School’s out for summer!

Thank you, children, for all your hard work, and thank you parents and carers, for all your support. Have a lovely summer and maybe have a go at this bingo game!

Beach Party

What a day! We’ve had a fantastic fun-filled day at our beach themed party. There were games, inflatables, dancing, bubbles, chalking and a water fight. There was not much sun, but we didn’t care, we had so much fun!

WUSU Crew 2022

The two Wake Up Shake Up (WUSU) after school clubs have been running this year, after a break during the pandemic. It is great fun keeping active through dance and we have enjoyed making new routines to teach the rest of school. The whole school takes an active break at 10 o clock each day; dancing, running or skipping to contribute towards the NHS guidelines of 60 active minutes each day.

Scholes in Bloom – winning design

A group of children went out to meet the Britain in Bloom judges today. The winning designer of the Scholes in Bloom competition was there and everyone admired the planted design in the flowerbed outside school. It looks fabulous!

Design Technology – perfect puppets

We have absolutely loved our design technology topic this half term. Sewing has turned into a new-found favourite past time for so many children! The finale of the topic was comparing and evaluating our designs to our finished products. I’m sure you are as impressed as we were with our puppets. The children can’t wait to bring them home to play with and show their families.

Skipping School

We had a fabulous time with Jodi and Katie from Skipping School this week. Promoting fitness through fun is always high on our agenda and skipping is the perfect way to do this. We are committed to promote the NHS recommendations that children and young people aged 5 to 18 should:

• aim for an average of at least 60 minutes of moderate or vigorous intensity physical activity a day across the week
• take part in a variety of types and intensities of physical activity across the week to develop movement skills, muscles and bones

If you would like a skipping rope, we have some for sale in the office. 

Living and learning : RSE

Our Living and learning lessons for the next few weeks are all about families and relationships. We have talked about how each of our families are different and are made up of different people and sometimes across different households too. Lots of children shared how many people were in their family and could talk about their special people.
