Hi everyone
We hope you’re all OK and are managing to stay happy, healthy and safe. Recently, you found out who your class teacher will be next year when return to school – remember, Autumn is for all children.
Here’s a short video message from each teacher welcoming you into their class and giving you some information about next year.
We hope you have a great summer and we can’t wait to see you all in September!
Hey everyone

Y5,6 Reading
If you’ve been in my class, you know how much I love a good debate. I think it helps us engage with the world around us, articulate our thoughts and is a really valuable life skill. Also, to gain information, we often have to use our reading skills. Today, I’d like you to read this information and form your own opinion – you could even debate it with someone else.
Then, I’d like you to create a short poster or presentation (or anything else you can think of) to put forward your viewpoint.
Y5,6 Topic
We are going to familiarise ourselves further on one of our protective characteristics with this black lives matter lesson. This is a large global movement supporting the lives of black people.
Why are we doing this?
In Scholes (Elmet) Primary School, we know that racism is never ok and is not tolerated. Black lives matter supports our values, and it is important we are aware with current issues around the world. Complete this video lesson.
Hi everyone
We hope you’re all OK and are managing to stay happy and healthy. It was a big day for Y5 yesterday as they found out which class they’ll be in next year – commiserations if you’re in Mrs Hogarth’s class again (it won’t be that bad!).
And Y6, thanks so much for the amazing response to sending in baby pictures. It’s going to be quite a big video so it will take some time for me to put it all together and edit it properly. I will make sure you have it before the end of next week!

Hi everyone
We hope you’re all happy, healthy and staying safe. We hope you’re all enjoying your home learning, too. The weather is going to be great today so why not get your home learning done nice and early and then try to enjoy the sunshine – if you can do safely (and whilst still observing social distancing).
Recently, someone in my class emailed me to say that they’ve really been enjoying reading. They had the idea that we could ask people for their book recommendations. I think this is a super idea. Send in your recommendations and we’ll post them on the class news section – I’ve heard several people talk about ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class‘ recently.

Today you are going to take your learning into your own hands. Choose an extract from a book, a newspaper article, or perhaps an online news report as your learning base. Once you have chosen this, read through it and create a RIC for others to answer.
If you could assemble your RIC base and questions on some form of word document or PowerPoint, that would be great. If not, that’s not a problem either! If you could email your finished tasks to your teacher, we can use them to share with each other and answer later on in the week. Good luck!
