1,2V were visited by 5,6C this week so we could share what we had learnt during our Explorers topic. It was great having a real audience to share, discuss and reflect on learning.

Magic Maths Facts
We’re working really hard learning our maths facts. You can support your child at home by helping your child to learn these facts ‘by heart’. Creating a little quiz, testing each other or using a timer to increase recall at speed can make this fun too.
Well done to our Golden Star.
Scholes Village Show Winners
Well done to the children who were awarded prizes from the annual Scholes Village Show. It’s a highlight of the community calendar.

School Council
The newly elected School Council have been given their badges by Miss Parling (School Council leader) and are proudly wearing them. They have also taken part in their first decision as elected members. They voted on the type of fundraising the school will do for Children in Need on 17 November. It will be a non-uniform day with a suggested donation of £1.
School Council and Democracy Week
During Democracy Week (16-20 October 2017) pupils took part in the democratic process as they voted for their class representatives for School Council. Congratulations to the elected candidates and we hope they have a successful year representing the views of all the pupils in our school.
Amazing, astounding, adventurous Adjective Dress Up Day!
What an amazing day we had! Everyone had thought carefully about their adjective and been creative with their costumes. It brought grammar to life in year 1 and 2. We discussed synonyms and antonyms of different adjectives and grouped them accordingly.
We wrote about our own adjectives and also came up with silly sentences containing too many adjectives. Continue to talk about adjectives at home and encourage your child to use ambitious vocabulary; it’s fun to talk about the meaning of words! Try a challenge: can your child come up with three alliterative adjectives to describe something? (The title of this Class News post is an example to get you started!)

Well done to our Golden Star this week.
Strictly Flex Dancing!
All year 1 and 2 classes enjoyed learning new street dance routines taught by a dance teacher from Flex Dance. We used our agility, balance and coordination skills to great effect. We then performed our routines for each other!
