• Young Farmer Visi

  Tue 04 Mar 2025

  Following on from their visit with a tractor a few weeks ago, representatives from the Young Farmers came to Base 3 today and talked to us about the next chapter in the farming story: 'From Field to Fork'. We found out about the large number of different jobs people do which help turn the farmers' hard work into the food we eat, ranging from nutritionists, to environmental experts, and chefs to marketing managers. They also reminded us that you do not have to be a farmer to join the Young Farmers (which meet in Scalford Village Hall on Tuesday evenings). 

  

• Messy Fiesta

  Mon 24 Feb 2025

  The theme of our Messy Fiesta was the Christian Value of 'Service'. As usual, we explored this through four activities. Firstly, children baked banana muffins as gifts. Secondly, they completed art for a display in school based on bible stories that illustrated 'service'. Thirdly, they learnt new songs and recorded them on video to send to Scalford Court Care Home to cheer up the residents. Lastly, they participated in a sponsored 30-minute workout to raise money for Cancer Research UK, the Trust's chosen charity this year. Phew! What a day!

  

• Irish Dancing

  Wed 12 Feb 2025

  Every child in school had a chance to take part in an Irish Dancing workshop today. Great music and good exercise!

  

• Art in Base 3

  Tue 11 Feb 2025

  In Base 3 we have been learning about artists who are activists and who use their art to convey messages and opinions. We used mixed media and a variety of techniques to produce posters that highlighted ideas and causes that were important to us as.

  A committed squad of Y5 and Y6 children took part in the Melton Primary Swimming Gala and we were very proud of them all. A fantastic event!

  Yesterday, Year 6 went to watch a production of 'Matilda' put on by the Priory Belvoir Academy in Bottesford, along with Y6 children from lots of other local primary schools. It was a great show!

• New Walk Museum Visit

  Wed 29 Jan 2025

  Base 3 had a very enjoyable trip to this wonderful museum yesterday. The children spent time in several galleries including the dinosaurs, fossils and rocks; Stories from Leicester; Ancient Eygpt; and the brilliant art gallery that was full of pictures submitted by members of the public and children as young as five! They were blown away by the talent on show. 

  

• Young Farmers Visit

  Mon 27 Jan 2025

  We were visited by members of Melton Young Farmers on Friday. They told us about the crops that were grown locally and what happened to them. They also talked about the animals that were farmed and how they looked after them. Then we got to have a look at one of their enormous tractors! The local young farmers club actually meets at Scalford village hall on a Tuesday night. You don't have to be a farmer and you can join up from the age of 10!
