Celebrating Our Community

We love to celebrate the work of our pupils in school at Fairfields. This page has been created to celebrate the work of the children in the wider community, outside school hours.  

If your child has anything they would like to share and celebrate with us on this website page, please email in the details, and a photo if you are happy for us to attach it to this webpage, to admin@fairfields.hants.sch.uk. 

Please scroll down to see what the children have been up to. We are very proud of them all and we are sure you will be too!

Edward attended the HDKI Southern Region Karate Championship and participated in 3 events. This was his first ever Karate Tournament and he walked away with 3 medals, 2 gold (first place) and 1 bronze (third place). He was super excited just to be apart of it but walking out with 3 medals was the absolute icing on the cake. His family and his Karate club are super proud of his achievement! 
We are extremely proud of you too Edward, what an amazing achievement! 

Channing has recently received his orange belt in his kick boxing and he came 2nd in his first kick boxing tournament. His Family are all very proud of him!

Kyla completed the Summer Reading Challenge and is very proud of this achievement.

Well done Kyla, it is lovely to hear that you have been doing lots of reading over the holidays. 

Bence climbed Snowdon in Wales during half term. It is the second tallest mountain in the UK (1085m). 

Wow! This looks like it was a challenge, fantatsic work Bence and thank you for sharing this with us. 

Funsho and Nicholas, along with 9 others from Basingstoke, competed against teams from different countries at the PSG stadium in Paris on Sunday 18th May. Although a bit over whelmed to begin with, they were able to overcome the nerves to do what they were there for, play amazing football.
 
The team won every game and came away as The Europa Cup winners for U10s! They all did an amazing job and showed what talent there is in Basingstoke, with two of them being at Fairfield's! 
 
This is fantastic boys, what an achievement! 

Bence completed a 17 km memorial hike last Saturday. He competed in the race with his Hungarian Scout Group and they came 4th. Bence also got a special cup to celebrate that he was the youngest scout this year to complete the challenge. Congratulations Bence!

Rome and Milan attended an event to highlight a Seen Barnardo’s report 'Crowning glory, exploring the stories of black hair and skin “licence to love myself”'. The event was hosted in the Houses of Parliament, specifically the house of Lords with Lord Hastings and Baroness Lola Kenny in attendance. Rome and Milan wrote pieces about their love for their hair. It was a competition and Rome was one of three runners up. They both read their piece out in a room with about 100 people. They read so beautifully and sat so well.

 

You have both written such beautiful poems and were very brave to stand and read them to a big crowd of people. This is Amazing and we are so proud of you both. 

 

 

Henry and his u8 football team entered their first tournament of the season on Friday night (21st Feb). Henry made some amazing saves in goal and played well out on pitch too. Despite the horrible wet weather, Henry and the team battled their way to victory and ended the night as tournament champions!
They then went on to win both their Sunday league matches tooA big well done to you and your team, Henry. 

Jessica raised and released over 30 painted lady butterflies this year. Jessica completed this last year and she wanted to share her achievement in helping maintain the butterfly population. Jessica raised them from caterpillar to butterfly and below are some pictures of them when they went into their chrysalis to transform into butterflies. (The red on the butterfly house is not blood, it is what they expel from their body once they have come out of their chrysalis). We are very proud of her achievement and she is going to be doing it next year.

Wow, that is a lot of butterflies to care for, well done. Thank you for sharing this with us Jessica.

 

Henry scored his first goal of the season and went on to get his first ever hatrick! He was also in goal during his 2nd match and he kept a clean sheet, earning himself player of the match. Super job Henry, this is amazing. 

 

Mabel caught a rainbow trout during her fly fishing lesson in half term. She worked very hard and it took 90 minutes to catch. She caught it using a green and black feather lure which was used to imitate an insect. You had to be very patient here Mabel and it worked to your advantage, great job!

A big well done to Riley for winning a gold medal at his first martial arts competition. Coming first is a great achievement, you are super! We look forward to seeing more gold medals in the future. 

 
 
 
In April, Nicolas Holmes and Harry Davies played for Hampshire RTC in the Junior Premier League National Finals. It was an amazing achievement for them to get to the Nationals as they are in their first year playing together as a team and also playing in this high standard league. They played 4 games and topped their league, which put them through to the final, which they also won! They are both Championship National Final Winners. 
 

Wow! This is a super achievement and we were very impressed with the medal you both got to show your hard work. A big well done from us all at fairfields. 

Over the Easter holidays Emilie had 21cm cut off her long hair. She sent it off to The Little Princess Trust who will use it to make it into wigs for children and young people who aren't well. The charity received the hair and wrote Emilie an email to say thank you. 

This is amazing Emilie and such a lovely thing to do. We are very proud of you and think you are a star!

Edward completed the level 1 bikeability course that he heard about in the weekly update, during the holidays.  He earned his badge, and had a great time doing it!

This is amazing Edward! It is great when you enjoy doing something and can develop a skill at the same time. Thank you for sharing this with us. 

Rome completed his ‘54 in 54’ which is 18 reps of 3 exercises (push ups, sit ups and star jumps) to raise money for The Ricky Casey Trust. The Ricky Casey Trust is a charity who support those affected by renal medullary carcinoma. Rome has raised over £800!

Phoebe received her first Royal Academy of Dancing dance award. 

This is an amazing achievement Phoebe! Thank you for sharing you great dancing talents with us. 

I would like to celebrate Mabel for her brilliant dedication to the Wildmoor Toad Patrol.
She has completed training and yesterday we went on our first toad patrol together. We rescued 18 toads, 2 newts and 10 frogs after 2 miles of patrol.
The toads get stranded on the road and are often found dead which is really sad. The Wildmoor Toad patrol volunteer their time to help amphibians cross the road safely/ carry them to their pond.
 
This is such a lovely and caring thing to do Mabel. Well done for giving up your time to help others and good luck with your future rescues. 

Ollie was given the termly achievement trophy at Swimming.

Amazing work Ollie! You must be working very hard and doing well with your swimming. Thank you for sharing this with us.
