Off to a flying start!
Our class Novel, After the Fall, has been a super hit with the children. In the book, Humpty Dumpty makes a paper bird aeroplane – so we wanted to do the same!
We asked some great scientific questions:
Dolly asked: “How do planes fly?”
Sam asked: “Would paper planes fly further with heavier paper?”
Sadie asked: “If we could make a giant paper aeroplane, would it fly as far?”
Why not ask the children what we found out from our investigation. Perhaps, make more paper planes – test them out to see which one flies the furthest.
Enjoy your weekend and look forward to seeing you on Monday!
Wearing PE kit to school – which days?
Hopefully you have read the information in the Autumn for all – Key Info Scholes, which also has a link to our uniform policy.
On the days your child has PE, they should come to school in their PE kit. (Track-suit bottoms instead of shorts would be good on colder days. Footwear : black/brown/grey/white flat shoes which are safe to run around in.)
Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.
Please find below the days each class has allocated PE times, which will be taught outdoors, except in extreme weather.
- F2 Sunshine and F2 Rainbow (Miss Parling & Mrs Allen-Kelly/Mrs Wilkins) – Wednesday & Friday from week beginning 28 September
- 1KN (Miss Lowry/Mrs Lake) – Monday & Friday
- 1,2V (Mrs Latham) – Thursday & Friday
- 2C (Mr Gathercole) – Monday & Thursday
- 3,4N (Mrs Wadsworth) – Tuesday & Wednesday
- 3,4E (Mrs McCormick) – Tuesday & Thursday

Super Art
I just wanted to share some fantastic art work that Dasha from Y3/4EV has produced during her home learning time. These are some beautiful pieces of watercolour artwork. We knew she had a talent but these are just stunning – well done, Dasha.
Here are some colourful patterns of leaves also done by Dasha.

Never Forget
We’re nearly at the end of this crazy year.
It’s been a long time but we’re not too sure where we’ve been.
We’ve had good times …
Do you know what? I’ll let Take That say the rest.

We’ve had some super efforts from the maths puzzles and problems this week.
Here are some of your results from square corners challenge:
Alfie found a way using 10 counters (below) without making 4 corners of a square…
And another, different way …
