• Carry My Story

  Thu 09 May 2024

  We were so proud of our Y5 children as they met with a very special visitor, Natalia, an Ukrainian refugee. She told us about her experiences and how she has always maintained hope for the future.The children asked some very insightful questions and reminded us of how important it is to understand one another’s journeys. Natalia said that she would love to come back to visit us soon.

• Ultimate Warrior

  Wed 08 May 2024

  The Ultimate Warriors made Wednesday one of the most active days of the year so far. The younger children had a multi skills session and KS2 enjoyed developing their golfing skills.

  

• Mental Health Nurses

  Tue 07 May 2024

  KS2 were visited by student mental health nurses from Huddersfield University who spoke to the children about the importance of sleep for good mental health. They also showed the children how to do CPR. Quite a few children said they would like to be mental health nurses in the future! In addition, parents and staff were offered a quick health check and it felt like a mini surgery as we lined up for our blood pressure and oxygen checks! The mental health nurses will be coming back to Field Lane to deliver some workshops to our Early Years and Key Stage 1 children.

  

• British Science Week

  Fri 15 Mar 2024 Year 4

  As part of British Science Week, Year 3 and 4 were treated to a Wacky Science Party. As soon as we went in the presenter told us to put safety ‘googlies’ on. After telling us a few jokes, he accidentally pressed a gas canister into some water- a fire emerged, this was my favourite bit. With his wind bazooka, he blew tissue rolls all over us - this was so funny. Some of us were covered! I enjoyed listening to the liquid dog bark. Then with some help he made his own pet - I named my new slimy friend ‘Blob.’ Finally we had a challenge where we raced against him to see whose rocket would fly the highest. We won and he told us we are 'Professional DNA scientists!’

   

   

  

• Showing Racism the Red Card

  Wed 13 Mar 2024

  Y5 spent a very informative day at Huddersfield Town Football Club discussing issues concerning racism and stereotyping. Our young ambassadors spoke with sensitivity and maturity, impressing the Huddersfield Town coaches and players. They were given a signed Show Racism the Red Card t-shirt and the girls were able to show off our new sports  kit on the pitch!

   

  

• SOUP

  Fri 09 Feb 2024

  Today we had our SOUP event. We raised around £205 and each class did a pitch about what the money should be spent on. Some suggestions included a buddy bench, stationery sets and programmable robots.

  Year 6 won with over 60 votes. Their proposal was about buying some multi-sports tables.

  The purpose of SOUP is to help children understand what we mean by ‘democracy’ and to understand how we vote. Children also get the chance to speak in front of an audience which is an important life skill. Thank you to Mrs Farid and Mrs Makda for making the soup. It was delicious!

  

• PLPS Girls U11 (Y5 & Y6) Tournament

  Fri 09 Feb 2024 Hajra, Zainab and Maimoonah (Y6)

  ‘On Thursday 8th February our team of Y5/6 girls took part in an inter school tournament in spite of the weather! The football games were amazing! We all tried to work together and we scored many goals. It was really good fun! I made new friends and even though some of them lost their games, we still cheered them on. I hope to go back one day. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity!’

• Coffee Morning

  Wed 07 Feb 2024

  A huge thank you to all of the parents who organised our Get Together today. They made the hall look so warm and welcoming for parents and our visitors from Sheffield
  University. Thank you to all who donated sweet
  treats and to those who came along too. As always,
  there was such a lovely atmosphere as we chatted
  and reminisced about our old school days and the
  school meals we had.
  We have raised £393 for Save the Children’s
  Emergency Appeal and Doctors Without Borders who
  provide doctors and medical resources in war torn
  areas including Gaza.

  

• Welcome To Your Vote Week 2024

  Fri 02 Feb 2024 Inaaya Z, Inaaya S and Abdullah P (Y5)

  Today, 5 children from Field Lane School visited Fairfield School to learn about democracy as part of Welcome to Your Vote Week 2024. We met the Mayor of Kirklees and the newly appointed council leader, Cathy Scott. We also met children from different schools: Fairfield, Westmoor, BGHS and Diamond Wood Academy. We took part in some activities where we decorated a box and did a quiz. We gave a speech in front of everyone! One student at Fairfield gave a very powerful speech in which he said, ‘Just because I am bound to a wheelchair doesn’t mean I haven’t got a voice.’ We were all given badges to mark the occasion (Mr Lorgat really wanted a badge but he didn’t get one!)
