The children had a fabulous time leaping, rolling, and almost flying, on the inflatable obstacle course which the ‘Friends of Fakenham Junior School’ kindly arranged for the children. It was so much fun, so much so, even some of the teachers braved the action and took a leap of faith! The children were sponsored and became super heroes to take on the challenge. The parents and carers were unbelievably friendly and supportive throughout the morning. Thanks to all of them, we’re lucky to have you working with us supporting the school!
The children of Fakenham Junior School had an incredible treat on the 21st May. We were visited by Jack Trelawny, author of the ‘Kernowland’ series of books. He gave an assembly to the whole school, detailing both his love of reading and his inspiration for becoming a published author. The assembly was a huge amount of fun, full of great ideas and images for the children to use in their own stories and story plans. Thank you for visiting us Jack!
The garden is taking shape at Fakenham Junior School. New plants have been purchased and are currently being planted by our fabulous ‘Garden lunchtime club’ volunteers, who have spent their own time, under the guidance of Mrs. Steward, to make the area look fantastic. Not only do we have ‘Vanilla Ice’ planted, but there are also lots of other varieties of plants and vegetables. Watch this space for more information!
Fakenham Junior School celebrated Comic Relief by selling noses and cakes throughout Thursday and Friday. The children were also able to wear red clothing or non-uniform and donate £1 to an extremely worthy cause. How much have we raised I hear you ask? You’ll find out next week in the school’s newsletter.
Thank you to everybody who took part and an extra thank you to the parents and carers who kindly baked and donated the delicious cakes and treats.

Fakenham Junior School celebrated reading and books along with many other schools from around the country. Throughout the week we listened out for the reading bell and stopped to engage in silent reading. Friendly visitors popped into the school and read stories to groups of children, some were read in Polish. Children swapped classrooms and read to each other, demonstrating both cooperative learning, and a willingness to support and help each other. On Thursday we celebrated National Book Day and the whole school dressed up and took part in a parade. The costumes on show were fantastic, imaginative and a sight to behold! Well done to all who took part and the efforts you made to make the day extremely fun and exciting. In addition, a big thank you to all the parents who came to the parade and celebrated the schools success alongside the children. It made the day, and week, feel extra special!

We are so proud of Fakenham football team, who played in a North Norfolk competition a the Nest, Norwich. They played tremendously well, winning 1 and losing 2. Some parents and grandparents came along as FJS Fantastic-fans to cheer for the girls and boys from year 5 and 6, in the team. All players demonstrated true determination and a fair play team spirit, we are very proud of them all!
