Whole school ‘Quiz of the Week’
If you’re struggling to keep yourself entertained this week…why not have a go at our whole school quiz?
Summer half-term activities
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
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!
Week 9 – A message from your teachers
Over the last 8 weeks we have enjoyed seeing your pictures and sharing them on the class news. This week, we would like to share some pictures of us with you.
During the week we keep ourselves busy by planning, recording lessons and answering your lovely emails but at the weekend we like to take a break and spend time with our family, doing the things we love.
Mrs Palmer has been painting and decorating and enjoying walks in the sunshine.
Mrs Myers has been busy in her garden. She is growing lots of fruit and vegetables.
Mrs Flynn has been sewing in the garden.
Mrs Kirby has been busy making decorations for a cake.
Miss Hulme has been busy doing some mindfulness colouring.
Have a lovely half term and please email (scholesf2@spherefederation.org) a picture of your child doing something they enjoy. We are making something special to share with you all 🙂
A fantastic storyteller…
Lorien has re-told the story ‘The Gruffalo’ using props. We really enjoyed listening to it and thought you would too!
