and many more ac vi es in the blocks such as in A block (English and Languages) in B block
(History and Science) , C block (Maths, IT and Provision) and in D block (Art, Media and Technology.)
Another thing was, that there were many Physical Educa on things going on— such as football, basketball, trampolining
and the gyms for parents and children to see. This was to help the Y6’s feel more secure, if they came to school in Septem-
ber.
Mrs Bird said she was doing Media, giving informa on in her room. Students had a go at making anima ons and had to try
and film different angles; each student got a cer ficate. Miss Hughes said, “the library was open for parents and children to
have a look at what's going on and what's offered in the library.”
Many people loved the opening. Thanks to all of the staff .

Aiming High
Y10 and 11 students began the
year with a KS4 Conference. The
conference took place at St
Peters Campus, Sunderland
University back in September.
We try to work closely with both
the college and the university,
especially in the final years to
encourage students to aim for
the top.
The conference aimed to prepare students with the informa on they need to make this year successful, for example, they
were presented with informa on on: how to study and revise; key dates they will need to know and how to maximise their
achievement. Students heard messages from key members of staff and inspira onal guest speakers. The students also toured
the University campus, spoke with University Student Ambassadors and completed several ‘technical challenges.’
Student and staff feedback was posi ve. The school has developed a strong working rela onship with the University with
the KS4 Conference marking the 1st of this year’s events with others to follow—a key priority is to help Y10 and 11 develop
independent learning skills and achieve exactly what they are capable of.

The Star Awards

StarƟng this term rewards have been given out to ‘star students’ , every year Howard Kemp (head teacher) ask every
teacher picks five people who have did excepƟonally well in their subject. The five awards are given for, outstanding con-
tribuƟon to the department, best homework, great progress, most improved behaviour, top aƩendance. If you got one
you and your parents should be proud, and we know you will be. If you didn't then don't worry, you could win one next
term as Mr Kemp says “This could be you.” so we advise you to work as hard as you can and you have a chance.

The BBC Experience
In November the GCSE Media students had the opportunity to go to BBC Newcastle for a tour. This was done as part of their
Media course learning about ins tu ons and also, as they have studied BBC Radio 4 soap ‘The Archers’ having a go at making
their own drama.
The tour involved looking at some of the history of the BBC. Did you know the building was once called the ‘Pink palace’ be-
cause of its colour, but is now a more weather-beaten faded tone? Or that Ant was famous before Dec as he also starred in
1980’s kids TV favourite ‘Why Don’t You?’
Students then got to look at how material is archived from video tapes of the past to digital now, they also saw the weather
and traffic repor ng studio, which was unexpectedly ny; and they also had a go at repor ng in front of the Green Screen.
The news studio was next and it was weird si ng in the very place you see on TV most days – we found out that Colin Briggs
pre y much runs the Breakfast news pre y much single handed with just support from the gallery where cameras are changed
and ligh ng and sound coordinated.
We saw the BBC Radio studios and waved at reporters before moving into the final ‘performance room’ where there were lots
of props to see from ‘The Dumping Ground’ much of which was filmed at BBC Newcastle.
So, to the final show. The group worked a team, some reading from the script; some as news reporters or giving ‘links’; some
crea ng sound effects or opera ng the sound board to create a radio drama. A er our study of ‘The Archers’ it was great to
get some hands on experience having a go. The students and staff had a great me.

BBC News Reporters

Hannah Quinn, from BBC Radio Stoke, visited us to ask some of our students ‘why do they think where they live should be the
UK City of Culture 2021?’ Hannah was producing the ‘Grand Tour’ Sunderland Video and we were chosen as the school from
Sunderland to discuss the Capital of Culture 2021 bid. The students talked about how there are lots of cultural things going on
in Sunderland; a history seeped in industry that is a part of nearly every home; there’s so much to do and see and make and
get involved in. Find out what they said on our video which can be found on our school twi er feed @faraschool and on BBC
social media.
Our News Team were also invited to meet the BBC staff on the tour, answer some cultural ques ons ‘live on air’ and check
out the tour bus. We had a brilliant me and it was an absolute privilege to represent young people from our City. The day
before the North was ba ered with strong winds and heavy rain so the sun was a welcome visitor for our trip to meet Alfie,
Joey and Anna Foster from Radio Newcastle as well as John Acres and Liz Ellis from Radio Stoke on the Grand Culture Tour.
Our Head Teacher Mr Kemp, who accompanied us on the trip, said, “Sunderland is a city with aspira ons for its young people;
it is a city which values and supports the Arts. The value of becoming City of Culture is immeasurable in terms of impact on
the future of the city. If successful this would regenerate Sunderland and return it to prominence again. New industries, a
bright future and new op mism would doubtless benefit thousands of young people across the city and the region. A vote for
Sunderland is a vote for confidence in the North east’. We vote for Sunderland (even though we now know Coventry won!)

Charity Days
Children in Need
Children In Need is a charity who supports young

children that have difficult living. Recently, Far-
ringdon, raised money for children in need by
doing a non-uniform day. The whole school
dressed in their own clothes and were asked to
donate £1.00 for charity. Teachers also had a bak-
ing compe on. See more on the ‘Children In
Need’ page.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Macmillan Cancer support is

a charity that supports peo-
ple with cancer, as well as
their families. Back in Sep-
tember, our teachers hosted
a big coffee morning to raise
money for the charity which
has so far raised over £21
million. We raised £190—not
bad just from a cake sale!
Alzheimer’s Walk
Recently, many people par cipated in an event for the

Alzheimer’s Society. The event took place in South
Shields. This was a hard task for many as you had to
walk a very long distance. Fortunately, people were
determined to accomplish the walk for charity. Some
of the teachers at Farringdon Community Academy
par cipated in this event for personal reasons of their
own and donated the money they raised (£300) to
the charity. The teachers pictured, who took part
were Mrs Urch and Miss Newsome. We are so
lucky as a school to have so many people join in
with this event as well as the other chari es they
have helped in the past.

Children’s Heart Unit Foundation

Mr Roberts and a Farringdon support friend, Ivan, in his challenges
over the past few years, raising money for CHUF (Children’s Heart
Unit FoundaƟon.) Ivan’s son received a life changing transplant and
the friends wanted to support the unit’s future work. This year’s
challenge, cycling and running from Trafalgar square in London, to
the Freeman in Newcastle was to be his last, with the target of
raising £500,000 being reached. Ivan, supported by a fantasƟc team
(including Mr R) embarked on a 270 mile cycle and 52 mile run. This
was undoubtedly the most physically and mentally demanding chal-
lenge they have aƩempted, with Ivan and the team pushing well be-
yond the limits of human endurance.

Children in Need
Most schools across the country marked ‘Children in Need’ part was mel ng the chocolate and s cking the Malteser's to

The Box Youth Project

The Box Youth Project is a youth club down at Hall Farm. They offers many different opportuni es for young people. A lot of
what The Box does, is helping out in the community but its not just here, its also in the Gambia, where they rebuild things and
make a real difference—see below. There are many different age groups at different mes on
different days. When The Box is helping out in the community, they do things like bag packs and
table top sales and the money they earn from it will either go to things like Gambia funds or mon-
ey for trips to places like Gravity Force.
Gambia
In Gambia students help out in the village by building and pain ng the schools to help improve the educa on facili es for the
children of Gambia. During your two weeks In Gambia, you will not only build and paint the school, you will also help out on
the farm. To go to Gambia, you will have to raise money. The total amount you need for Gambia is £1450. At the me of
wri ng this newsle er we have a group of 20 students there—5 members of the news team included— so far they have been
transforming the ‘sick bay’ at the Gambian College and pain ng classrooms/ playground at Kulkochi nursery. See pictures be-
low, their first full group one at the bo om; pictured wai ng at the airport and in the ‘sick bay’. I’m sure they’ll tell us lots
more on their return.

Yr. 7 Drama Experience
Recently, we have organised for students at Farringdon to have a fantas c opportunity to see a performance about Ada
Lovelace, the woman who wrote the world’s first complex algorithm in 1843. She was then erased from history like she was
never there. It was a one woman show, in which a very talented actress used a great LED dress to tell her story. There were
also a few prac cal elements thrown in as well, where students got involved. The students were inspired by her story and was
inspired to take and study computer science. This event was organised by the Sunderland City Libraries and was offered to our
school; we snapped up the chance to promote STEAM here within the Farringdon Community Academy.
I asked one of my fellow Y7s what they thought of the visit and here is what they said;
“She was an amazing actress who spoke in a posh manner. It was a very good show about Ada Lovelace and she had an amaz-
ing dress that lit up in outstanding colours when she talked” – Lewis Cowdell (yr7)

Farringdon Is Our Community… Look After It!
(Because its litter-ally shocking!)
Recently, there have been sev-
eral students who have been
dropping li er before, be-
tween and a er the school
day. It needs to stop! We have
had numerous complaints
about li er being dropped,
thrown around and shockingly,
just plainly ignored. Not only
does it make the area look
bad… but it damages it. We especially receive feedback from the community about Y10 and Y11 over lunch—the local busi-
ness owners don’t deserve for their shops to be disrespected where there are clearly bins to put the li er in. Think about
how you would feel if it was your parents or one of your family running the business; think about if this li er was outside
your house—it wouldn’t feel good.
In Farringdon, there are over

100 bins available for use
they’re not just si ng there for
the good of it! Dropping li er
has a large scale side effect. To
begin with, like we said earlier,
it damages the environment,
which in most cases, makes life
more difficult. It also wastes
me for people who, the majori-
ty of me, wouldn't necessarily
like to have to clean it up and could focus on more important jobs.
Public’s Response: (What should happen…)

I’ve lived at Farringdon my
whole life, and I’m beginning to
think that the students are
geƫng worse!
Well, its not just me!
Everyone else does it too!
I say that if everyone just takes

responsibility for their own
selves and puts what they have
in the bin then that would stop
liƩer in the area. Okay… Sounds like a plan! Come on students of Far-
ringdon—we have faith in you!

The Fantastic Anti-Bulling Event
My favourite part of being in Farringdon is when I went to the an bulling event because I am on student voice. I loved the
an bulling event. We watched a lot of different videos and the first YouTube videos that came up was Charlie Bite my Fin-
ger. A er we watched about 8 funny video which made people laugh we went off into three groups and the first thing I did
was talking about young carers and how they felt. One thing Is that young carers shouldn't have to do it all alone and they
should be able to ask people for help .
A er 15 minute we moved into our second group, which was taking

about what we watched in the YouTube clip and I said the next step,
slime videos and songs. Also, some people did a video blog, which
was fun to watch and this it what they had to say about what they
had done so far. The last group was talking about young carers and
how they feel about doing what they do. We had to write something
about what we think about how they feel and I suggested they may
feel depressed or some mes gloomy.
We at Farringdon stand against bulling so its very important that they

run these training courses. It was an honour to be involved in my first
term at Farringdon's stop bulling event. It is a really important event
and we want to stop bulling from happening.
Christmas Maths Lecture

On the 13th of December, 16 students from Y10 went to Middlesbrough to a end a Maths lecture at Teesside University along
with many other students from schools across the North East. The lecture was aimed at students who have chosen to take fur-
ther maths as an addi onal subject at GCSE, and was part of the Further Maths Support Program which organises a range of
events for students including mathema cs enrichment events, compe ons and conferences. Two speakers, Ben Sparks and
Dr Emily Grossman, presented lectures about the sort of maths that you don’t get taught for GCSE, but is very intriguing and
helpful if you chose to do maths in the future. Ben, the first speaker, did a talk on the crea on of numbers, including many phil-
osophical ques ons for us to discuss, such as whether numbers were created by people, or were already there and were dis-
covered. The talk also had many humorous elements, as we were taught about the people who discovered numbers, and how
Hippasus (a Pythagorean Philosopher) was drowned
when he challenged the concept that there were
only ra onal numbers. Dr Emily Grossman spoke to
us about her career as a Science communicator and
broadcaster, then showed us her three most embar-
rassing moments in her career, to teach us how im-
proper sta s cs can be used in newspapers
to exaggerate a story and get a be er
headline. All of the students really
enjoyed the experience, and got to
see a side of maths that they don’t
usually see in the classroom.

Article by Joseph Palacz
Hi my name is Joseph. I am 16 years old and was a former student at Farringdon. A er leaving Farra, I decided to do
A-Levels in English Language, History and Geography at Sunderland College, Bede campus. It seemed daun ng at
first (giving in mind you have exams to do as well). However, I remembered my posi ve memories at Farringdon and
so applied to do my work experience here.
My placement commenced in June, amidst the final few weeks of the school year. Upon return-
ing, I saw several familiar , friendly faces again (especially in the au sm spectrum provision).
Whilst at Farringdon, I helped to par cipate in lessons, assis ng both teachers staff and students
in comple ng required tasks. I also helped out in the library, ge ng to grips with scanning and
cataloguing books, as well as communica ng with staff and pupils alike.
There was a lot to do for a young person like me, but I had a great me interac ng with fellow
colleagues and pupils once again, all in the space of three days and 15
hours. Returning to Farringdon for my work placement was enjoyable, fun
and amazing I am so pleased to have returned!

I le Farringdon 2 years ago. I have kept in touch, you may remember I did the ‘Shake it Off’ video
which was great fun! I chose to do a work experience in Media and helped Mrs Bird with Y10s hor-
ror trailers, we also did a li le project to make a promo on video to show on opening evening. I
helped but let them lead. I'm now in my final year of St Roberts 6th form and want to keep on
working in Media but also go into being a counsellor.
Building My Skills
Every Monday, in our PSHE lesson, the Y10 students have been partaking in the Building My Skills program, to help them
gain skill for things in the future such as job interviews, applica ons and planning out what steps we need to take to get a
job in the career we want. Every 3 weeks a professional from a business comes in to talk to us about their job and what it
consists of, and then we are given a task to complete over the next few weeks. Over me we will have a collec on of mul-
ple tasks that have been completed, and in the end the people who have put the most work in will get the opportunity
to do a mock interview, which will prepare them for doing real ones in the future.
Nissan Trip
On the 9th of November, a group of triple Science students from Y10 went to Nissan to learn more about the
engineering business. The visit consisted of many team building and science ac vi es alongside other schools
from the North East, as well as a factory tour of produc on line 1. The students got to see a part of the
factory that few people get the opportunity to see, and it was a fun and interes ng trip that was enjoyed
by all that went.

Amazing Dan Smith
On Thursday 16th November a popular author, Dan Smith, came to our school, Farringdon Community Academy and was
talking about his life and his books. Miss Hughes, our Librarian, organised Dan Smith to come into school to celebrate
Northern Children’s Book FesƟval. This was in the school main hall for all of Y7. Dan has been into school on other occa-
sions and he is very popular with our students.
Miss Hughes said, ”Dan created a real buzz around school, he really inspired our students. It was a total pleasure to wel-
come Dan Smith back to Farringdon.”
The favourite book he has wriƩen for our students is Boy X , it’s a true story from when he lived in the jungle and he just
made it more fun for people to read. Also he answered loads of quesƟons that boys and girls were asking. At the very end
he was selling books and signing his autograph in them and on the post cards. Loads of people took selfies with him on
their phones too. What a lovely man and what a great author!

Free books for all of Year 7

Our Librarian, Miss Hughes, reported that reading is one of our highest prioriƟes at Farringdon so she decided to invest in
Book Buzz . The aim is to inspire people to read and its definitely done that. Every student gets to choose a book that they
get to keep forever and they arrived just before Christmas—good Ɵming.
Danielle Kenny chose ‘Superstar Geek.’ She was confused how a geek could become a superstar and wanted to find out how
she tries her best to do things even though she's really geeky.
Davison Thrilling chose the book ‘Wonder ‘because there was a capƟon saying, “You can’t blend in, when you where born to
stand out.” That caught his aƩenƟon.
Amelia Taylor chose ‘Murder In The Midwinter’ because when she read the first page, it sounded interesƟng.
Scarlet Power chose ‘Scream’ because the front cover looked interesƟng and it had a mummy on the front. She likes
mummies.
Jack Foster picked ‘Girl on a Plane’ because he likes planes. The front cover looks interesƟng and he flies a lot.
Mason Agar also picked ‘Girl on a Plane’ because it sounds like something he can imagine that will happen in real life
Sophie Johnson picked ‘Boundless’ because the pictures and the blurb look interesƟng.


Receiving free books—part 2
The second day news team were in the library there was another group receiving their free books. We got some more pho-
tos. Leah Guy choose ‘Murder in the Winter’ because it sounds like a mystery and makes here think there is going to be a
snowy murder or she might lose the dog and then she might get murdered herself then.
‘READING—IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT’

ASP NEWS!!!!!
COMING UP IN THE ASP:
On the 19th of December, there is a trip to the Bridges and an opportunity

to go ice skaƟng. There is over 50 people aƩending this trip and the aim is
to make them feel more independent. They will be making their way there
on the bus to the town and then they will go shopping and ice skaƟng and
then they always go to McDonalds for dinner of course.
Then on the 20th of December, they will have a fantasƟc Christmas fair. Families and friends of the children and also teach-
ers from the mainstream school are invited, the aim of this is for the parents to meet the children's teachers and see how
their children are doing. There will be tombola, guess how many candy canes are in the jar and snacks will be served.
On the 21st of December they are going to go to gravity force . There are 51 students
aƩending. For an hour they get to bounce around and have fun whilst under the watch-
ful eyes of their teachers if they're not bouncing around too!!
Great Garden
Over the past four years , the provision have been saving up to buy a sensory garden for the children. All the money has
been raised by the provision from parents . All though some of things such as green house which was given to them by the
children's foundaƟon it is all the provisions work.

Debate Club Re-Launch
This year two English teachers, Mrs Newsome and Mrs Whiƫngton, have relaunched the debate club. Ever since they men-
Ɵoned it they have had a huge response, as at the first debate they had 41 people and at the second on e they had 37 peo-
ple. As you can see they were very popular, so maybe you should go? At the first debate they debated that parents should
only spend £50 on each child ate Christmas (what do you think?), at the second debate they debated that parents should set
a Ɵme limit on electronic devices (do you think they should?) Mrs Newsome and Mrs Whiƫngton also organise trips and par-
Ɵes for the debate team. In fact there is one coming up on Tuesday 19th December. If you want some fun why don't you
come.
Macbeth Trip
In November, all of the Y11 students and a group of Y10 students had the opportunity to go and see a performance of Mac-
beth. The show took place at Bede College, and was a way for the students studying Macbeth as part of their GCSE English
course to gain more knowledge of the play by actually seeing it on stage. The show was followed by a Q&A, where students
got to ask the performers about the play and about acƟng in general. The show was incredible and all of the students were
clearly impressed by how good it was.

Getting the most out of school
This year at Farringdon there are new policies of behaviour. As of the start of term, Farringdon has became stricter with how
badly behaving students are handled. This goes as far as not being able to aƩend party and even prom. This has been put in
place to reward the students with good behaviour to recognise what they always do—why should you get the rewards if you
don’t?
As part of this, at the end of the year, if Y11 have more behav-
iour points than praise points, then they won’t be allowed to
go to prom, they must get 5 praise points for every 1 behav-
iour. Not to menƟon, poor behaviour from a few Y8 student
results in them losing their chance to go to the Christmas par-
ty. As Mr Waller said, ‘Why should bad student be rewarded as
well as good students.’. As well, at the end of the year, every-
one's’ praise will be added up and turned in a total in pounds
and pence. Then this will be deducted from the price of a cine-
ma trip, so its worth collecƟng achievement points.
Not forgeƫng, the five most important rules. To help student Everyone should also become equipped as well

Media Champions at SoL

On Wednesday 13th December, the Y10 Media group competed against four other schools to give ideas on how
Sunderland could bring in more fans. The research showed that Sunderland season cket holders and fans at games are
predominantly white males in a certain age range. The groups chose different groups as their focus and presented to the
judges on how they though they could get them into the stadium, they chose:
 Encouraging lower income families to a end
 Encouraging people of different ethnici es to a end
 Encouraging families in general
 Encouraging people with au sm to a end
Although they didn't win they came second and two of our groups came joint third. The students had a tour of the
grounds and a lovely lunch. They may also get the chance to get to see a game very soon. We are very proud of them.

Media Trip

Fantastic Performers!
GenFactor Winner Tahnee Kelly!
Farringdon student, Tahnee Kelly definitely has the GenFactor. Y10 student, Tahnee competed in this year’s Gentoo finals on
Weds 6th December where she came out on top and won first prize with her rendiƟon of ‘Rise Up’ by Andra Day. This comes
on top of her also winning a ‘Highly Commended’ award at last year’s Sunderland Young Achievers Awards where she was
nominated by her performing arts teacher, Mr Fearon. Tahnee competed in GenFactor in the previous year; she came third
but with her second go – 1st place was secured. Tahnee told us that she can’t put into words what it means to win the compe-
ƟƟon as it was really tough but she described her experience as ‘amazing’. Mr Fearon commented that right from Y8 when
she was cast as Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ he knew she was going to make it big. So what next Tahnee? You’ve taken Sun-
derland – maybe The West End or Broadway next?
Students Carolling In Care Home

In the last week of term, a group of Y10 GCSE Drama stu-
dents are going to Archers Court care home to sing a range
of Christmas songs as solos and as a group for the residents.
As well as songs, there will be readings of fesƟve stories by
the students to get everyone into the Christmas spirit.

Mill Hill News

Annually, the primary schools that are local to Farringdon Community Academy came to
visit to tell us their own Christmas news, and here’s what Mill Hill had to say.
THE SCHOOL COUNCIL’S GOAL

NEW IMPROVED EQUIPMENT
Recently, Mill Hill Primary School’s school councillors have been working on making new equipment for the infant’s
school yard, as we have saved up a budget of £2,000. The councillors are deciding which equipment to obtain.
Although the budget is £2,000, they are allowed to go 10% of £2,000 (£200) over the budget.
IDEAS
These are ideas of what a group decided to use: a mini balance beam; 6 rubber stepping logs; a twist net and an
inclined balance beam. I cannot remember the other items or what a few of the items cost are. This group would be
spending £2,030, which is only £30 over the £2,000 budget, and having £170 le un l they cannot spend any more.
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING
In the mee ngs, the councillors and teachers have been discussing if all the equipment would fit, if it would
be safe for the young students, if they could reach the handles or other parts of the equipment for urgent
safety and if the quality was good enough.
By Amelie Sophine Boal –Wallace

Safety
Works
On Wednesday 8th November, Mill Hill Primary
School, Year 6 went to Safety Works in Newcas-
tle. Safety Works is a selec on of ac vi es that
helps you stay safe in a dangerous or life threat-
ening situa ons. We found out lots of new in-
forma on that will come in useful in the future.
Shop Lifting
Our first ac vity was a the in Sainsbury’s. We
played a game and I was a policewoman; Emily
was the shop li er and Sharvin was the cashier.
The real police officer was giving my en re
group informa on on what their job is and what
they do on the job. I was patrolling outside
when suddenly Emily snatched the bag of
marshmallows and dashed for the door. Thank-
fully, I was there to stop her and I arrested her. I
took her to the cell then the police officer spoke
to us about what evidence you might need and
what you need to do. A er that, we travelled to
our next ac vity.
The Kitchen
In the kitchen, we had to spot all of the hazards,
like alcohol, tablets, an iron that was s ll on, a
boiled ke le, toys all over the floor, pots and
pans with the handles all facing outwards. Also
the baby wasn’t secure in the high chair! Unfor-
tunately, Thomas fell and hit his head, which
caused him to become unconscious!

Educational
Trip To
Beamish
Recently, Y6 pupils in Mill Hill Primary
School visited Beamish. On Wednesday
18th October we went to Beamish to
learn what it was like in WW2. We did
different ac vi es to see which one
was the most difficult to deal with. Miss
Moore’s class did the home-guard and
Mr Hair’s class (my class) did the carrot
cookie making. I think that Beamish is
very educa onal and there’s lots of fun
ac vi es to do.
Farm Activity
When we went to the Farm we found
out what an Anderson Shelter looked
like and how people used it. We also
found out what they ate when food
was ra oned. They ate lots of farm
animals but they also used to sell other
animals, e.g., pigs, cows and chickens.
They sold these illegally at the Black
Market!
Sweet Shop
At the sweet shop there were a lot of
choices of sweets to get, including:
rosie apples, sherbet lemons, white
mice and bonbons. There were lots
more to choose from but they were
only a few of them. They also had the
old prices on so we could understand
what the money was like in the me of
the second World War.

Final Christmas story

The Village That Was ForgoƩen
Long ago, one week before Christmas, Santa was working extra hard to try and get all the presents
wrapped and gently placed in the sleigh. While all the elves were working hard, Santa was si ng in
his office reading the last le er that said:
Dear Santa,
For Christmas I don’t want anything except from a medium size teddy bear that I can give to my sis-
ter. That is all I would like. Thank you from, Lillian
A er Santa had read that le er he said to himself that that was his goal, he was going to deliver that teddy for Lillian
whether it was first or last. He was determined. That night Mr. Clause told his wife-Mrs. Claus- about Lillian and her
toy. She thought that it was very sweet. The next morning everyone was up early and ge ng start-
ed on making the best teddy for Lillian. Mr. Claus set up a compe on to see who could make the
best teddy and that toy would be given to Lillian. One hour later, all of the toys were finished and
looking exquisite. Santa had picked a perfect teddy and took it to his sleigh. He got in the sleigh and
started it up but it didn’t work… By Elise Goodall

Primary News: East Herrington
EHPA joined us on our news day to

update us on what’s been going on
since September ...
Choir - Care in the Community
Our caring choir at East Herrington have been out and about bringing Christmas cheer this fes ve season. Just last week,
we were invited to sing at the pres gious Sunderland Minster in town. This was to support Age Concern. The Minster
was packed to the ra ers as we sung Christmas carols, which included, ‘Carol of the Bells’ and ‘Jolly old St. Nicholas.’ Our
beau ful voices rang out and echoed through the Church as the audience listened intently, o en with tears in their eyes.
We were aware that for some lonely elderly folk, this may be the only gi that they receive this Christmas- me. ‘Flying
Free’ isn’t a carol but we chose to sing this as it always puts tears into people’s eyes.
Mrs Hair, our choir teacher, was delighted when a passer-by from the audience commented on how excellent and beau -
fully we all sung. Mrs Hair quoted, “Well done to all of you!” We need to thank Mr Brown, our
amazing pianist, who never lets us down and follows us everywhere we go to perform with us.
Without his marvellous experience and also that of the wonderful Mrs Hair, we would not be
given these opportuni es to grow and develop in our musical ability and at the same me bring-
ing a li le joy into folks’ lives. By Lucas Hall
Wonderful War Horse
So far in Y5 we have been learning about War Horse. This is a story by the bril-
liant and exci ng author, Michael Morpurgo. He has wrote many stories but we
decided to choose this one. This has been our main topic this year and we have
wri en stories by Albert’s perspec ve. The story is wri en by Joey’s point of
view and we experience what life was like for a young horse and what they
would do. This also showed us what the soldiers had to do during the First World
War. Many people enjoyed this work but Mrs Hair (my teacher) thought it was
amazing. It was unbelievable what poor men and horses had to do on both
sides.
In our story we had to use certain types of language to make it effec ve and in-
teres ng using fantas c vocabulary. This story took an average of two and a half
pages but it was focused on the main points in detail. We only used the evidence
from the text and use feelings about how the character felt. Our class
had read up to chapter in five the story and wri en up from what we
had learnt. I loved it! I thought it was one of the best stories I had
ever wri en. If you want to learn about this subject I wouldn’t say
no. By Alex Neary

Frighƞul First World War
In Y5 at East Herrington Primary Academy, we have been learning about world

war one. We were lucky enough to have some visitors from Durham Oriental Mu-
seum. They were called Paddy and Emily. In the morning Paddy told us about how it started and what you would need
to keep alive in the trenches, a long hole dug in the ground that the soldiers have to live in and fight from, this was a
great experience.
In the a ernoon Emily taught us about dada poetry. In the war there were some ar sts who did not want to fight in the
war these were the dadas. Dada poetry is where you get words put them in a bag jumble them up then pick some out.
We did something a bit different though we got poems about the war cut words out and made our poem but our po-
ems made sense. My poem said “She is looking for amazement to fill her growing filled heart”.
This was a great experience. My friend Jessica said “We learnt a lot in this one day and it was really fun. During this
day we had an amazing me and I will never forget it. By Isabella Petrie
Budding Bookworms
In Y5, as you’ve already seen we have been studying a book called War Horse which is set in World War One and es in
with our subject topic this term. War Horse is wri en by Michael Morpurgo. It is a story wri en in Joey’s perspec ve.
Recently, we have been reading the chapters 15 and 16 which are chapters towards the end of the book.
We have been told by our teachers to write what we thought would be a good ending for this story. This is meant to be
at least two pages long and most of us have wri en a page or a page and a half. In this story ending, Joey (the main
character) has to either live or die. A lot of us have made it a sad ending but some of us have made it a happy ending.
An opener from my opening paragraph is “Standing in the lonely, horrible heart of no man’s land.
A quote from Isabella is “The ending is quite sad because a lot of his friends die.” A quote from Beki is “It is very emo-
onal but is a good book.” A lot of us thought it was a sad, happy and good book. So lots of mixed feelings and emo-
ons amongst us. We are looking forward to reading everyone’s finished product. By Jessica Hibberd

ExciƟng Experiments
In science we have been learning about separa ng solids and liquids. We had a task of separa ng different materi-
als. The materials were: water and sand, water and salt, flour and raisins and finally rice and paper clips. We separat-
ed them using: heat, filtra on, magnets and sieving. We use the methods on the pair
we thought would work with it. In the end the pair we thought went with what meth-
od worked.
My favourite part was when we used heat to separate salt and water. Unexpectedly,
our minds were blown away when we saw the water evaporate. Alex said, “I couldn’t
believe that the water evaporated and the salt is le in the bo om of the pan!” I my-
self, thought, “Wow, how can this be possible?” So well done to Mrs Hair, our teach-
er, who proved us all wrong because we honestly thought the salt was going to evap-
orate. Science is wonderful, as it teaches us something new every day.

Superb Swimmers
To end a brilliant term of swimming, our swimming team, that meet very early every Wednesday morning arranged
a sponsored swimmathon for project Gambia . This is to raise money for some of the Y11 Students at Farringdon
Community Academy who are travelling to Gambia in October 2018. We had to swim for an hour non-stop – it was
extremely exhaus ng and we were all completely sha ered by the end of it. We swam backwards and forwards do-
ing tag team . I thought it was very fun but my friend Isabella quoted, “I have found it very ring but it is all for a
good course.” We swam 9,800 meters of the pool altogether and raised over £600 in total. This all took place at your
very school here at Farringdon Community Academy.
The swimmers get assessed every year, from year 4 to year 6 to see what their swimming ability is like. However, if
there are pupils who are s ll unable to swim they get to come on a Friday a ernoon with Mrs Fannen to have les-
sons from Mr Peart. The very nervous ones start off by just
doing simple things such as, splashing your head whilst
holding the metal bar at all mes . I think swimming is

fabulous Christmas stories … what a
great job they did!
Miss Clause catastrophe
Miss Clause owned a sweetshop – called Clauses shop –it was very popular. It was that popular that it ran out of sweets.
They now had a huge dilemma!!!! They couldn’t afford to buy any sweets as they needed money to buy Christmas pre-
sents. One day a boy called Friedrich came into the shop and he is mad for sweets. There were no sweets so Friedrich
went to Miss Clause and threatened to call the council to get them closed down if they did not have any sweets by Christ-
mas Eve. This means Miss Clause would be homeless so she persuaded Friedrich to go on an
adventure for sweets. So he agreed to go on an adventure with her for sweets. Santa bought
them lots of sweets and a new sweet shop they had a life supply of sweets . They became rich
and Friedrich came and lived with Miss Clause . There new sweet shop was a world sensa on.

Earlier that night an evil and mischievous candy cane had snuck out of candy prison. He
was a ny stripy red and white man which was in prison for burglary of precious sweets.
The candy cops had been searching for him all week! He had hid from them and took
cover from the rest of the city to make an evil scheme. He took hostage with chocolate
banana.
It was only un l Christmas eve he had shown sight. On that day he had to destroy

Christmas around the world

Most people in Spain go to Midnight Mass or 'La Misa Del
Gallo' (The Mass of the Rooster). It is called this because a Spain
rooster is supposed to have crowed the night that Jesus was
born. Most families eat their main Christmas meal on
Christmas Eve before the service. The traditional Spanish
Christmas dinner is 'Pavo Trufado de Navidad' which is
turkey stuffed with truffles (mushrooms!)
After the midnight service, people walk through the streets

carrying torches, playing guitars and beating on tambou-
rines and drums. One Spanish saying is 'Esta noche es Noche
-Buena, Y no Es noche de dormir' which means 'Tonight is
the good night and it is not meant for sleeping!' In Spanish
Happy/Merry Christmas is 'Feliz Navidad'.
During Christmas, it is Australia's summer holiday. Although

most traditions are the same, they believe that Christmas
lights are a competition. Children believe that Santa gives the
reindeer a break and picks up 6 kangaroos while passing over
the continent. He also ditches his clothing for some cooler
garments. To celebrate Christmas, many ‘Carols by
Candlelight’ festivals are held in all of the biggest states, and
Australia in smaller community groups. In these, famous singers per-
form in the spirit of Christmas. Also, a plant native to Austral-
ia is put as a decoration on doors. It is a green plant sprouting
cream flowers. In the week of Christmas, the flowers go red
and look beautifully festive.
Although Christmas has only been celebrated in Japan for the

last few decades, things like presents and card exchanging still
happen. It isn't a religious celebration, but just a way to
spread happiness. Christmas Eve is more celebrated than the
day, because Christmas Eve is for romance. The main thing to
eat on the day is fried chicken, with a strawberry sponge cake
for afters. In Japanese Happy/Merry Christmas is 'Meri Ku-
risumasu'. And it's written in the two Japanese scripts like this;
Hiragana: めりーくりすます;Katakana: メリークリスマ

by the Schools Games Organisation and Amy,
as the regional winner, attended a celebration
lunch in Telford back in November. Although
she didn’t win the overall national award she
has made a massive difference to attitudes and
