This week’s message comes from Mrs Weekes…
Yesterday was an important day at Moortown Primary: the day of the Junior Leadership Team (JLT) elections. The polling station was set up with voting papers ready for all children to vote for their new Junior Leaders.
All week, the children have been listening to speeches from their friends who wanted to be on the JLT. There were some fantastic efforts from children in all classes with some really important messages. Today was the day that children had to make the hard decision of who to vote for.
It was a close contest, particularly in Year 6 and Year 4.
The new JLT are:
- Reception: Edie and Gurjeevan
- Year 1: Avraj and Thomas
- Year 2: Henna and Isla
- Year 3: Jayan and Ralph
- Year 4: Luke and Nate
- Year 5: Ayanna and Will
- Year 6: Penelope and Danny
Congratulations to these children and to everybody who had a go.
This year’s JLT has a hard act to follow. The previous JLT did all sorts to help the school and to make sure that the children of Moortown Primary have a voice. A significant job was their role in supporting the chosen charity for 2022/23; this included actually helping to choose the charity and then planning and organising different fundraising events to donate to the chosen charity, St Gemma’s Hospice. Several visits to St Gemma’s were made by the JLT to take donations, find out more about what they do and very importantly, to choose a Christmas tree!
We’re looking forward to the year ahead working with our new Junior Leadership Team.
And one last message this week… Need any ideas for half-term?
Carnegie Great Outdoors have an activity camp happening this coming October half term at Leeds Beckett University. There are options to sign up for three days or just a single day.
Have a great weekend.
