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.
Second week back
Everyone is settling in well and we have been working really hard. There is still always time to get active though. We’ve all enjoyed getting back into our Go Noodle activities and also working on our mindfulness techniques. We’ve also been learning the names of the oceans and continents through song. Have a go at home…
First week fun!
The year 1 and 2 children have settled back in to school beautifully. We have done some great learning already, including maths, reading, writing, living and learning, geography, PE and music.
Living & Learning-Classroom Rules.
This week we have thought about rules that make our classrooms really happy places. Each class has made their unique rules, signed them and displayed them within the classroom.
Following our weekly ethos statement: we have been actively greeting people politely wherever we go.
We have also been ‘Ready to learn’ which is one of the eight ‘R’s’ we will be looking at this half term.
Well done KS1, a fabulous first week back!
A new start in Years 1 and 2 – September 2018
There were a variety of emotions as we started back at school this week – apprehension, nerves and excitement to name a few! The Year 1 and 2 children were full of stories from the Summer holidays and settled in well to their new classes. There are some quotes below from children about their first day.
- ‘I like learning and writing at the table.’
- ‘I like my new table.’
- ‘I like seeing my friends from different classes in phonics.’
- ‘I like seeing everyone at playtime.’
- ‘This is fun maths game.’
- ‘What a great first day in Year 2!’
- ‘I loved the Five Star Sports PE lesson and my favourite bit was when I was nearly top banana.’
