Key stage 2
Year 6 Spring Term
This term pupils have been learning more about the natural world and linking this to our science topic of 'Evolution. Pupils have been outside on the school field searching for minibeasts to document, as well as studying what fossils are able to tell us about living things from the past. Pupils have also had the opportunity to learn more about road safety and spent a week riding their bikes on the local roads.
Year 6 Autumn Term
This term pupils have been learning all about contrasting weather and climates; discovering the Ancient Maya and writing about the wonderful world of Hugo Cabret based on the book. Pupils have enjoyed learning how to play netball and tag rugby, as well as a dance routine with Tracey. They have developed their understanding of musical notation and playing the keyboards within music. Plus they have been able to cut and join wood to make a toy shop sign within design technology lessons.

Well done to the football team
Well done to Fairfields football teams for such exciting games today at Chalkridge School. We lost two by very narrow margins and drew two. The teams were closely matched and the children represented the school really well.
Football
Well done to all the pupils for representing their school at football with such commitment today. The A team won one of their two games and the B team narrowly lost 1 - 0 and drew 1 - 1. Football has now finished until the spring term.
Basketball tournament
These pupils attended a tournament at the Vyne School sporting our new basketball kits. They made an amazing start, winning the first game 4 -1. In total, we won two of our four games. We didn't manage to advance to the semi-finals but won the consolation game 5 - 1. Every child scored! They showed excellent sporting behaviour and I am very proud of them!
