If you and your child made a donation for our Wear Red Day. At the time of writing this message, we raised £97.68 – thank you. It was great seeing the different creative styles pupils added to their uniform today!

Living and learning

Living and Learning is our name for Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and other provision which helps to support the personal development of children at Moortown Primary.

Each week, we have a different Living and Learning theme – check out our Calendar to read about each week’s theme (it’s usually showing on each Monday). This week’s theme has been I know how to seek help.

We all need to seek help from time to time. Make sure your child knows it’s ok to ask for help. Explore different situations when you and your child might both need to seek help. What could the situation be (friendships, online problems, tricky situations when out and about…)? Who could they seek help from? How would they do it?

Linked to this week’s theme is STOP. Here at Moortown Primary, STOP stands for two things to do bullying:

• the definition: hurting someone physically or emotionally Several Times On Purpose
• the solution: Start Telling Other People

Remind your child of the STOP acronyms.

Your feedback

Thanks to all who have visited us recently, whether that’s for a Reception Stay and Learn or last Friday’s Watch Us While We Work session. Thanks also to the parents who completed our new online form for their feedback.

The children were completely engaged and behaviour was impeccable!

I loved watching all the different strategies that were used and will be using them at home.

We really appreciate your suggestions for improvement, too.

Contact details

A quick reminder…

If you’ve got any new contact details for you or other contacts, please remember to let us know. We need up-to-date details for the people on our lists in case of emergencies. (The people on our lists are the ones you gave us when your child school – in most cases, this will be three different people.)

Reception survey

Another reminder…

If you’re a parent in Reception, please do complete our short survey. Your feedback is really important to us. the survey’s open for another week.

We hope you have a happy and healthy weekend, whatever you get up to.
