• Year 3 visit the British Museum

  Fri 27 May 2016

  The Year 3 children have been on a school trip to visit the British Museum. The children had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Ancient Greeks, through independent research and activities designed to direct the children to see a variety of interesting Greek artefacts. It was clear that the children loved seeing a range of Ancient Greek objects that they had learnt about in school. Year 3 children were given the freedom to look around galleries exploring what they found interesting, taking notes and making sketches.  This gave our children the chance to show off their Fielding values. All of the staff were very impressed with the way the children represented the school. Miss Allen, Year 3 lead teacher, commented, ‘I was so proud of all the children. It was clear by the end of the visit that all the children had gained a lot from the trip and thank you to the parents that volunteered to support the trip.’ 

  

• New Parent Governor

  Fri 27 May 2016 Peter Dunmall

  Ballot result

  Erica Jenkins, mum to children in Reception, Year 2, Year 4 and Year 6, has been elected as our new parent governor.  Ballot results:

  • Erica Jenkins, 105
  • Jenny Hossack, 47
  • Marina Manning, 18

  Sixteen blue ballot papers were not accompanied with a white parent declaration form.  None of these papers were counted.

  "It's a strength of our parent community that three parents wanted to become a governor and were nominated.  I look forward to working with Erica as a governor and would like to thank all candidates for their support and interest in the school, " said Peter Dunmall, Head teacher.

  Erica will complete an induction process as a new governor before attending her first full governing body meeting in July.

• Road Safety PTFA

  Fri 27 May 2016

  Road safety around school effects all of our children as they walk, cycle or scoot to and from school. The school is working with the Council to increase the visibility of the road calming measures and highlight the school entrances to help improve safety. We thought we'd like to add to these measures by producing some banners or sign posts which are designed by the children. So we would like to run a competition for the children to design a poster to help deter parking near the road crossings to school and to remind motorists to slow down around the school. The winning entries will be made into banners to be displayed on the barriers around school.

   

  Please drop entries into the PTFA post box in the office with name and class on the reverse by Friday 10th June. 

• Committed to being Resilient!

  Thu 26 May 2016 Mr. McConnachie

  Stacked against the odds, Year 4s have proven that through flexibility, determination and adaptability, it is possible to self-regulate, reflect and improve their own writing.  Challenged with the daunting  task of creating a first person narrative quest through the streets of London, they have all shown resilience by successfully completing their personal journey of planning, writing, editing and  re-writing a final draft full of mystery, suspense and intrigue.   Yes, truly epic!

  This half term has been full of moral and ethical debate, with the exploration of Fair Trading practices through PSHE and what it means to sacrifice for a greater good.   Community and commitment were the focus in RE where leading by example with compassion and tolerance will make us all better global citizens of the world.  Community clubs have been set up, leadership wanted posters and information brochures have all been made with just policies and fairness for all members in mind.

  Finally, this term’s creative home learning has once again proven to be a huge success, with some bridge designs that would rival any Victorian engineer!  Maps, poems, landmarks, PowerPoints, performances, disgusting digestive systems and vivid recounts of the infamous night at the museum, all served to stimulate and spur on deeper understanding of all of this half term’s topics.  Well done to all of Year 4, only one more half term to go till Year 5!

  The PE and Sport Constellation Cup competitions have been fantastic this year. The children have really embraced the idea of belonging to their constellation and have loved being given the opportunity to compete against each other at the end of every half term.

   

  We are now approaching our final half term and the highlight of the sporting year...The Fielding Olympic Games (or Sports Days). KS2 will be competing against each other in various track and field events and KS1 will compete in some more traditional sports day events. Whether KS1 or KS2, all children will be trying their hardest to win some more points for their constellation in the hope of being the first constellation to lift the the PE and Sport Constellation Cup.
