• Triumph for Year 5 & 6 Girls Football team who have won Borough Finals !

  Mon 06 Feb 2023 Natasha Pasha

  On Friday 3rd February the Year 5 & 6 Girls' Football team were nervous as they were due to play in the borough finals. The top four schools across Ealing who had been selected were:

  • North Primary 
  • St Gregory's 
  • St Marks 
  • Fielding  

   

  The tensions were high as North Primary and St Gregory's games ended in a goalless draw. Our final game would be the decider as all schools had drawn two and won one. We had to win this match by at least two goals to finish top of the group. Thanks to Evie (6S) who scored both goals against St Marks we have won the borough finals. This means that the Fielding Year 5 & 6 Girls Football team have been chosen to represent the borough of Ealing. Officially our girls' football team is the best in Ealing which is a huge achievement! On Tuesday 21st March the Girl's Football team will be competing against the 31 other London Boroughs at the Jack Carter Pavillion. 

   

  Massive Congratulations for winning the Borough Finals!!!

  Special Thanks to... 

  Avaani (6F), Flo G (5S), Flo H (6H), Emma (6F), Martha (6H), Lana (6F), Anya (6F), Evie (6S), Lyla (6H), Ruth (6P)

• This week's Reading celebrations and Book Fair

  Fri 03 Feb 2023 Philippa Whaley

  ​​​​​​A huge congratulations once again to the many pupils across the school who have been reading books for pleasure from the recommended reading lists and completing reading response activities in their pink book to achieve bronze, silver, gold and even platinum certificates! The options for these activities can be found in your child's reading record or on their year group noticeboard on the website. We look forward to celebrating further reading achievements next week!

   

  All pupils who attend Fielding are expected to read for 20 minutes at home every day. This may be to a parent, other adult or independently, if able. Teachers check pupils' reading records every day and sign them weekly to ensure that this is happening and will be following up with pupils and parents when it is not. As well as signing their reading record every day and writing the name of the book and pages they've read, pupils and parents are encouraged to record new words they come across and discuss the meanings of these together.

   

  With the support of our Junior and Senior Librarians, we are once again welcoming and running the Travelling Books book fair after half-term. It will be situated in the KS1 library from Tuesday 7th March- Monday 13th March and will be open for business between 8:15am and 8:45am in the mornings and 3:30-4pm each afternoon. We look forward to seeing you there!

• Readathon 2023 & World Book Day Friday 3 March

  Wed 01 Feb 2023 Philippa Whaley

  Fielding will be celebrating World Book Day on Friday 3rd March (the National day is Thursday 2 March).

   

  To celebrate, pupils (and adults) will choose their favourite book character or a favourite book and bring in or wear 3 clues to what the book is for their class to guess. For example, this could include a mask or props, which of course may be home-made.

   

  During the week of World Book Day 2023 (Monday 27.2.23- Monday 5.3.23), pupils will also be taking part in Readathon. Since its first Readathon in 2000, Fielding has raised a grand total of £5381. This has led to many books being donated to much-needed schools and hospitals. During the week after half term (week commencing  20th February), your child will receive a sponsor card, book mark and details on how to take part and start raising money. Please see the film below for further information.

• No Outsiders, missing books

  Wed 01 Feb 2023 Clare Haines

  During parent consultations this week it was great to se the interest in our new 'No Outsiders' picture books for teaching equality, diversity and inclusion in school.

  Unfortunately some of our books have been misplaced. If you or your child picked one up for a closer look, please return it to school as soon as possible. We’d like to share them with other parents at next week's meetings and read them with the children in class.

  Just in case the books are not returned I've added the books to an Amazon wish list here.

   

  The titles we are missing are:

  • Elmer
  • The Truth About Old People
  • Blue Chameleon
  • The Huey in The New Jumper
  • You choose
  • Can I Join Your Club?
  • Want to play trucks?
  • When sadness comes to call
  • Aalfred and Aalbert
  • The Great Big Book of Families
