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!
Cricket coaching in the sunshine!
All the year 5 and 6 children have been thoroughly enjoying the cricket coaching in the recent sunshine. We’ve developed our batting, fielding and bowling skills.
We are delighted to let you all know, that we’ve managed to secure a further five weeks of coaching! Let’s hope for more glorious sunshine! Don’t forget your sunhat and suncream!
Walk to School Week 21-25 May 2018
Lots of children have been walking to school this week. The raffle box is getting full. The draw will be made on Friday 25th May (lots of lovely prizes to choose from) so remember to bring your tickets to school so they go in the box. Thank you to The Buffers for allowing us to use their car park so children can walk at least 0.5km to school, even if they live further away!
Brownlee Triathalon
Year 5 had a great morning out at the Brownlee Triathalon. Children commented that they felt inspired by the event.
Walk to School Week 21-25 May 2018
Next week, 21 – 25 May, is Walk to School Week. Today, each child was given a leaflet and raffle tickets. For each day that your child walks to school, they’ll be able to put a raffle ticket into the box in the school office. Tickets will be drawn and prizes will be won! For those that live too far away to walk the full distance, The Buffers have agreed to let parents/carers park in their car park, so children still have the chance to enter the prize draw (scooting or riding a bike also counts). There are spare leaflets in the school office.
Ice-cream delight!
Year 6 had a well earned treat this morning, following their week of SATs. Vanilla ice-cream with marshmallows, chocolate or strawberry sauce, wafers, biscuits and flakes were eagerly enjoyed while watching a film. Tomorrow’s training day will be a well earned rest for our hard working and conscientious Year 6s. Well done!
Living and Learning: I can describe ways to calm down.
This week, we’re thinking about ways to stay calm in difficult situations. We have practised mindfulness and breathing exercises to stay calm.
It will really help us to know and be able to use these strategies in the future. (Maybe even as soon as next week!)
Ask your child to share the techniques with you. Maybe mindfulness could help your whole family? There are some great short clips on ‘go noodle’ to lead you through the exercises.
Tour de Yorkshire in Scholes
We enjoyed the excitement of the Tour de Yorkshire coming through Scholes on Friday. Each class decorated a bike to display and the whole school went outside to watch the women’s race speed past. We did some WuSu (Wake up, Shake up) dances while we were waiting and the Year 4 skipping team showed us their skipping dance from the skipping competition, too. It was a day to remember for sure!
Living and learning: I can recognise emotions
Over the last two weeks, year 5/6 have been discussing our emotions. We have discussed our ‘gut’ reactions and how these can help us. We discussed situations in which we feel either comfortable or uncomfortable. Can you add to the list and talk about the benefits of being able to recognise emotions in others.
