• A big thank you from Ealing Food bank

  Mon 27 Nov 2023

  Ealing Food bank would like to express their gratitude for the generosity of Fielding families through our charity event last week.  We donated over £600 to the charity and took hundreds of toys, clothes and toiletries to their warehouse.  Over the next few weekends families in Ealing will have the opportunity to visit the food bank and select presents for their children.  During our values lessons in schools pupils' learnt about the charity that we were supporting this term, discussing links with our school value of empathy.  Many thanks to our Fielding parents, Jennie and Kirsty for helping to take all the items to the warehouse. 

  We will be organising two further charity events during this academic year from the charities that the children voted to support. 

  

• Winter Weather risk

  Mon 27 Nov 2023 Peter Dunmall

  Snow and cold weather is forecast for this week. There is a risk that travel disruption may affect staff and pupils.

   

  It is highly unlikely that the school, Nursery and/or childcare will close:

  • staff are asked to make their best effort to get to work, including allowing longer for travel;
  • pupils and parents are encouraged to allow a little longer to travel to school, including taking care while on the school site of any untreated surfaces;
  • we will do our best to clear any snow and treat main walking routes through the school site.

   

  If we are forced to close or partially close, perhaps as a result of burst pipes, no heating and/or too few staff, we will take the decision by 8am of the morning of any closure (earlier if possible), posting information Latest News.

   

  In the event of very cold weather, we will switch to 'cold play' arrangements where

  • all pupils stay inside for break times, or
  • pupils have outdoor break times with the option of popping inside some, ground-floor, classrooms to warm-up, if they wish.

  

• Y5 & 6 Boys Performance Team vs St Marks - PEAL Shield

  Fri 24 Nov 2023 Mr Francis

  Today, we hosted the PEAL Shield game vs St Marks. This was the first time meeting since the cup final in September and with both teams level on points in the league table, there was everything to play for.

   

  With Charlie (6H) unable to play due to illness, a last minute change to our team was made with Zain (6P) agreeing to step in as the replacement goalkeeper. We made an extremely quick start to the match with Ahmed (6F) scoring from close range to put us into the lead. We carried on the momentum and pressure, creating more good chances but were unable to capitalise on it. St Marks played a through ball through our defence and scoring. With the score at 1-1, we knew we needed to push on and get the next goal and it came shortly after with a great strike from Daniel (6F) to make it 2-1. Yaqoob (6S) was persistent in his pressing and was awarded when he won the ball, dribbled and finished with a well executed shot to make it 3-1 to Fielding. St Marks continued to come back with an attack and despite Zain (6P) making an abundance of saves, they finally scored with two quick successive goals to level the game at 3-3.

   

  The second half started very cagey with both teams playing wary and tactfully and Tem (6F) was unlucky not to put us into the lead with a fantastic dribble but was unable to get his shot away. Unfortunately, St Marks got the goal after half time to put them in the lead. As we pushed on, searching for that equalising goal, St Marks scored another to make it 5-3.

   

  The match ended in defeat for us, however we will analyse this performance and see what we can do to ensure we get the result next time, but well done to all the boys for their efforts and never giving up until the very last kick of the game! Lastly, thank you to Zain (6P) for showing outstanding resilience playing in goal today and despite this not being his natural position, he made a number of high quality saves!

   

  Scorers

  Ahmed (6F) x 1

  Daniel (6F) x 1

  Yaqoob (6S) x 1

   

  Thank you to..Rory (5S), Conor (5H), Oscar (6P), Zain (6P), Matt (6S), Sev (6S), Yaqoob (6S), Ahmed (6F), Tem (6F), Daniel (6F)

  

• 7-1 Victory for Year 5 & 6 Girls Performance Football team !

  Fri 24 Nov 2023 Natasha Pasha

  Today the Year 5 & 6 Girls Performance team played St Marks in our second league game for the Ealing Girls Cup. We knew this was going to be an intense game as we knew they had many club-level players in their team.

   

  The game started off even until suddenly St Marks managed to score an early goal. Fielding started to believe in themselves, and Flo G (6S) scored a goal from a counterattack. This goal gave the girls hope they could do this. Fielding were now dominating possession and continuously pressing towards the goal. Flo G (6S) was on fire she scored a further two goals resulting in her scoring a Hattrick.  At half time the score was 3 - 1 to Fielding. 

   

  Going into the second half changes were made and Fielding scored two goals back to back by making early release passes. One was from Coco (5P) and one was from Qamara (5S). Both are beautiful goals that you would see in the premiership. Now the score was 5 - 1. The girls were confident that we would secure a victory.  They continued to press forwards and both Qamara (5S) and Coco (5P) scored their second goal each. 

   

  As a whole defence did a great job keeping their opponents out and gave them very little room to score. They all hustled to ensure St Marks were unable to get to the ball. Thank you to our defenders Daisy (5P), Alice (5S), Martina (5S), Emily (6S), Adelaide (6S), Darcy (6P) and Miral (5H).

   

  In attack, we had Flo G (6S), Qamara (5S) and Coco (5P) who made some great one-two passes to set each other up to score. 

   

  Thank you also to Lois (5P) for ensuring no further goals went in. 

   

  Well done Emily (6S) for her first trial in the performance team.

   

  The final score was a huge 7- 1

   

  Well done girls you all played really well and look forward to our game on 8th December against St Josephs. 

   

  Special thanks to...

  Qamara (5S), Flo G (6S), Coco (5P), Darcy (6P), Miral (5H), Martina (5S), Alice (5S), Adeliade (6S), Lois (5P), Daisy (5P)

• Year 3 - 6 Boccia

  Thu 23 Nov 2023 Mr Francis

  On Thursday 23rd November, Fielding took part in the Boccia competition at Villiers High School. We entered two teams, one consisting of Year 3 & 4 and one with Year 5 & 6. There was a lot of excitement as this was the first time some of the children had gone out of school to represent Fielding in a competition and they were eager to get started.

   

  In the Year 3 & 4s first game, we lost 5-0 to Oaklands but managed to show great resilience in the next match drawing 1-1 to Hambrough with Jake (Oak) and Ryszard (Oak) making some great defensive shots to knock Hambrough’s balls away from the Jack ball, keeping us in the game. In the final group game, we managed to secure victory with a 2-1 win over Beaconsfield with Millie (3P) and Dottie (3S) playing some great shots, finishing 3rd in our group.

   

  In the Year 5 & 6 league, we started off extremely well with a 2-0 win over Dormers Wells, with some great shots made from both Freya (5P) and Lani (5F). Our second game was against Clifton and it was a very close game with excellent shots being made by Quinn (6S) and Jacob (5F) which kept the game in our hands and allowed us to win 2-1. Our final group game was against Acton Gardens, we knew that we had qualified from our group at this point, but we still went after the win. After a few defensive shots from Acton Gardens, making it difficult for us, they eventually went on to win the game 3-0. Moving into the Quarter Finals, we faced Selbourne and took an early lead with a fantastic shot from Isaiah (5S). Selbourne were trying to get back into the game and managed to knock our ball out of the way and with their next two shots took the lead with the score ending 3-0.

   

  Quarter Finalists!

   

  Well done to… Quinn (6S), Jacob (5F), Lani (5F), Isaiah (5S), Freya (5P), Millie (3P), Dottie (3S), Ryszard (Oak), Jake (Oak).
