PE days – when to wear PE kit?

Posted on Monday 05 September 2022 by Mrs Latham

We are continuing to wearing PE kit on PE days. On the days your child has PE, they should come to school in their school uniform PE kit. (Track-suit bottoms instead of shorts would be good on colder days. Footwear : black/brown/grey/white flat shoes which are safe to run around in.)

Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a plain ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.

Here is a link to our uniform policy.

  • 1A (Miss Lowry) – Thursday (swimming) and Friday
  • 1,2B (Mrs Latham) – Thursday and Friday (swimming)
  • 2C (Miss Young) – Tuesday (swimming) and Friday

Swimming lessons will not take place in the first week. Children will need their swimming kit from week beginning 12 September.

Welcome back

Only a few days before we’re back together! We hope you have all had a great summer.

Have a look here at our school uniform and PE kit policy. We will have spare, clean items of uniform, including PE kit, for children to change into if they’re not wearing the items set out in this policy. It helps us feel part of our school community if everyone follows the same rules.

Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a plain ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.

Children should also have a filled water bottle (only water please) and a sun hat and sun cream, if it’s a sunny day.

Children can wear PE kit on both PE and swimming days (if swimming is cancelled for any reason, we will do PE instead). The days that children should wear PE kit can been seen below :

  • 1A (Miss Lowry) – Thursday (swimming) and Friday
  • 1,2B (Mrs Latham) – Thursday and Friday (swimming)
  • 2C (Miss Young) – Tuesday (swimming) and Friday

We’ll send more information about reading books next week.

Beach Party

Posted on Thursday 21 July 2022 by Mrs Latham

What a day! We’ve had a fantastic fun-filled day at our beach themed party. There were games, inflatables, dancing, bubbles, chalking and a water fight. There was not much sun, but we didn’t care, we had so much fun!

WUSU Crew 2022

Posted on Thursday 14 July 2022 by Mrs Latham

The two Wake Up Shake Up (WUSU) after school clubs have been running this year, after a break during the pandemic. It is great fun keeping active through dance and we have enjoyed making new routines to teach the rest of school. The whole school takes an active break at 10 o clock each day; dancing, running or skipping to contribute towards the NHS guidelines of 60 active minutes each day.

Scholes in Bloom – winning design

A group of children went out to meet the Britain in Bloom judges today. The winning designer of the Scholes in Bloom competition was there and everyone admired the planted design in the flowerbed outside school. It looks fabulous!

Design Technology – perfect puppets

Posted on Wednesday 13 July 2022 by Mrs Latham

We have absolutely loved our design technology topic this half term. Sewing has turned into a new-found favourite past time for so many children! The finale of the topic was comparing and evaluating our designs to our finished products. I’m sure you are as impressed as we were with our puppets. The children can’t wait to bring them home to play with and show their families.

Living and Learning : drug education from D:Side

Posted on Tuesday 12 July 2022 by Mrs Latham

We had a visitor from D:Side this week telling us all about how to keep our bodies healthy and safe, as part of our Living and Learning lessons. The children (and adults) were all transfixed by the excellent workshop. Ask your child what they learnt.

Living and learning : Drug education

Posted on Thursday 07 July 2022 by Mrs Latham

We have been talking about drugs this week – a substance that changes the way the body or mind works.
The children were very good at discussing different substances and whether they are helpful or harmful – lots can actually be both, in different situations.

We also looked at different scenarios and talked about what we would do in that situation.
