FARMHOUSE BREAKFAST WEEK AT THE STUDY CENTRE
Farmhouse Breakfast Week
On Wednesday 23 January, the Women's Farming Union (WFU) spent the day in the Study Centre promoting the Home Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA) Farmhouse Breakfast Week.
The centre was transformed for the day as the WFU set up an interactive display including posters and items for the children to look at and touch relating to a variety of areas of farming.
A number of children from Upton Meadows, Lyncrest and St Luke's Primary Schools joined us in the centre at various times during the course of the day. The children were treated to bacon rolls, apple juice, locally grown apples and a 'farming in the classroom' session on British farming delivered by the WFU.
The 'farming in the classroom' session was fun and informative for the children drawing on their own experiences and increasing their awareness of British farming and healthy eating.
Great fun was had by all and the children left the centre buzzing with excitement and their new found knowledge of the countryside.
A big thank you must go to the WFU for giving up their day to work with our local schools and share their knowledge and experience with the children.
Playing for Success
The new Playing for Success term has started in the Cobblers Study Centre. We are very pleased to welcome children from Kingsheath, Kingsthorpe Village, Kingsthorpe Grove, Whitehills, Good Shepherd, All Saints, Sunnyside and Greenoaks Primary Schools.
We are also pleased to have a number of students from Kingsthorpe College visiting the centre on Monday afternoons.
The children will spend the next 10 weeks attending the centre on specific days to take part in a variety of activities in and around the study centre and stadium.
During the last week, the children have spent time introducing themselves, designing personalised name badges using the computers, setting up their learning log and completing a number of team challenges.
Next week is the real introduction to the Northampton Town Football Club when the children will experience the stadium tour and have the opportunity to create their own comic strip tour using photos taken around the stadium.
