• 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!)
