• Can you help on the PTFA Committee?

  Thu 03 Oct 2019

  The annual PTFA AGM is being held on Monday 7 October.  We'll be covering how activities over the last year have raised a record breaking amount.

  More importantly we'll be showcasing some of the projects the PTFA have funded, alongside the project we feel we should support in the next 12 months.  Please come along and let us know how you want our fundraising money spent.

  We are also looking to fill a number of places on the committee. These include an events coordinator and a co-secretary. 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 half way to £5,000 target for new library books.

  Thu 03 Oct 2019
  In July, the PTFA launched a funding pool to raise £5,000 to purchase books from the new 'Recommended Reading List'.  This fund, which is just over half way to target at £2,541, will allow the PTFA to purchase new books in the library for the enjoyment of children across the school.  
  If you feel you can contribute to the fund - big or small then there are a couple of ways you can help:
  1. Donate money using the online link:    http://www.bit.ly/FieldingRecommendedReading Please add you name and the book(s) you want to donate.  
  2. You can purchase a book from any good book retailer and drop it into the school reception.
  3. If you have any books at home from the reading list that you wish to donate, then these can also be dropped off at the school reception.
  The Recommended Reading List by year group is available at    http://www.fieldingprimary.com/library-books-wish-list/

• Playground Friends & Peer Mediators

  Thu 03 Oct 2019 Phil Kennedy

  Earlier this week 90 pupils from years 2, 3, 4 and 5 were trained to be either a Playground Friend or Peer Mediator.

  The children selected applied for the positions demonstrating their enthusiasm to the role, which involves using some of their lunch play time to help other pupils in school, and supporting the Playworker staff who supervise lunchtime play.

  Playground Friends

  The Playground Friends team is made up of children from years 2 and 3. The role of Playground Friends is to help children in the playground through play. Children who completed the training playing were taught playground games and activities that can be played without equipment, and how to work with children of different ages who may be struggling to find someone to play with.

  Peer Mediators

  Pupils in the Peer Mediator team are from years 4 and 5.  They will work Key stage 1 and Key stage 2 playgrounds and help to resolve friendship problems by using the mediation skills they have learned during their training.

   Both groups will be easy to identify that they are available to help other pupils by wearing either a Blue “Playground Friend” or Yellow “Peer Mediator” cap while on duty​.
