• PEAL Shield Boys Year 5 & 6 Football team Semi Final Knockout

  Fri 26 May 2023 Natasha Pasha

  Today the Year 5 & 6 Boys' football team were due to play St Marks. It was a very intense first half where both teams were playing defensively. Jordi (6S) made some remarkable saves and was diving everywhere to secure a goalless first half. Due to the pressure, it was 0-0 in the first half. 

   

  Going into the second half St Mark's pressed in attack and managed to score a cheeky deflection off the post. The momentum was high, and they continued to put our defence under pressure causing an injury to Oscar (5P). The boys in defence tried their best: Sev (5S), Ishaaq (6F), Gioele (6F) and Oscar. Unfortunately, they managed to score a further 3 goals from corner kicks. Therefore, results in a 4-0 lost. In attack Tem (5F), Theo (6S), Ahmed (5F), Aiden (6F), Reuben (6S) all tried to score but St Marks goalkeeper made some excellent saves. 

   

  It is unfortunate that the boys lost but they can hold their head up high that they made into the semi-finals in the first place. 

   

  Well done to...

  Reuben (6S), Theo (6S), Jordi (6S), Tem (5F), Ahmed (5F), Aiden (6F) Gioele (6F), Sev (5S), Ishaaq (6F), Oscar (5P)

  Have a wonderful half term break!

• PTFA: Fielding parent wins PTA National Volunteer of the Year

  Wed 24 May 2023 PTFA

  Nolan O'Connor, Fielding parent and former PTFA chair (2017-2022), has been awarded the England 'Volunteer of the Year' in the ParentKind PTA Awards. The ParentKind awards formed part of a National PTA Week which ran 15-19 May.

   

  Nolan was one of six, shortlisted volunteers and many Fielding parents and staff got involved in the public vote to support Nolan and secure his win.

   

  Nolan's support for the school is unwavering since joining in 2017. Over the years, there never seems to have been anything too big or too small for him to get involved in. During his tenure as chair, he also created and led the delivery of several fun and innovative events, activities and ways of engaging both children and adults, and raised our PTFA over £350,000. These funds have helped to create the Kitchen Garden, Second Hand Uniform shed, initial library refurbishment and much more.

   

  In everything he’s done, Nolan's also helped to foster an amazing community at our school and the local area, which we all benefit from.

   

  Thankfully Nolan still plays an active role within the PTFA and we feel incredibly lucky to have him.

• 1st Place for Year 5 & 6 Boys Cricket team

  Fri 19 May 2023 Natasha Pasha

  Today Years 5 & 6 Boys' team participated in a Cricket Tournament with 6 local schools. Little Ealing, Acton Gardens, Oaklands, Lady Margaret, St Marks and West Acton. 

   

  For this competition, every school started off with 200 runs.

  If the opposing team take a wicket 5 runs they will be deducted from the total score. 

   

  Our first game was against Oaklands and the boys were nervous as the previous game was a very close score. They did not know what to expect. We started off well taking a few early wickets which made it very difficult for Oaklands to chase. Final score Oaklands 227 and Fielding 291. Some excellent batting from Noah (6F) who scored 47 runs. 

   

  Our second game was against Acton Gardens who had an excellent fielding side. They also took some early wickets, but the boys remained confident and managed to hit quite a few sixes and fours to make up for the early wickets taken. There was a great batting partnership between the brother duo Ishaaq (6F) and Yaqoob (5S) who increased the run rate. At the end of the game, the final score was Acton Gardens 237 and Fielding 277.  

   

  As a result of scoring a total of 568 runs across two games, we finished top of our group and were given a by straight into the semi-final. 

   

  In the Semi-final, we played Lady Margaret School who had an excellent fielding team and they managed to run out a few players. However, the boys' kept their cool and had an excellent batting inning and managed to get quite a few early wickets. Well done to Zaki (6F) who took 4 wickets in one over. This reduced Lady Margaret's run rate drastically. The final score was Lady Margaret 227 and Fielding 264 runs, therefore, won the game. 

   

  Tensions were high as we were due to play our local rival Little Ealing in the final. Both teams were equally matched in terms of ability. It was any team for the taking. I am happy to announce that Fielding won by 2 runs thanks to Noah (6F) who hit a four on the last ball. 

   

  As a result, we are through to the borough finals to play the other top team in Ealing. The winner of this game will be selected to represent Ealing at the London Games. 

   

  Congratulations to the Boys for coming 1st Place!

  A special thanks to...

  Zaki (6F), Aiden (6F), Ishaaq (6F), Noah (6F),  Leo W (6P), Arthur W (6S), Ansh (5S), Yaqoob (5S), Stanely (5P), Dylan (5P),
