This week, staff have been in school, busily getting Nursery ready to open soon. We can’t wait to welcome our older children back and to also welcome our new families.

Wearing PE kit to school – which days?
Hopefully you have read the information in the Autumn for all – Key Info Scholes, which also has a link to our uniform policy.
On the days your child has PE, they should come to school in their 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 ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.
Please find below the days each class has allocated PE times, which will be taught outdoors, except in extreme weather.
- F2 Sunshine and F2 Rainbow (Miss Parling & Mrs Allen-Kelly/Mrs Wilkins) – Wednesday & Friday from week beginning 28 September
- 1KN (Miss Lowry/Mrs Lake) – Monday & Friday
- 1,2V (Mrs Latham) – Thursday & Friday
- 2C (Mr Gathercole) – Monday & Thursday
- 3,4N (Mrs Wadsworth) – Tuesday & Wednesday
- 3,4E (Mrs McCormick) – Tuesday & Thursday
- 3,4O (Mr Catherall) – Monday & Tuesday
- 5,6S (Mrs Hogarth) – Tuesday & Wednesday
- 5,6M (Mr Lindsay) – Wednesday & Friday

Summer activities
As we end a very unusual year in Foundation 2 we would like to say a huge thank you for all your support in this years home learning journey. We have seen some fantastic home learning and have really enjoyed keeping in touch with families via email and phone calls.
We will miss our fantastic Sunshine and Rainbow classes and wish everyone good luck for their new journey in Year 1. We are proud of each and every one of you and we have enjoyed every minute of being part of your learning journey!
We’re so pleased to hear that so many of you have enjoyed the home learning activities these past months. Here are some summer activities we thought you may enjoy doing. We hope you have a fantastic summer!
Have a great summer!
What a year it has been! It’s certainly not a school year that we will forget. We’re sorry that we’ve been unable to finish our year together, but we hope that you’ve all enjoyed some extra family time where possible. Thank you, again, for all of your emails with regular updates and photographs of your home learning. We have loved reading each and every one of them.
Instead of being sad on our last day of term, we thought that we’d enjoy looking back on all of the fun and learning that we managed to fit in before we had to close in such exceptional circumstances in March. We hope that you enjoy watching today’s video and spot a few of your friends.
Yellow group – We’re looking forward to seeing you return to Nursery in September! We can’t wait to welcome you back.
Red, Green and Blue group – For those of you that are returning to Foundation 2 at Scholes, we’ll pop into your new classrooms to say ‘hello’ and see how you’re all settling in. Whilst it’s going to be a little bit different to Nursery, we know that you’ll recognise lots of familiar places to play and you’ll soon love it! There’ll be lots of your old friends there to play with and some new ones, too. If you are leaving us to start Foundation 2 at a new school, we’d like to say ‘good bye and good luck’! We wish you all the best in your new school and we know that you’ll have a great time. If you’re not too busy, let us know how you’re getting on in September or send us a photo of you in your new uniform!
Wishing you all a happy, fun and hopefully, sunny summer holiday. For one last time this year – have fun!

Teddy bear’s picnic
Those of you that had chance to have a Teddy bear’s picnic inside, or in between the rain showers, told us that you really enjoyed it. We were pleased to hear that you joined in with making sandwiches and counted out the correct number of items for everybody. Well done!
Finally, for anyone who needs any other ideas to keep you busy during the holidays, here are a couple of suggestions.
- Look at the previous post about independence – these are very important skills and will be especially beneficial to your child whether returning to Nursery or starting Reception.
- There are several ideas and links listed in this bank of Summer activities.

Reading
It can be sad saying goodbye. Sometimes it helps to write it down.
Write a farewell letter to someone. It could be your teacher, a friend or anyone you like.
You need to include:
Dear …
What you enjoyed doing with them.
Who it is from.
