• What have Year 1 been doing recently?

  Fri 29 Apr 2016 Jamie Lewis
  Year 1 have particularly enjoyed learning about 2D and 3D shape. They started by reminding themselves of properties of 2D shapes and went on to think about the language associated with 3D shapes. The children looked at images of difference city-scapes and picked out the shapes that they could see; we spotted all sorts of shapes in Tower Bridge, The Shard and City Hall. 

   

  The children this week we have also continued our work with 'Dogger' by Shirley Huges, the book in which a small boy loses his favourite soft toy. The children have had the opportunity to let their creativity flow by changing the character name and re-writing their own version of the classic tale. To help the children compose their best writing, they have learnt about how to change verbs to the past tense and how to re-read their own writing to check that it makes sense. 

   

  Linking our work about Three Little Pigs in science, 1F tried to build their own structures using spaghetti. It proved to be very difficult and really allowed the children to show the school's values of co-operation, perseverance and kindness. We have all enjoyed our learning this week and we are looking forward to our three-day weekend!

• QPR first team visit Fielding

  Fri 29 Apr 2016 Mr Thomas

  Twelve very lucky Fielding children were this week chosen to take part in a special training session at Fielding with 2 QPR first team players. Tjaronn Chery and Nasser El Khayati visited fielding on Tuesday afternoon and put some of our brightest future footballers through their paces. It was a fantastic experience for our pupils and we are very grateful to QPR for providing us with the opportunity. Both of the players were very impressed with all of our boys but gave special recognition to Joe from Year 5 and Matteo from Year 3. Maybe we will see them in QPR shirts too very soon!!

• Marathon Men of Fielding

  Fri 29 Apr 2016 Mr Thomas

  Outstanding achievements from both Mr Dunmall and Mr Winn in the world of marathons!  Mr Dunmall ran the London Marathon with a personal best time of 3h40.  Mr Winn ran the Paris Marathon with a very respectable time of 3h56.  We are sure a few of our school values came into play namely PATIENCE (at the start!) RESILIENCE, POSITIVITY, DETERMINATION and HAPPINESS (at the end!).

   

  The hours of training, hard work and dedication certainly paid off.  Congratulations we are very proud of you both!

  Trip to The Natural History Museum recount

  What a great first two weeks back we have had after our Easter break! We have learnt about Dinosaurs and even managed to squeeze in a trip to the Natural History Museum. The pupils loved their visit and I’m sure there have been many children asking their parents when they can go back. The pupils are now able to talk about fossils and skeletons of dinosaurs. William, 2H, explained “It was such an amazing trip, I had no idea about the different sizes of dinosaurs and how sharp some of their teeth were.” When the children got back to school, all they could talk about was the trip. The teachers in Year 2 thought this would be a perfect time to write a recount about the visit as all children were so engaged. The pupils enjoyed this from the moment they started writing and were eager to learn how to make their recount as detailed as possible. We focused on suffixes, statements, exclamations and questions. At first the children found this challenging as they had to include all four writing features in one piece of work. After explicit grammar teaching, drafting and editing, their final recounts were incredible! 

• 51 degrees N, 12 degrees W

  Thu 28 Apr 2016 Mr. McConnachie

  Whilst trying to understand why so many people live in London, Year 4 have had figure out where in the world are we? Geographical position, physical features and climate conditions have all been explored through the ‘Great British Atlas Quiz’ this week.  To their disbelief, people did exist before Sat Navs and Tom Toms, and just to prove it we busted out our brand new atlases and explored the world.  Starting with the Greenwich Mean Time we’ve explored meridians, latitudes, tropics, circles and why days are longer in the summer, which we are all looking forward to! As Zak in year 4H said, ‘Even the Romans must have realised the strategic advantages of London’s location.’

  Our big night at the museum looms and be sure to fill in and submit the Health Information form which can also be found at the office if necessary.   All other information can be found in the ‘Year Group Notice board’ section of the website.

  Finally, the first two Baccalaureate badges of the year have been awarded to Sofia and Kinda, who have successfully managed to achieve all the tasks and shown their commitment and values to the wider community.
