Whole school ‘Quiz of the Week’

Posted on Wednesday 27 May 2020 by Mrs Latham

If you’re struggling to keep yourself entertained this week…why not have a go at our whole school quiz?

Summer half-term activities

Posted on Sunday 24 May 2020 by Reception team

We know that it’s the summer half-term break, but in these unprecedented times we thought that we’d continue to post some ideas of  activities that you can do at home, if you choose to do so.

This will be the only post for the week. During this time, you can still send emails – we would love to hear about what you get up to!

The most important message is to have fun as a family. Read together, play outside, bake, garden, watch a movie, sing and dance. Check out these den building ideas for inspiration!

You might also want to look at the ‘100 things to do inside’ by Shonette Bason.

Get creative with Hello HipHop

Posted on Saturday 23 May 2020 by Mrs Latham

We have been keeping in touch with Phil from Hello HipHop. He has created some blank lettering for our school name and a guide showing how to do some different effects.

It would be nice to have some of your ideas to display on the website and in school. If you would like, you can print this blank lettering and add effects or you can create your own ‘Scholes’ graffiti art with your own lettering. Send your ideas to Y2scholeshomework@spherefederation.org

Get creative!
