Still life art
Children in 5/6 M enjoyed learning about how to cut fruit safely. They learnt the claw and tunnel technique. With adult supervision, children might like to practise this at home.
The claw. Fingers tips are kept away from the edge of the blade.
The tunnel. Hold the fruit at the side and place the knife through the tunnel.
KS2 Sports Day
Well done to all the children who made yesterday’s sports day such a success. The children showed great resilience and support for their class mates.
A huge thank you to parents for cheering on all the children.
Finally, year 6 children deserve our praise for organising and running the event.
Living and Learning – Being Healthy!
Wednesday 4 July
Today, our Y3/4 children researched, designed and created a healthy snack as part of our Being Healthy week. They tasted a selection of salad vegetables and put them into a wholemeal pitta pocket-yummy!
Healthy Week-rugby in the sun!
Our amazing 5*Sports coaches helped us with our rugby skills. Everyone had a fun time.
Keeping healthy!
We have been talking about how to keep fit and healthy. We talked about 5 things we can do;
- Eat healthily
- Exercise
- Sleep well
- Keep clean
- Drink lots of water.
Today, we have looked at eating healthily. We sorted foods into food we should eat every day and food we should only eat occasionally. We looked at a fruit juice carton and had some interesting conversations about if we can drink it every day or occasionally. We decided because it had lots of added sugar we can only drink it occasionally.
Then, we tasted different fruit. The children were fantastic at tasting new fruit they had never tried before! We tasted mango, lychee, passion fruit, pomegranate and persimmon.
Crucial Crew event
Year 6 children enjoyed learning about staying safe at Harrogate College today. There were several infomative workshops:
- Fire safety at home
- The Samaritans
- High voltage electricity
- Staying healthy
- The signs of domestic abuse
- Drug and alcohol awareness
- What to do if you smell gas
Daily Mile Challenge
Children continue to challenge themselves to run 10 laps of the playground as part of their 30 active minutes at school. Children are encouraged to match this with 30 more active minutes at home. Perhaps a game of football or a tennis match.
Keepy Uppy production
Today, we enjoyed a performance of Keep Uppy, presented by Tutti Frutti productions. The play told the story of a boy, Joey, who worshipped football. He dreamed about it, talked about it and played it whenever he could. The show ignited children imaginations with the use of music, dance and visual effects. It made children think about their own passions and ambitions.
Returning books
Your child will be returning their library book to Scholes library on Tuesday 17th July. Please ensure your child brings their library book to school to return on time.
We will also shortly be asking children to return their books borrowed from the school library. Please start to return these to school.
Superstan!
Our final week of rehearsals are going well. The children know their lines, the choir know the songs, props are in progress and the choreographer has worked really hard on the songs and fight scenes!
Our director, Mr Lindsay, is just putting the finishing touches to the acting. We can’t wait for next weeks performances!
