• Y6 Adventure Day

  Wed 08 Jul 2026

  We had a fantastic day at the Leicestershire Outdoor Pursuits Centre in beautiful weather. We starting with rifle-shooting, moved on to the dizzying heights of the aerial trek and then after lunch went canoeing. A brilliant way to round off 7 years at Scalford School!

  Mon 29 Jun 2026

  Base 2 Roman Day

  The children braved the Mediterranean heat to become Romans for a day at the Village Hall, having great fun learning about soldiers, weapons, buildings, food, money and medicine. The day was run by former Scalford pupil, Jed Jaggard! 🙌

  

• Heat

  Fri 26 Jun 2026

  Heat!

   

  This week, we tackled the intense heat by retreating to church in the afternoons. With its space and huge thick stone walls, it was a lovely, cool refuge. It also made a nice change!

  

• Base 3 Production

  Fri 26 Jun 2026

  Base 3 put on a production of 'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' this week - a story of resilience, kindness and friendship that meant a lot to us (although it is set in snow - something we could only dream about in the searing heat!). The children worked incredibly hard and should be very proud of their beautiful and moving performance. 

  

• Base 2 Art

  Fri 26 Jun 2026

  The children in Base 2 have been having a brilliant time, making characters from Roald Dahl's 'Dirty Beasts' using air-drying clay. They also used marbling ink to create a beautiful base for their work.

• Bug Hunt

  Tue 09 Jun 2026

  Last week, as part of their Science, Base 3 went on a bug hunt around the Village Hall. The children found a huge variety of invertebrates from ladybird larvae to weevils, parasitic wasps to snails, several species of bee and spider, lacewings, butterflies, earwigs and much more!

  This week they will be using keys to identify them from the photos they took.

  

• Messy Fiesta - Endurance

  Wed 03 Jun 2026

  We have had a fantastic day working in our house groups and exploring the Christian value of 'Endurance'. We have completed some minutely detailed art; we've learnt about Ernest Shackleton and constructed doo igloos from pasta, marsh mallows and bubble wrap; we've acted out a story and learnt a song; and we've completed a host of physical endurance challenges.  

  

• Break the Rules Day!

  Tue 19 May 2026

  A bit of fundraising fun now that Y6 SATs are over and done with. Thank you for arranging a lovely day FOSS! A set of 10 rules were there to be broken for donations. Maybe you can guess what some of the rules were...
