Sports coaching
We enjoyed a special PE session today with the 5/6 children coaching our 1/2 children. We used the track for racing, hurdles and agility ladders, tennis, cricket, football and javelin.
Peace Party
Year 5/6 would like to say a huge thank you to the Scholes community for making the Peace Party such a memorable event. The children enjoyed making origami cranes, decorating boxes, creating peace book marks, playing games outside, writing to a pen pal and learning about geography through games and quizzes.
At home, you might like to discuss and research Peace Parties and how they relate to our society today.
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.

Whole school sports roundabout
Our whole school sports roundabout is a chance for all children to work together, in teams, showcasing their sporting skills. The mixed aged teams encourage children to work together, supporting and encouraging each other. Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to show their support.
Super sunny sports day
The Key Stage 2 children enjoyed a fantastic competitive sports event on Friday. Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to offer their support. It is much appreciated.
Living and learning
5/6 SK discussed telling the truth this week. They talked about how they felt when someone isn’t honest with them.
“I’d feel let down.”
“I’d be upset.”
They looked at different scenarios and discussed whether telling the truth would be easy or hard in these situations. They decided that telling lies weakens a friendship and saying sorry, and showing we are sorry we’re both important in repairing a relationship.
Year 6 Enterprise
Year 6 would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents and carers, who attended their mini summer fair yesterday. Although the money is still to be counted, the event was a big success with plenty of smiles all round.
Wetherby High Taster Day
The Year 5’s got to experience a wonderful day at Wetherby High School. They took part in a range of lessons and met lots of the staff and pupils. PE gave the children the opportunity to play Basketball, Science allowed them to carry out experiments that included different substances and even explosions! They even got to taste the canteen food. They were praised by the staff for their lovely manners throughout the day- well done!
