Welcome to Nursery
Welcome to Nursery! We’re looking forward to meeting our new families during our home visits this week. We can’t wait to see you and to begin to get to know each other.
So far this week, we’ve been busily getting Nursery ready for everyone to come and play. Today, we’ve been outside in the sunshine and rain, putting the finishing touches to our lovely new playground. We’ll post some photographs at the end of the week, so make sure you check our Class News page again at the weekend.
Next week, we’ll welcome our older children back to Nursery, too. Make sure you check your child’s transition letter for dates and times.
See you soon!
Getting to know each other
Welcome back to all the children in 5/6B. We’ve had a great day getting to know each other and finding out what everyone got up to in the holiday. I’ve bombarded the children with lots of information today about what the new school year will hold – I’m sure you’ll hear all about it. The children will have brought their new reading record book home – please check your child’s bag. Let’s get off to a great start by reading daily at home, this has such a huge impact on learning. Please record when your child reads and sign to say they have read. Your child will need these in school every Friday, but every day would be even better. Keep working hard on TTR at home also – keep those multiplication facts in the front of our heads!
Please feel free to ask any questions, or come and introduce yourself if we’ve never met. I’m looking forward to a happy and healthy year with 5/6B.
Welcome to Reception!
Welcome to Reception!
Lunch menus
Here are the lunch menus until February 2023. Children will be asked to choose each morning, if they are having a school lunch. Have a look through together so they are familiar with the choices.
PE days – when to wear PE kit?
We are continuing to wearing PE kit on PE days. On the days your child has PE, they should come to school in their school uniform PE kit. (Track-suit bottoms instead of shorts would be good on colder days. Footwear : black/brown/grey/white flat shoes which are safe to run around in.)
Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a plain ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.
Here is a link to our uniform policy.
- 1A (Miss Lowry) – Thursday (swimming) and Friday
- 1,2B (Mrs Latham) – Thursday and Friday (swimming)
- 2C (Miss Young) – Tuesday (swimming) and Friday
Swimming lessons will not take place in the first week. Children will need their swimming kit from week beginning 12 September.
Welcome Back!
Hello and welcome back!
Where has the summer gone? Whatever you’ve been up to, we hope you’ve had a brilliant time!
On Tuesday, we return to school. Here’s some key information that you may need.
What should my child wear to school?
You can look on our school website for our school uniform and PE kit policy. We typically have spare, clean items of uniform, including PE kit, for children to change into if they’re not wearing the items set out in this policy.
Your child should wear PE kit on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
What does my child need to bring into school?
Children should bring a bag to school everyday. In the first week, they will have the opportunity to take a library book home and a book chosen by their class teacher.
Children should also have a filled water bottle (only water please) and perhaps a sun hat and sun cream if it’s a sunny day.
School will provide all the stationery. Children should not bring their own equipment. They will be asked to keep it at home. I hope you’ll understand that this will help to reduce any issues that this might cause in school.
Who are the key adults in Y3,4?
3,4A – Mrs Patterson & Mr Goodwin
3,4B – Mr Catherall, Mrs Wilkins & Mrs Thorn
3,4C – Mrs Wadsworth, Mrs McCormick & Mrs Kirby
We’re all looking forward to another successful year! In the meantime, if you have any questions, please get in touch.

Welcome back
Only a few days before we’re back together! We hope you have all had a great summer.
Have a look here at our school uniform and PE kit policy. We will have spare, clean items of uniform, including PE kit, for children to change into if they’re not wearing the items set out in this policy. It helps us feel part of our school community if everyone follows the same rules.
Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a plain ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.
Children should also have a filled water bottle (only water please) and a sun hat and sun cream, if it’s a sunny day.
Children can wear PE kit on both PE and swimming days (if swimming is cancelled for any reason, we will do PE instead). The days that children should wear PE kit can been seen below :
- 1A (Miss Lowry) – Thursday (swimming) and Friday
- 1,2B (Mrs Latham) – Thursday and Friday (swimming)
- 2C (Miss Young) – Tuesday (swimming) and Friday
We’ll send more information about reading books next week.
Welcome back!
I know most parents are probably asking themselves, “Do they have to go back to school so soon?” All good things must come to an end.
The Year 5/6 team are really excited to be welcoming you back to Scholes this year. We’ve got lots of fun activities planned such as bikeability, a new residential and some other trips which you’ll find out about during the year.
This week you might be frantically looking around for school uniform, lunch boxes, water bottles and PE kit.

In year 5/6, parents can choose to allow their child to walk home without an adult.
Let’s make this a year to remember.

September 2022 : Who works in my class?
Here are some posters showing you the adults in each class in Key Stage 1 (years 1 and 2).
Have a great holiday!
We say it every year, but where did this year go? Time flies! We had a great final week in Nursery, eating ice-creams, dancing in the bubbles and paddling our feet to help keep us cool!
We’d like to say thank you to everyone for your kind words, cards and end of year gifts. It’s been lovely to watch your children learn and grow this year and we know that they’ll have a great time in Reception.
Have a fantastic summer holiday.
