Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
What a fun-packed sun-shiny day! We've had the Base 1 Easter bonnet parade, the Base 2 Easter Card competition and Base 3 have decorated eggs. We've also had hot cross buns at breaktime and we finished the term with a packed church for our Easter Service, during which Base 1 performed and action song, Base 2 recited a poem and Base 3 told the Easter story and played recorders. Phew! Now we're ready for a break.
Enjoy the Easter holidays everyone! 🐰
The children in Base 3 have been studying frame structures. They designed and constructed stands for phones and tablets. They measured, cut and sanded all the wood and then glued all the pieces together.
A huge thank you to Ragdale Hall. Their generous donation to school has enabled us to buy lots of new books, giving the school library a lovely boost!
There was a packed church for our service and we'd like to thank everyone who came along to support it. We hope everyone enjoys a lovely Mothering Sunday.
Base 1 enjoyed another wonderful trip to Brooksby Melton College's farm to learn about wild and domestic animals. As usual the stars of the show were the newly-born lambs!
A few more photos from the official photographer from our wonderful evening at St Mary's last week.
Over the last few weeks, a dedicated group of children have been preparing a dance performance for this special evening at Melton Theatre with a host of other schools. Effort was also put into costumes and make-up and we must thank the very willing and helpful parents who gave up their time to support us. The dance was fantastic and everyone should be proud. We were presented with awards for teamwork and supporting each other - qualities we hold very dear at Scalford School.
On Tuesday we visited this fantastic facility again today and learnt about the myriad risks of modern life, both in the real and virtual worlds. This is always done in a practical, engaging and hands-on way. Well done Y6 for make the most of it. We were also very fortunate to have a volunteer guide, Helen Pearson, who had in fact once been a pupil at Scalford Primary School! She had seen the school's name on the list and requested us. She told us some lovely stories from the old days.
Monday night saw a choir from Scalford join choirs from 9 other local primary schools for a magnificent concert in St Mary's church in Melton, hosted by the High Sheriff of Leicester. We were treated to a first half of exquisite classical music and in the second half, massed choirs, orchestra and organ joined forces to perform works such as Ode to Joy, Shenandoah and Jerusalem. A wonderful evening that will live long in our memories!
As usual, we all had great fun dressing up for World Book Day - some of us as characters from books, and others in snuggly clothes and with our favourite book so that we could find quiet corners and slip off into imaginary worlds throughout the day. We completed several different special activities and in our assembly, the teachers acted out a version of The Enormous Turnip!
