• Years 4,5 & 6 Values Baccalaureate begins

  Thu 30 Sep 2021 Miss L Stabler

  Our Values Baccalaureate gives pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 the chance to use and show our values in and out of school. Pupils find and chose different ways to show our values. Many pupils find this interesting and rewarding.

   

  Teachers encourage all pupils to at least complete the Bronze Award. This helps their wider, personal development, beyond learning in the classroom.

   

  There are 3 levels of award: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Year 4 pupils and others who have not yet started the Baccalaureate start at Bronze. After the Bronze award, pupils may move on to Silver and then Gold, usually in Year 6. At each award, pupils gain a patch to wear on their school uniform.

   

  The tasks build in size and challenge with each stage of the award. Pupils work at their own pace through Bronze, Silver and Gold. They record completion of their tasks using their notebook in Microsoft Teams or on paper.

• Reminder: Monday 4 October AGM and Drinks Reception

  Thu 30 Sep 2021 School Office

  This is a reminder that the PTFA AGM is being held on Monday 4 October - in a face to face environment in the School Hall.  We'll be showcasing some of the projects the PTFA have funded, alongside confirming a calendar of events for the next 12 months.  Please come along and let us know what you think!
  We ask that a class rep from each class attend the meeting if they can, but any parent/carer is free to attend to find out more about what we do.  The meeting kicks off at 8.30pm in the Main Hall at Fielding Primary School and should last no longer than 60mins.  We'll have drinks available too.
  
  Unfortunately a number of dedicated PTFA committee members are now stepping aside.  We rely on volunteers to run the PTFA and the majority have full time jobs. We understand these are tough times, but if you believe in helping enrich the education of our children and have even a small amount of time (30mins a week), we are on the lookout for some parents to help support central activities. Even if you are new to volunteering there is plenty of guidance from the rest of the team. We'll happily explain the roles in more detail either face-to-face or via fieldingPTFA@gmail.com

• PTFA Big Reception Picnic raises over £1200

  Wed 29 Sep 2021 School Office

  Many thanks to the 78 families who attended the Reception Picnic on Sunday.  It provided the perfect opportunity to new pupils and parents joining the school to meet fellow classmates and their families in a relaxed environment on the school field.  

   

  Each reception class pulled together stalls and activities including an obstacle course, creative corner, cake stall and bar/refreshments - which helped raise over £1200 for Fielding PTFA.  

   

  It was wonderful to see so many families enjoying themselves and a chance to see new parts of the school - including the Kitchen Garden (having been prevented from seeing them due to Covid restrictions).  

   

   A huge thank you to Weird Beard Brewery and Patri (Artisan Street Food) for the donation of beer and wine for the bar, while a big thanks also to Jays Newsagent for donating the ice and Phoebe at West London Pick n Mix for the sweets.  Their support for Fielding Primary School is greatly appreciated.  A big thank you to all the Class Reps and parents who helped organise the day too! 

   

• Ealing Mini Mile raises £2,000 for Fielding PTFA

  Wed 29 Sep 2021 School Office

  Well done to all those pupils and parents who ran in the Fielding Mini Mile/Half Marathon last weekend.  Thankfully the weather gave near perfect conditions for the run and so far we haven't heard of any injuries.
   

  There were seven classes (4H, 4P, 4S, 3H, 2H, 2P, 1H) who clubbed together to help raise money for Fielding PTFA totalling just over £2,000 in sponsorship - with money still coming in.  A huge thank you to all those family and friends who sponsored children at the school.  4P raised £404, 2P raised £402, 4S raised £393, 1H raised £290, 2H raised £259, 3H raised £210 and 4H raised £35.

• PTFA One-Off Parent Donations

  Fri 24 Sep 2021 School Office

  Last week Mr Dunmall updated parents on the current status of regular parent contributions and the amounts projected from childcare income to help plug the shortfall in government funding for school activities.  

   

  This prompted a number of parents to ask the PTFA about one-off donations with the added benefit of GiftAid - which gives a 25% uplift to any donation courtesy of the government. (Fielding PTFA is set up as a charity organisation).

   

  The PTFA have already received around £3,000 in one-off donations via the GiftAid route.  If anyone would like to make a one-off donation, then please use this link via the Charities Aid Foundation which is linked directly to Fielding PTFA's bank account.  https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/17518.

   

  Thank you to those parents who have been able to support us in this way.  It goes a long way to help fund all the amazing extras that Fielding pupils enjoy including the Kitchen Garden, Music Lesson, Forest School, Library Services and school trips!
