Highlights
It’s our last message of 2024! We thought it would be nice to share some of our highlights…
- Miss Birch: ‘Nearly every single child in Year 3 has made progress with their times tables check scores since the beginning of the year!’
- Mr Wilks: ‘A highlight this term has been visiting different classes to watch pupils’ Science learning. It was brilliant to see children really engaged in their learning, using technical vocabulary and working together collaboratively.’
- Miss Newman: ‘As it’s been my first term at Moortown, I’ve a long list of highlights! However, if I had to choose one, it would be our first class trip to Lotherton Hall. It was great fun seeing all the wildlife and it was amazing to watch the children showcase their Science knowledge in the workshop!’
- Mrs Weekes: ‘I’ve got two highlights. A recent one was when a child approached me in the playground to ask for help – it summed up our job as teachers. Another was getting to know our new Reception friends as they come to school with a smile and a lovely greeting each day.’
- Mrs Taylor and Mrs Lake: ‘Year 2 have impressed us with their learning at home. For example, 97 Numbots certificates have been achieved this term!’
- Miss Lowry: ‘Our highlight of the year in reception so far has been watching the children beginning their reading journey. It is truly magical to watch this journey and see them develop into confident readers.’
…and my highlight is simply standing at the school gate at the start of the school day and being greeted by happy and healthy children as they arrive at school – it’s such a positive way to start the day!
Leeds at Christmas
