Summer challenge
If you visit anywhere over the summer (this could be for a day trip or longer) please could you collect a postcard from the place you have
visited? Bring it into school in September (or post it to school) and these will then contribute to your child’s learning in September.
Thank you

Living and Learning-All Change!
We’ve had a wonderful last week together, finished off with an amazing beach party! Enjoy your Summer!
Beach Party 20 July 2018
To celebrate the end of another fantastic year we are planning to hold a ‘Beach Party’ on Friday 20th July. Your child can come to school dressed in their own clothes (please make sure they are suitable to wear all day) and can bring along a snack and drink which they can have at the party. We are hoping to have some water fun so all children are welcome to bring swim wear and water pistols! A towel to get dried with is essential. The children are also welcome to bring any outdoor play equipment eg: bats, balls, hula hoops, footballs, frisbees, inflatables etc. As always, if you could name as many items as possible that would be really helpful (don’t send anything too precious!). Don’t forget drinks and hats and to apply suncream before school, particularly if it is a warm day.
Fingers crossed for sunshine!
Golden Stars
Well done to our most recent golden stars.
Living and Learning – I can cope with change
Children met their new teachers for September this week. They had a full morning of activities with their new class and came back happy and smiling.
We talked about the emotions we felt (teachers included) and how we could deal with them. We recognised that feeling apprehensive or worried was ok and normal and that those feelings don’t last forever.
The children talked openly about their feelings and are very much looking forward to new challenges in September.
I was scared at first but it was ok when I got there.
It was awesome. I loved going on the big playground.
I was apprehensive and then excited.
Wake Up Shake Up Show
What a great way to end the year. The Scholes WUSU Crew showcased their commitment to keeping fit through dance (and having fun). Thank you to Miss Pennock too for putting in the time and effort to prepare and run these classes.

Healthy Week- Skipping Challenge.
Here is just a snippet of our skipping. How many skips can you do in one minute? Could you challenge yourself to beat that score? All of KS1 have repeated this challenge throughout the week. It’s been a highlight for lots of the children. 
Healthy Week-Daily Mile
We have been running our daily mile around the school playground. Here are 2KL with some eager faces. (We did stagger our starts after the photo was taken).
