Dog’s Trust Visit
We have found out about all about the great work that the Dog’s Trust do to care for and rehome dogs.
It was interesting to learn about a day in the life of a dog at the centre.
We also got taught some great ways to keep safe around dogs to make us and the dog feel safe when playing, feeding or stroking a dog.
Did you know the dogs at the Dog’s Trust even go to dog school?
They learn tricks and skills to help them become great pets for their new owners.
The Leeds centre rehomed 876 dogs last year. The money you help our school raise will help them to continue to support and care for the dogs, buy toys, blankets, beds and important medicine and treatment.
School Council visit the Dog’s Trust
18 excited school council members visited the Leeds Dog’s Trust centre.
We were guided though the centre with a look behind the scenes.
The staff at the Dog’s Trust were very grateful for our first donation of £517!
Thank you to everyone that donated on our recent film night.
School Council Film Night
What a fabulous film night we had yesterday!
With your support, we raised over £500 for the Dog’s Trust.
The film last night was so good!
I liked eating the popcorn.
It was great because I got to sit with my friends.
I hope it becomes a regular event.
Living and Learning: I know what a drug is
All the Year 3/4 children had a visitor, Ruth from D:side (an education healthcare provider), come in to talk to us about drugs and alcohol today. We learnt about the effects of drugs and alcohol on the brain and our bodies.
Scholes Peace Cards
In November last year, members of Scholes Parish Council came to visit our school during our Community Week. They worked with all of our children, from Year 1 through to Y6 on a range of creative activities.
They talked to the children about the Scholes Peace Flame and their roles in the community.
The councillors were so impressed with our artwork, and are pleased to announce that six of our children have their peace designs made into cards – Harry, Emilia, Esme, Dolly, Olivia and Archie from Y1/2V.
If you would like to buy a set of 6 peace cards, then they are available from the school office.
Keeping active – new gym fitness equipment
There was great excitement with the arrival of the new outdoor fitness equipment before Christmas. The wet weather slightly delayed the installation but it is now ready to use. Everyone wants a go!
This is part of our plan to increase physical activity undertaken within school. The UK Chief Medical Officers found that, “the latest evidence shows there is a clear link between physical activity and chronic disease.” We want children to be physically active for at least the Chief Medical Officer’s recommended 30 minutes during the school day, and this will help us to do this.
Merry Christmas!
Pop choir performed some songs for us this afternoon. The whole school then joined in with a Christmas sing-a-long. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…lunch!
We all enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch today prepared by our wonderful kitchen staff. The lunchtimes supervisors did a fantastic job (especially Mrs Pennock) decorating the hall too. Thank you!
School Council tree planting – thanks to Scholes in Bloom
We have planted another 120 trees from the Woodland Trust on the school grounds this week. Thank you to Scholes in Bloom and the School Council for helping to do this.
You can also see the Scholes in Bloom presentation here that children in school saw last week too. The village looks wonderful!
