KS1 football dates reminder
Dear parents,
This is just a quick reminder of the dates for 5 aside football for KS1. This is for the children that play semi-regularly at Fives in Seacroft.
Our next match day will be Monday 10th February 2025.
Thanks,
Miss Young 🙂
Living and learning
‘I know what a drug is’.
At school, our definition of a drug is something that alters our mind and/or our body. This week KS1 discussed what safe drugs are such as medicine and how we can ingest these safely.
We discussed several scenarios.
The children know that if they are feeling poorly or are hurt, the sensible thing to do is tell a trusted adult. It is not safe to take medicine without an adult.
Happy New Year from KS1!!
Happy new year to everyone!!
It has been a cold and disrupted start to the year but the children have maturely navigated all the changes to drop offs and pick ups this week. It has been wonderful to see them again after two weeks away and to hear all about what they’ve been getting up to. We’re very excited for the term ahead and we look forward to the rest of the year.
Stay safe in the ice and snow everyone and we wish you all a very happy new year!
Merry Christmas from 1,2B!
A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from 1,2B.
We had a blast at our party today. See you all in 2025!
Merry Christmas!
What a fantastic week we’ve had in 2C! We started the week off with some brilliant learning and then we moved into Christmas mode at the end of the week! See what we’ve been up to below!
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Miss Young and Mrs Rennison! Thank you so much for all the lovely cards and gifts xxx
Christmas inflatables!
Before our delicious Christmas lunch today, we went to the winter wonderland Christmas inflatable display created by Mrs Pennock and her crew. Thank you so much for this amazing spectacle for Christmas! We loved it.
Christmas Disco
We all had a blast at the Christmas Disco last week.
Please consider joining FOSP (Friends of Scholes Primary) – they’re always looking for new recruits to help organise special events like this!
We have been learning about materials this half term in Science. We know lots of different materials in their properties.
‘Fabric is usually soft and smooth.’
‘Wood is usually hard and strong. It comes from trees.’
‘Glass is a man-made material but it comes from sand which is a natural material.’
This week we conducted an experiment. We collected lots of recycling materials from home and built houses out of the materials. We then dropped a wooden brick on our houses, to see which materials were strongest.
Take a look at what we’ve been up to!
Design and Technology – Food
This week, 1,2B have been using their food preparation skills to create their latest product – fruit smoothies.
This forms part of our Design and Technology food learning which involves following a recipe to create a product each term.
The recipe was taken from this healthy eating website. We read it so we could understand the instructions before we made our smoothies.
First, we got ready to cook by washing our hands.
We used lots of different food preparation skills including peeling, chopping, measuring and pouring.
Then, the best part, children got to enjoy their smoothies.
We always evaluate our product afterwards to see how it could be changed next time. In a link to our learning about adjectives (words that add information about a noun), there were plenty of adjectives used to describe the smoothies – yummy, flavoursome, sweet, creamy and delicious.
Help at home by encouraging your child to demonstrate some of their food preparation skills by making this again at home, or a different smoothie recipe!
Topic – Art
This half term, we are learning about art – both practically and some art history too.
We are learning about Georges Seurat, who used pointillism (dots), and Bridget Riley, who is an optical artist (uses shapes, pattern and colour to create illusions).
We have created dots using cotton buds and bubble wrap and are beginning to use them as backgrounds to add shapes, exploring which colours go well together.
Help at home by talking about your preferences for certain artists or colours and shapes.
