Dear parents and carers,

We hope you are enjoying the sunny weekend. 

With a heatwave forecast for the whole of next week, please ensure that your child comes to school with a named water bottle and a hat. I am also very happy if your child would prefer to come to school next week in school PE kit, rather than school uniform, as they may find this cooler. We will keep our building as cool as possible by closing blinds, keeping lights off where we can and windows open. We also have electric cooling fans in each classroom to try and help. As we do not have air conditioning, we will take the children outside for some periods of time during the day, using the shady areas, as the building can actually be warmer and more uncomfortable than outdoors. We will avoid exercise or long periods in the sun, but please apply suncream to your child before they come to school each day. 

Many thanks for your support, and I am just very grateful that sports day and Healthy Lives Week was last week!

Dear Choir Parents, 

1. Fairfields Choir will be finishing on Tuesday 7th July. That will be the final rehearsal session of the school year. There will be no choir sessions after this date.
2. Choir will be performing two songs at the Summer Fayre on Friday 10th July. Please could all members be at the performance area for 3:35pm promptly ready for the performance at 3:40pm as we cannot go on unless enough members are present. Thank you. 
3. To support the Summer Fayre performance, as we are performing 'Sapphire' by Ed Sheeran as one of our songs and celebrating the song's fusion of Indian and British cultures, could any members of Indian origin come in their traditional Indian clothing. Other members to come wearing the colours of the Indian Flag or Union Jack flag please if this is possible. This could be brought into school to change into. Thank you so much for your help with this.

Sorry for the late notice but the forecast has changed and the rain is set to stay now for the afternoon. The playground is very slippy for netball so we have cancelled today's training after school. If this is an issue at all, please contact school. 

Apologies.

Dear parents and carers,

As a tradition in year 6, we would like to organise leavers hoodies for the children to purchase and wear for their final half term in school. They will be able to keep these as a memory of their time at Fairfields. The hoodies will be designed with the school logo on the front, and with the children's names from year 6 on the back. Only the children's first names will be used, unless we have two children with the same first name. In this situation, the child's first name and first letter of their surname will be used.  

A parent of a child in year 6 has kindly offered to coordinate the hoodies being designed and ordered but before we send out further details, we need to check if you are happy for your child's name to be included on the hoodie. If you do not want your child's name on the hoodie, please can you inform the school office by Friday 8th May. After this date, we will get started on the hoodie design. 

Many thanks

Dear parents and carers, 

There will be no netball club next week as it is Parents Evening on Monday after school. Netball will resume as normal the week after.
