Living and Learning
This week the children have been thinking about how to show they’re ready to learn. Firstly they set some ground rules that would be used in each lesson- they felt this was very important. In groups the children came up with different ways they can show that they are ready to learn.
‘Eyes on the speaker.’
‘Not interrupting when others are speaking.’
They also discussed how to respond in a positive way to feedback in school, whether this was linked to learning or their behaviour. A good start to the year!
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.
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.

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.
