Learning about Blood Donation
Year 3 and 4 were lucky to be visited by parent Mrs Hamer who works for Welsh Blood Donation Service. She told the children lots of facts about blood and the importance of donating when we are older.

Last week on the 5th October Fairfield's football team was invited to join our local cluster of Primary schools at Evenlode.
On Tuesday the 2nd October years 3 & 4 visited the Cardiff bay barrage to continue our investigation on heart rates before and after exercise. We completed a circuit on the Adizone outdoor gym, played basketball and parachute games. They were all a joy to take out and were treated to a play in the Paget road park. Well done years 3 & 4!
On Thursday 12th July Simon Jones, Disability Sport Wales Development Officer for Vale of Glamorgan visited Fairfield to deliver workshops to Year 3+4. He demonstrated to the children how to set up opportunities for disabled children to be included in sport and physical activity in play and showing how to make our school an inclusive environment. The children played everyday games that they usually play but were encouraged to think of how to adapt the game to make it fair and accessible to all. The children were given the opportunity to experience life with a disability which helped gauge the children's understanding of the barriers they can sometimes face. It was a fantastic afternoon of sport linked to our topic 'Sportswear designers' where the children showed great enthusiasm and understanding. Well done Milton, Byron and Shelley we are very proud of you all.
On Wednesday 4th July class Byron visited Renishaws engineering base in Miskin.
