Reaching high for the best for your child

Our value for the month of December is Understanding. 

We will be talking about:

- taking time to think ‘why’ someone behaves they way they do

- trying to see things from someone else’s point of view: ‘putting yourself in their shoes’

- understanding that we are all the same, even though we are all amazingly different!

We are thinking about how to show the value of politeness!

We will be talking about:

- remembering to say please, thank you and excuse me.

- showing good manners, especially when eating.

- treating others respectfully, especially people who are older than you.

- using the right language at the right time.

Every day counts for children at Fairlands. 

We are committed to providing the best possible learning opportunities for every child, whether they are learning at school, face to face with their teacher, or learning at home remotely.

Please take a look at our quality remote learning approach, which explains how we make sure children can access high quality learning when they are away from the school site. 

Our Quality Remote Learning Approach

We learnt so much in our Black History Month assembly today!

Each year group gave a presentation on an aspect of Black history that they have been investigating:

Nursery & Reception – Mo Farrah, World Class Runner

Year 1 – Muhammed Ali, World Champion Boxer

Year 2 – Bristol Bus Boycott 1963

Year 3 – Mary Seacole

Year 4 – Black History at the time of The Romans

Year 5 – Discrimination and perseverance in politics: Nelson Mandela

Year 6 – The Windrush Scandal

Miss Bridge also explained to us about the inspirational grime artist, Stormzy and how he has provided scholarships for Black young people to get into Cambridge University.

We just had a lovely Harvest Assembly!

We all gathered together to celebrate this special time of year, saying thank you for all the good food and gifts we have in our lives. 

Pastor Andy Ginn from Bunyan Baptist joined us and talked to us about how we can 'grow in kindness', by sharing with others. 

This year, we weren't able to bring in gifts of food like we normally do and deliver parcels out to local elderly people. So we have set up a donation page for Age Concern Stevenage and Lorna joined our assembly us to tell us all about the work Age Concern are doing. We all stood up and gave them a clap for everything they do!

If you are able, please click on the link below to make a donation, however small, to the charity.

We have a new library area in the Upper Building for Years 4, 5 and 6!

To improve and update our library, we are in need of some new books such as recent releases, titles from popular series as well as a wider range of genres. Due to Covid-19, we have missed out on several fundraising events which we usually host at Fairlands, such as the school fete and Halloween disco etc, which means that we are lacking funds to purchase more books.  

Therefore, we have set up an Amazon Wishlist of books, which we would love to stock in our library. Please take a look and if you are able to purchase a book from the Wishlist for us we would be extremely grateful. If you do purchase a book for us, our school address should automatically appear as an option in your online basket.

Thank you for your continued support.
