Badminton Lesson
5/6M had a great time honing their badminton skills in preparation for the summer.
Children had many top tips:
- Keep serve accurate by hitting underarm
- The arm holding the shuttlecock should be still
- Keep your feet planted when serving
5/6M join in afternoon
Our join in afternoon was a great way to start our mini topic on world history. During the afternoon, we learnt how to decode Egyptian hieroglyphs. After this, we wrote our names on papyrus paper. With the mini topic starting after half term, you might want to discuss some possible ancient Egyptian research areas with your children: entertainment, health, crime and punishment, laws, games, kings and queens etc.
Living and Learning – Money, money, money.
KS1 have been discussing where money comes from and the choices we have when we do have some money. What would you spend £5 on? The children maturely spoke about the difference between ‘needing’ to buy something and ‘wanting’ to buy it.

You already have the Year 5 and 6 Statutory Spelling list in your homework book. We’ve learned many of the spelling patterns and rules from this list already this year.
Your spelling task this week is to identify ten new words on the list. Learn these new spellings in whichever way is best for you. Some people need to read them; some people need to write them or say them. We’ll be testing each other.
1,2V PE
We enjoyed our PE lesson on the field today. We worked on our balł skills, played fetch and timebomb. Please ensure your child has tracksuit bottoms, if they prefer, and suitable shoes (or bring trainers/pumps) for PE so they can fully participate.

Year 6 homework will be Practice Makes Perfect. We’ve given the children three pages in their CGP Maths Revision book (p44, 45, 46) and three in the CGP English Revision book (p52, 53, 56). They need to be completed by Monday (Maths) and Tuesday (English).
Year 5 homework will be Creative. As part of the Tour de Yorkshire celebrations, each class has been given a bike to decorate a bike. We’d like the children to design a way to decorate their class bike.
Times tables. Practise recalling facts for x8 and ÷8. In addition to any usual tables practice, make a fact family poster.
Tour de Yorkshire
You can’t fail to spot the yellow signs that have gone up through the village warning about road closures on Friday 04 May. The signs indicate that the road through Scholes will be closed between 10:15 – 13:00 and 16:00 – 18:30. We’re given to understand that these are rolling closures and that the race will pass through at some point between these times.
Of immediate concern is the afternoon closure as this gives very little time for all children to be collected and for staff to leave school premises before 16:00. As a result, you can pick your child up from 14:30 onwards, allowing for a safer, less rushed exit from school.
