• Paris attacks

  Mon 16 Nov 2015

  Minute's silence

  On Monday morning pupils at Fielding joined people across Europe to take part in a minute's silence to remember those affected by the attacks in Paris.

  If individual pupils or groups of pupils wanted to talk about their understanding or any worries associated with the attacks, teachers in school were ready to listen and support.  However teachers have not directly taught or explicitly covered any of the issues associated with the attacks.

  "We recognise that pupils will have a wide range of understanding about the attacks in Paris.  Some of our families are French and may have been particularly affected by the events over the weekend.  Teachers are ready to listen and support pupils on an individual basis, " added Peter Dunmall, Head teacher.

  Resources to support parents' own understanding about extremism and keeping children safe on-line is available from the school's web-site:

• Children in assemblies demonstrate their knowledge of how to keep safe from bullying

  Mon 16 Nov 2015

  Anti-bullying week was launched to children today during assemblies. Children had the opportunity to discuss their understanding of what  bullying is and what to do if they are being bullied or if they witness bullying.

  "Children enjoyed the opportunity to discuss different scenarios," explained Mrs Haines, Deputy Head. "They demonstrated  a good knowledge of what bullying is and what it isn't. Children were reminded of the steps to be taken if they are worried about bullying."

  Boys football team win silver in Ealing tournament

  The boys football team narrowly missed out on 1st place in the Ealing football league on Thursday 12th November. There were 9 schools in the league this year which was played over 2 days. The boys played some great football, winning 7 out of 8 games which earned them silver medals. Although the boys were disappointed to miss out on 1st place they should all be proud of the work that they put in. For a full write up of every game, check out the PE and Sport page on the school website.

• Year 3 Diwali

  Thu 12 Nov 2015 Mr H Collins

  Year 3 Diwali fun

  Year 3 have been learning about Diwali, the Hindu ‘festival of lights’. The children have listened to the story of Rama and Sita and retold it through play scripts. Children were able to show October’s value of Unity and November’s value of Responsibility by working in groups to perform the story. Children also created shadow puppets of the main characters in the story to use in their performance. We were able to get creative when children designed a colourful diva lamp each. Miss McGee said ‘I could really see how much the children appreciated the opportunity to show case their creativity while learning about a new topic.’ Parents/carers are welcome to join us in celebrating Year 3’s Diwali learning on Friday 13th November from 3 o’clock in Year 3 classrooms. We look forward to seeing you there.

This included creating Viking Longships out of clay, making Viking shields and even a Viking fashion show to celebrate the effort the pupils had put into their costumes.

  Year 6 leader, Miss O’Dwyer explained, “Introducing our new learning challenge in this way has been hugely successful in engaging the children in their learning across the curriculum.”

• Values Poster Competition

  Mon 09 Nov 2015

  Design new images for our school values

  Last year we were delighted with some of the images that pupils produced to represent our school values. Pupil’s designs were used on reflection posters and displayed in every classroom.

  We are running another values poster competition this year for all pupils from Reception to Year 6. Each year group has a different value to create a design for. “We are looking for visually striking images to accurately represent the reflection points of our values. Example images can be found on the poster format available to print from the ‘letters’ page of the school website.” explained Mrs. Tate, Assistant Head.

  Pupil’s designs will be shortlisted by voting in classes and winners will have their images displayed around the school, as well as on reflection posters and the school website.

  Designs will need to be submitted to class teachers by Thursday 19th November.
