🔬💡 Could a car drive upside down? How does sugar affect baking? Can you engineer the perfect misting system?
These were just some of the fascinating questions our Year 5 pupils set out to answer at this year’s Science Fair.
Driven by their own curiosity, pupils became experts in topics that inspired them, carrying out independent research, creating interactive displays and sharing their discoveries with confidence. From meeting scientists and contacting industry experts to designing and 3D-printing prototypes, their creativity and determination were truly impressive.
A huge thank you to the parents, grandparents, pupils and staff who joined us to celebrate their achievements and support our young scientists.

Before the half-term break, Year 5 enjoyed a memorable adventure trip to Conwy, Wales🏴
Using the youth hostel as a base, with beautiful views of the sea and mountains, the children engaged in a variety of exciting activities. The itinerary included…
🏞️Kayaking on a nearby lake
🌄Gorge walking (including scrambling through the `Elephant`s Bottom`!)
🥾Hike up Conwy Mountain to develop map skills and enhance their nature knowledge
Some also participated in beach school activities, applying their learning about rivers and coasts, while others explored Conwy Town, including a visit to Britain’s smallest house. Evenings were packed with team-building experiences such as archery, orienteering, fire lighting and team challenges.
The trip was fuelled by delicious meals, which kept everyone energised and ready for adventure. We were impressed by the Fairfield values on display, particularly the aspirational attitude to embrace challenges and push themselves outside their comfort zones and the independence shown at being away from home. Well done Year 5!🐑🎒🥾

Creation, Curiosity and Culture!
Year 3 have been having lots of fun in RE this term exploring a range of creation stories from different cultures and faiths. We have enjoyed discussing big questions and reflecting on the awe and wonder of creation, with the children sharing thoughtful ideas and showing great curiosity. As part of our learning, we have spent time outside making use of our wonderful Forest School.
These outdoor experiences have helped bring our learning to life and encouraged us to appreciate our natural world first-hand!

Futures Week at Fairfield! ⭐
Last week our Year 6 pupils were treated to a week of career exploration from workshops and talks to careers fairs, our pupils dove headfirst into the future! They discussed anything and everything from apprenticeships in business and the arts to learning from our own staff and parent body about their `squiggly` career pathways.
From marketing expertise and physiotherapists to lawyers and plastic surgeons, our pupils had the chance to ask all of their burning questions to get them thinking about their own careers when they grow up. A huge thank you to all the staff and parents that volunteered their expertise this week to give our pupils a chance to experience a whole host of careers!

A visit to the farm!🐷
Last week, our Reception children visited Stonehurst Farm to learn more about farm animals. From what they eat to where they live, our pupils discovered a wide range of interesting facts. A highlight of the trip, however, was the chance to see the guinea pigs up close!
