Let’s start this week with a thank you…
A few weeks ago, we asked for donations to support our Cooking curriculum. To make sure that we can continue to offer this, asked for a voluntary donation of £3 to £6 to pay for the ingredients. So far, we’ve received £232 which will really help to pay for the ingredients we need. Thank you for your support.
For more about our Cooking curriculum, please check out our Cooking and Nutrition Curriculum Guide – they include the recipes and background information including the food preparation skills children will practise. (We’re in Year A this year.)
Being geographers
On Monday morning, Year 2 pupils conducted fieldwork in Moortown Park. They were answering the question ‘Which trees grow in the park?’ They observed the trees closely, collected leaves and took photographs. Back in class, they used a key to identify the trees.
I saw oak trees, a fir tree, a willow tree and an apple tree with apples on it.
Diary update
We’ve a diary change… It might seem like way off but just in case you need to know, the school photographer has had to change the date for the next visit to Moortown Primary. This means the date for the class pic at the end of the year is now Thursday 18 June 2026.
Arbor
We have recently moved our Management Information System (MIS) to Arbor. Arbor will allow us to communicate with you more efficiently and will eventually bring all core school data into one system.
Yesterday, you should have received an email letting you know how to login to the parent portal/app for your child. If you’ve not received this, please let the office know.
You can familiarise yourself with Arbor using this link: Getting started – Log into the Parent Portal and the Parent App
Arbor also offers access to other training resources, which can be found here.
Before the half term break, we hope to have finalised the payments area in Arbor, so you’ll be able to pay for school meals on the portal or app. We’ll let you know when this is live.
If you’ve any questions, please contact the school office.
Finally this week…
