Recently Year 5/6 S visited the war memorial in Scholes to record a video for Remembrance Sunday. The links to watch the videos are below. Well done to all the children for being so respectful and mature.
Scholes Remembrance Sunday services
School Council
The School Council met today to make a few plans for this term. Our first bit of exciting news is that the School Council have been re-branded as ‘The Junior Leadership Team.’
We discussed some ideas for Children in Need, which is taking place on Friday 13 November. The team decided that we would do a non-uniform day and collect donations. More information will be sent out on Monday.
The team are currently discussing what our new charity is going to be this year, so we’ll keep you posted when we’ve decided.

Year 5 Maths
This week, Year 5 have been learning about different types of graph. They have been using tables of information and converting them into bar charts and line graphs. They had to think carefully about their axis and the labels for their graphs. Later this week, they will be collecting their own data about how their heart rate changes during exercise and then they will represent this in graph form.
Reading archaeologists
Year 6 raced against the clock to uncover facts about pyramids this morning. At home, you could continue researching about pyramids. What’s your favourite fact?
Living and Learning – Mental Health
Our focus over the last few weeks has been making sure the children understand about mental health. The children looked at the definition of mental health and how this is different from our physical health. They thought about small feelings that they might experience on a daily basis, and how these have the potential to become bigger feelings. This is when it might affect someones mental health. We talked about how we could look after our own mental health, when things might be getting tricky. They came up with some great ideas, including bubble baths, reading and going for a walk. We also discussed how screen time and technology might not be the best way to relax and deal with feelings.
Remembrance Day
This year, due to Covid restrictions, Remembrance day is going to be a little bit different. Usually, on November 11th, there are church services and parades around the country. 5/6 S have had the privilege of holding a special service at the War Memorial in Scholes. The service was filmed and will be available to watch next month. Along with members of Scholes Church, the children laid crosses for each soldier that died during the World Wars. Some children read some poems- they did this very fluently and with feeling. The children behaved very respectfully and maturely – I’m very proud of them.
