Our weekly message: Thursday 02 April 2026

Thursday 02 April 2026

This week’s message is a day earlier than normal. First up, here’s a repeat of part of last week’s message, in case you missed it…

Easter

With Easter on the way, please see this list of free and low-cost things to do over the Easter school holidays in Leeds.

Also (and not in last week’s message), check out this Child Friendly Leeds guide to help children and families in Leeds navigate their way through the Easter holidays.

Sir David Hattenscarf and the Wonders of the World

Our Y3 and Y4 friends did a grand job of their production: great singing, great acting, and an insight into who might end up on the stage in the future! It also taught us a very important message about looking after our environment for the future. Well done to all the children and thank you to all the staff involved in putting it together. Your donations will go to our current school charity, Martin House.

400 words for Leeds

Did you know Leeds is celebrating 400 years since Leeds received its Royal Charter from King Charles I back in 1626? Leeds Lit Fest invite your child to get involved in the 400 Words for Leeds 400 writing competition.

If you were an engineer, what would you do?

That’s a queestion one of our Year 2 pupils thought about recently. She took part in the Primary Engineer Leaders Award Competition, where she explored that very question.

Through this experience, she engaged thoughtfully with the engineering design process, identifying a real-world problem and developing a clear and imaginative solution. Her work reflects curiosity, creativity, and a genuine desire to help others – key qualities of a young engineer.

Each entry in the competition is reviewed by a professional engineer and awarded a grade, recognising the effort and innovation demonstrated.

Have a look at her entry – a brain divider…

We love this idea for catching up on some sleep!

SEND parent carer monthly drop-in sessions

Are you a parent or carer of a child with special educational needs and/or disabilities or waiting for your child’s needs to be assessed? You might like to join one of the monthly drop-in sessions at the Reginald Centre or Moor Allerton Community Hub.

Finally, an ‘egg-stra’ addition

We saw some eggs-traordinary visitors at Moortown Primary today. An array of beautifully decorated eggs appeared – how eggs-citing! The traditional Spring competition was entered by children from Reception to Year 6 (chicks to fully grown chickens!) and then came the hard job of judging them. The winners will be announced in assembly at the end of the day.
In the meantime, here are some of the amazing entries – well done if you had a go.

Have a happy and healthy Easter holiday.
