The Ridiculous Rhyme Show at Scholes!
We were very lucky to have C.Beebies Ridiculous Rhyme Show come to school today.
We laughed out loud lots! The two actors, from the YouTube channel – The Ridiculous Rhyme Show, were incredibly funny, talented and made us think about our which words rhyme and how to make a rhyme.
Making our Treehouses
And they’re off!
We set the children off on their practical activity this week of making their treehouses out of wood.
We measured, sawed, glued, cut, stuck … and waited patiently.
We worked together …
Look how carefully we out our pieces together!
We took a safe risk … sawing is fun!
We concentrated hard. Hopefully, they’ll be ready for painting and decorating tomorrow.
To melt or not to melt!
Science this week involved some hands. But not as you know them…these were ice hands! The children investigated through observation, touch and discussion what happens when water changes from solid to liquid.
They measured the temperature of the water and noticed the changes as they happened.
….and observed the changing of state from ice to water.
The interesting class and group discussions around how water can be changed from a liquid, solid or gas then changed back again was fantastic.
It was a very ‘hands on’ investigation! We all got a bit wet but it was very exciting.
Year 3/4 Trip to Go Ape
What an exciting start it has been for the Year 3/4 children !
Last week, all of our lower key stage children went to Go Ape, Temple Newsam. The purpose of the trip was not only to build self esteem, take safe risks and challenge ourselves, but also to experience being surrounded by trees, which is our DT topic this term (treehouses).
ALDI sticker collection
Aldi have launched a sticker collection scheme that we are hoping to benefit from. Please bring any stickers you collect into school. There is a collection bucket in the entrance. Thank you.
Living and Learning : I can illustrate happy and healthy choices.
Our whole school homework produced some super examples, including songs, posters, games, a cow (to show a lactose intolerance) and lots of discussions. Children illustrated how they make healthy choices about food, exercise and sleep.
Living and Learning – Making healthy choices
We talked about healthy choices for different parts of our body and discussed this in our groups. Then, we jotted our ideas down on the figure of a person.
We talked about the link between mental and physical health. We finished off by watching a clip showing how food is made to look better than it really is, and how it gets a makeover to make you want to buy it.
The children were very engaged in this topic.

Living and Learning – human life cycle
Week 3 of our Relationships and Sex education looks at the stages of the human life cycle. During our Living and Learning sessions, children have learned about growing from young to old and that they are also growing and changing.
We also discussed:
- key stages in the human life cycle
- some ways that we have changed since
we were babies - that all living things including humans
start life as babies
