Whole school sports roundabout
Our whole school sports roundabout is a chance for all children to work together, in teams, showcasing their sporting skills. The mixed aged teams encourage children to work together, supporting and encouraging each other. Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to show their support.
Living and Learning : relationships
We have be talking about being aware of how our words and actions make other people feel. This video about Sneetches can spark lots of discussion. We talked about how we feel if other people say things that hurt our feelings and what we could say instead.

Living and Learning-I know the difference between laughing with someone and laughing at them.
What a great thing to discuss and be mindful of! KS1 are very impressive to talk to about their Living and Learning skills. Maybe you could ask them their views on this statement. Here are a few shining stars who can be relied upon to model exemplary behaviour and attitudes towards others.
Year 6 Enterprise
Year 6 would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents and carers, who attended their mini summer fair yesterday. Although the money is still to be counted, the event was a big success with plenty of smiles all round.
Living and Learning – RSE (PANTS)
As part of our school’s RSE (Relationship and Sex Education) curriculum, the Year 1 and 2 children have revisited our learning about the Underwear (PANTS) rule. The NSPCC have developed a friendly dinosaur, Pantosaurus, who talks about PANTS. It is a simple way to teach children about how to stay safe from abuse.
Today’s the day the teddy bears had their picnic!
The rain didn’t put us off! After enjoying our class novel so much, we had a Teddy Bear’s Picnic to celebrate. Teddy Robinson (our class novel text) would’ve been proud. We moved the tables and chairs and had our picnic inside.
Listening, sharing and supporting
The Year 2 children have been super supportive helping their Year 1 counterparts with phonics. They have enjoyed showing what they know and helping the Year 1s prepare for the Phonics Screen this week. Thank you Year 2s!
Scholes Gala 2019 – WUSU, Pop Choir and Skipping Crew
Scholes Gala was a rather wet affair this year but our children still did us proud. The WUSU dancers strutted their stuff, Pop Choir sang their hearts out and the skippers jumped with smiles on their faces! Well done and thank you to everyone who came to show their support.
Living and Learning: Relationships Education
Thank you to those parents and carers who attended the recent relationships education information sessions.
‘A useful session to find out what my child will be learning and when.’
‘Lots of helpful information.’
‘Very helpful to understand what vocabulary the children will be learning.’
These sessions were aimed at making parents and carers more aware of some of the following aspects of our curriculum.
- What is our Living and Learning curriculum?
- What does relationships education currently look like throughout school?
- What is included in our Relationships and Sex Education policy?
Relationships education forms part of our Living and Learning for this half term and if you were unable to attend the session, our progression of learning (pg10) and the terminology (pg6) that may be used as part of this learning can be found in our RSE policy.
Science – pea planting
All the children have planted peas this week and are excitedly waiting for them to start growing. Who will grow the tallest pea shoot?
