• Sports Day 2025

  Fri 20 Jun 2025

  Despite our fears, we didn't overheat and we had a wonderful breezy afternoon enjoying Sports Day. So many wonderful performances and a few memorable moments. Thanks to FOSS for the refreshments and to Miss Moore for organising everything so well!

  

• Sculpture

  Wed 18 Jun 2025

  In Base 3 we have been exploring two big questions recently:

  • What makes art art?
  • Does the way in which objects are presented affect our perception of them?

  As part of this work, we looked for small objects to present as sculptures and we even made plinths for them. We tried to imagine what it would be like if these objects were enormous and so we made minifigures of ourselves to help us visualise this. 

  

• Bradgate Park

  Wed 18 Jun 2025

  Base 1 and Base 2 enjoyed a lovely sunny day at Bradgate Park, enjoying the wildlife and learning about stone age people. 

  

• Messy Fiesta - Friendship

  Tue 03 Jun 2025

  We had our summer term Messy Fiesta yesterday and the theme was 'friendship'. As usual we explored this through four activities, grouped in our houses. We made healthy smoothies and sat and enjoyed them with our friends, taking time to slow down and catch up with friends that we hadn't seen for a week. We also made friendship bracelets to give to our friends. We went on a friendship treasure hunt and explored how our actions might strengthen or weaken friendships. We also made some collage pictures to complete our 'Big Frieze'. It was such a wonderful day!

  

• Melton Band

  Thu 22 May 2025

  We were visited by several members of The Melton Band on Tuesday. They treated the whole school to a little concert in the church, playing all sorts of well known tunes. As well as listening to the brilliant live music, we got the chance to learn about how these instruments worked. Children interested in the possibility of learning to play a brass instrument and joining the training band can find out more on their website: https://themeltonband.wordpress.com

  

• Break the Rules Day!

  Fri 16 May 2025

  We had great fun raising funds today with a 'Break the Rules Day' organised by FOSS. Children could pay to break all sorts of rules!

  Fri 16 May 2025

  It's already that time of year - the Y6 children are in their final few weeks at Scalford School, SATs are done and the Leavers' Hoodies have arrived. 

  

• SATs are Over!

  Thu 15 May 2025

  SATs are over and the Year 6 children have been fantastic this week. They have worked extremely hard and showed amazing perseverance, determination and resilience. Well done - you should all be very proud of yourselves! Thank you also to the School Governors who gave up their time to come and help invigilate.   

  

• VE Day at Scalford Court

  Fri 09 May 2025

  As part of our extended VE Day commemorations, Base 3 visited Scalford Court Care Home today. We sang some old songs to the residents in the sunshine. Many of them joined in and afterwards we enjoyed chatting to them. Some children were able to see great grandparents and we also met Molly, who used to teach at Scalford School! They very kindly gave us cakes and juice too. What a wonderful afternoon.  

  

• VE Day

  Thu 08 May 2025

  We all dressed in red, white and blue today for the 80th anniversary of VE Day. We will have a special assembly and the older children will be visiting an exhibition in the church.
