Living and Learning: I see things from other people’s point of view.
Over the week, there have been many occasions for our children to think about someone else’s point of view. We have encouraged this and would like it to continue at home.
This might include helping others to resolve an issue, listening to a brother or sister’s point of view or even asking mum or dad about their day.
We have two ears and one mouth; we need to listen twice as much as we speak.
Enterprise Project
Year 6 held meetings today to discuss fundraising ideas for their end of year celebration. We can’t wait to announce the events in the next few days.
Green fingers? Help needed!
Scholes in Bloom judging day is Monday 6 August this year. If you are available and would like to join the effort for gold, please come and collect a plant from Mrs Myers or Mrs Latham. All you need to do is look after it and meet us at the flower bed outside school on judging day at 10am. If you prefer, you could make a ‘scarecrow’ and bring it on the same day. The theme is ‘all creatures great and small’. Hope to see you there!
Pupil Voice – Friendship Benches
School Council had a really tough time deciding which designs would be used to decorate our friendship benches.
There were some lovely messages and creative ideas used to make these benches feel a positive and inviting place to be.
These are the chosen designs.
I love the message – friends are like rainbows they brighten your day.
I think the colours will brighten up our playground.
It has a happy vibe.
It has nice vocabulary on it.
Scholes Gala – skippers and dancers
Thank you to our Y4 Skipping Crew and the Y1, Y2 and Y6 WUSU Crews who represented school so brilliantly at Scholes village gala.
Terrific Triathlon – fancy another go?
The Year 5 children experienced a competitive triathlon last month when they took part in the Brownlee Triathlon event at John Smeaton Sports Centre. They reported back that it was challenging and that they had to draw upon their Living and Learning skills – particularly risk-taking and resilience. The professional photos have just arrived and are brilliant. If you fancy trying more, there are details of sessions below or visit https://www.thebrownleefoundation.org/
Celebration assembly
Congratulations to all the children who received a certificate this afternoon. We’ve seen some fantastic progress, ideas and attitudes in our learning this week.
Scholes Gala and Scholes in Bloom
Please come and support our Skipping Crew and WUSU Crew at Scholes Gala this Saturday, 9 June 2018. We would also like as many children as possible to visit the planting stall. Children can take them home, look after them and then bring the plants and join us on judging day for Britain in Bloom on 6 August 2018 at 10am outside school. Scholes in Bloom are going for gold this year!
Hobgoblin Theatre!
This morning, we’ve been enjoying a mash-up of fairy tales.
So far, we’ve seen Snow White, The Evil Queen, Three Little Pigs, The Big Bad Wolf and a dwarf! All the characters are wearing disguises to pretend to be other characters in the wrong fairy tales! It truly is a mash-up!
The children are completely engrossed! The handsome prince has just been checking if any of the children’s feet might fit the glass slipper! None fitted, not even the year sixes feet!
Walk to School Week winners
We had hundreds of raffle tickets in the box. Well done to all those who walked, scooted or rode bikes to school before the holidays. The Buffers car park was busy all week. Here are the prize winners. Let’s keep walking!
