PE and secret maths
1,2V enjoyed an outdoor PE lesson, making use of the new basketballs. There was also some ‘secret’ maths included – counting in 10s as you bounce your ball to your partner.
Living and Learning- Resourceful and Resilient
This week, we’ve been thinking about the resourceful squirrel and the resilient tortoise. We’ve made posters to help us remember the ‘8Rs’ that we have discussed so far. Can you remember which animal goes with which learning skill?
Year 1 reading meeting
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to the Year 1 reading meeting tonight. The presentation can be downloaded here. The other resources will be sent home in your child’s book bag.
Active Maths
We like to learn outdoors in Key Stage 1. Today, 2KL were continuing our indoor learning about tens and ones with an outdoor lesson on the playground 100 square.
Help at home! Talk about how many tens and ones are in numbers. For example, find out how many tens and ones make up your age, house number, the date or shoe size.
2 tens and 8 ones
2KL Join in
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to 2KL’s join-in this afternoon. The class were learning about making sensible predictions in science, linked to the 5 senses.
The lavender was a really strong smell.
The dried fruit (dates) looked like a slug!
I guessed what all the instruments were.
Gold Star and postcard competition winners
Well done to our most recent golden star and our two winners in the postcard competition!
Living and Learning – Taking safe risks and responsibility for learning
Our Living and Learning this week has revolved around taking safe risks and taking responsibility for our own learning.
We went on a walk around Scholes which involved some element of risk: crossing roads and walking down muddy tracks. Instead of just telling children to ‘be careful’, encourage them to think about risks and consequences and ‘risk assess’ for themselves.
We’ve also talked about how we are responsible for our own learning, including being organised in class and using learning time effectively.
Walk around Scholes – our first trip out
We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip of the year today. Ninety children, thirty adults and three class mascots (Cupcake, Spike and Nutkin) invaded Scholes and walked over three miles around the village. We looked for good places to hide our rocks that we had painted in school as part of the ‘Barwick and Scholes Rocks’ game. As well as exploring our local environment, we had some lovely conversations with the grown ups who volunteered their time to accompany us. Thank you!

1,2V Join-in Monday
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came into school for 1,2V’s Join-in Monday. We designed and painted rocks to hide as part of the ‘Barwick and Scholes Rocks’ game. We also went on a 3 mile walk later in the week and hid them along the way!
Gold stars
Well done to our first 2 golden stars.
