Living and Learning: Democracy
At Scholes, we democratically voted for our school councillors during the last week of term.
Here are our new school council representatives.
We look forward to their enthusiasm and leadership qualities.
Homework – memorise and perform a poem
We had some wonderful recitals of poems children had been learning this week in our homework review sessions. Being able to remember or memorise things is a useful skill for all children.
Living and learning : democracy, pupil voice and School Council elections
The children took part in the School Council elections today. Everyone had a chance for their ‘voice’ to be heard and cast their vote. Well done to the children who were elected and will represent us for the next year.
Science with socks…
This week’s science lesson, we tried to find out which sock was the stretchiest. We worked scientifically to measure the socks before and after stretching and talked about how we could find out which was the stretchiest. The children love science and always have lots of ideas, suggestions and opinions when we are investigating.
Amazing art topic
Our topic this half term has had an art focus. We are reading The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton and the children have become fascinated with trees. We observed them closely on our walk around Scholes and learnt some tips on how to draw them. This week, we have been learning about how to give pictures texture and made our own tree collages.
Year 1 Bikeability – success!
The Year 1 children have had some balance bike and then pedal bike training (with no stabilisers) this week, deliverd by the Leeds Bikeability Team. By the end of the week 38 out of 45 children (a whopping 84% ) can now ride their bikes! Everyone worked really hard; persevering, showing resilience and determination. Well done – we are very proud of you!
Golden Star
Well done to our most recent Golden Star.
Harvest assembly
We were amazed at how much food and toiletries we managed to collect for St George’s Crypt. Thank you for your contribution.
Keeping safe on bikes – Year 1 bike training
The bikeability training is going well – even in the rain! Lots of children have moved from balance bikes to pedal bikes and are proud to be riding them without stabilisers. Our trainer, Danny, is really pleased with the behaviour and progress of the children.
Ridiculous Rhyme Show
We had a great time watching (and joining in with) the Ridiculous Rhyme Show today.
We laughed, danced, sang and thought about which words rhyme and how to make a rhyme.
