Sport Relief – take two
We joined in with Sport Relief again today. Each class completed their own sport challenges – trying to improve personal best scores in skipping, basketball, running and football. Thank you for all the donations to this charity.
Watching bread -science
Just over a week ago we started a long term experiment, observing bread. We did different things to each slice.
Slice 1 : untouched, straight in the bag
Slice 2 : touched with dirty hands
Slice 3 : touched after we washed hands with soap and water
Slice 4 : touched after putting anti-bacterial hand gel on hands
We discussed what we thought would happen. Lots of children thought the bread touched with dirty hands would go mouldy first because there would be more germs on it. Here is what the bread looks like 10 days later…
Thank you for helping us help Sport Relief
We started our Sport Relief fundraising a week early because we were expecting BBC Look North coming to launch the Big Summit Sofa challenge. Unfortunately, we were let down and they postponed the event at the last minute last night. We are resilient and resourceful at Scholes though and were determined to make it a happy and healthy day anyway. We completed nearly an hour of Wake Up Shake Up routines and raised £219.24 for Sport Relief. Thank you to everyone who sent contributions in and to the people who came to watch and support us!
World Book Day – so much reading all week!
We have celebrated World Book Day all week by reading, reading and reading! The children shared some wonderful Creative homework showing what they love about reading.
We also listened to each other reading stories, shared lots of books, drew book covers and designed characters.
Wind in the Willows for World Book Day
We enjoyed a fabulous performance of Wind in the Willows by the Hobgoblin Theatre company. We have been reading the book and have done some super writing about the story and characters.
Golden Star
Well done to our most recent Golden Star.
POSTPONED – Big Sofa Summit for Sport Relief 6 March
We have had a message from the BBC tonight saying,
We have taken the difficult decision to postpone the Big Summit Sofa Challenge until later in the year. Our role is to deliver our audience the best possible coverage and to do that we need every member of our team on duty.
We are all so disappointed but we will still be dressing in our sports kits and raising money for Sport Relief by doing an extended Wake Up Shake Up dance-athon session as one of our sports challenges. Feel free to come and watch from 9am.
Living and Learning : I can say something good about myself
In our Living and Learning sessions this week, we have been talking about saying something good about ourselves. We have started to learn the Paloma Faith song, Make Your Own Kind of Music, because the words made us think about being true to yourself, making your own decisions and following your own dreams.
But you gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along
Support the Big Summit Sofa Challenge for Sport Relief – Friday 6 March
The excitement is building for the launch of the Big Summit Sofa Challenge that the Look North presenters are doing for Sport Relief 2020. The starting point this year is our school, Scholes (Elmet) Primary! Harry Gration, Amy Garcia and Paul Hudson from BBC Look North will join in with Wake Up Shake Up as their warm-up at 9.30am.
Each class is planning their own sports challenge and children are invited to come to school in their sports kit, in exchange for a contribution to Sport Relief.
The BBC television cameras will also be in school to film us and talk to as many people as they can – some may even feature on the news that night.
They have asked that we encourage as many parents, family and friends to stay after they have dropped children off in the morning, so please feel free to show your support and join in with the fun!
See you on Friday!
Living and Learning : I cover my mouth when I yawn, cough or sneeze
This is quickly becoming a habit with most children, helping us to reduce the spread of germs.
