Beach Party 20 July 2018
To celebrate the end of another fantastic year we are planning to hold a ‘Beach Party’ on Friday 20th July. Your child can come to school dressed in their own clothes (please make sure they are suitable to wear all day) and can bring along a snack and drink which they can have at the party. We are hoping to have some water fun so all children are welcome to bring swim wear and water pistols! A towel to get dried with is essential. The children are also welcome to bring any outdoor play equipment eg: bats, balls, hula hoops, footballs, frisbees, inflatables etc. As always, if you could name as many items as possible that would be really helpful (don’t send anything too precious!). Don’t forget drinks and hats and to apply suncream before school, particularly if it is a warm day.
Fingers crossed for sunshine!
Year 6 celebration afternoon
Year 6 and staff shared a fantastic afternoon playing on an inflatable assault course and in a laser quest pod. What a brilliant way to end a terrific year!

Well done to our most recent golden stars.
The Amazing Adventures of Superstan
Children in year 5/6 have had a busy week; three performances of their end of year show.
Living and Learning – I can cope with change
Children met their new teachers for September this week. They had a full morning of activities with their new class and came back happy and smiling.
We talked about the emotions we felt (teachers included) and how we could deal with them. We recognised that feeling apprehensive or worried was ok and normal and that those feelings don’t last forever.
The children talked openly about their feelings and are very much looking forward to new challenges in September.
I was scared at first but it was ok when I got there.
It was awesome. I loved going on the big playground.
I was apprehensive and then excited.
Teddy Bear’s Picnic
Teddy Bear’s Picnic
Monday 16th July 12.30-2.30 pm
- If your child is moving to Reception in September and they don’t attend Nursery on a Monday afternoon, they are welcome to join us from 12.30pm-2.30pm. Please bring them to the Nursery door and sign them in as usual and you can collect them at home time, which is 2.30pm.
- Children can wear summery clothes and bring their favourite teddy.
- We will provide picnic food that the children are going to help make in the morning. They have told us all the things that they would like, including honey sandwiches for the bears and some watermelon. Children will have lunch as usual at Nursery.
- Thank you for your donations towards to the cost of the picnic food. If you’d still like to contribute, there’s a bowl in the Nursery entrance.
Living and Learning – I cope with change
Friday 13 July
Yesterday, our children all met their new teachers for September. They had a full morning of activities with their new class and came back buzzing with enthusiasm.
Today, during our Living and Learning circle time, we talked about the emotions we felt and how we could deal with them, ranging from worry and frustration to excitement and relief. The children were quick to acknowledge that they experienced a whole range of emotions as it was hard to identify just one.
The children could talk openly about their feelings and are very much looking forward to the change in September.
Four Square
After reading about the game of four square in our class novel (Wonder), the children wanted to find out more. Now they’re hooked.
Debate- Should footballers be role models?
Today in 3/4N, during our reading session, we debated: Should footballers be considered role models? After reading information provided by FirstNews , the children were ready with arguments for and against. During the debate, all the children respectfully listened to the opposite side, used information to inform their viewpoints and put forward logical viewpoints.
Wake Up Shake Up Show
What a great way to end the year. The Scholes WUSU Crew showcased their commitment to keeping fit through dance (and having fun). Thank you to Miss Pennock too for putting in the time and effort to prepare and run these classes.
