Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
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!
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
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
