• Children's Mental Health Week 7th - 13th February

  Mon 31 Jan 2022

  Next week is Children’s Mental Health Week. This year’s theme is Growing Together and so children and adults will be encouraged to consider how they have grown and how they can help others to grow. A fantastic opportunity to spend time talking together is during the journey to and from school.

   

  To help support and encourage active travel on the way to and from school, My Journey Hampshire will be providing My Journey Funsize. These are small daily ideas for activities to do whilst travelling actively on the school run. They will be sent out daily and can easily be opened on any device.

   

  If you want to participate in the activities do not forget to allow the time on your active travel school run. Alternatively, you can access them on the My Journey website, Spring into Action Funsize | My Journey Hampshire. So take the stress out of the school runs, improve the congestion and pollution levels around the school gates and try some new activities to engage with each other and connect with our surroundings. Have fun together trying out My Journey Funsize.

• Fairfield Infant School Birthday

  Mon 24 Jan 2022

  The 27th of January is our school’s birthday and this year Fairfield Infant School will be turning 127! In order to celebrate, the children will be taking part in a range of Victorian activities to find out a little more about what life would have been like for the first pupils of Fairfield.

   

  Each year group will concentrate their learning around a theme. These will be as follows:

   

  Year R – Victorian playground games and toys
  Year 1 – Victorian food
  Year 2 – Victorian school day

   

  Our aim is for these themes to stay the same each year so that, as children move through the school, they build a little more on their knowledge of life during the Victorian times and the history of our school.

   

  As part of the day, we would like for all children to come dressed in clothes appropriate to the Victorian era. We understand, however, that costumes can be costly especially if only worn once! We hope that the ideas below will give you some ways to provide an inexpensive costume for your child that you could create from existing clothing items you have at home—there are also some other pictures of Victorian costume for reference.

   

  If you are unable to provide a costume for your child, we would ask that they wear dark trousers and a white top or shirt as this will help them dress in keeping with the Victorian theme. Please do see your child’s class teacher if you have any problems or queries regarding this.
