Thank you so much for a fantastic year. We wrapped it up in style with a great party last night. Awards were given, dances were performed and songs were screamed!
We wish every child the very best for their future and we know they’ll go on to do great things.
Moortown will miss them dearly.

The time has come to see whether our cracking karts will protect Eggy or see him scrambled!
Our teamwork has been eggcellent but now our brains are fried. Good luck, Eggy. We hope our engineering has been no yolk.
Did every Eggy survive?
Y6 have been busy working on their Eggy Karts.
We are following a design criteria:
We’ve used saws, clamps, bench hooks and glue. Later in the week, we’ll test them to see if they really do protect Eggy from getting scrambled.
Help at home by asking how your child stayed safe in these lessons.
They look great so far!
A huge, HUGE well done to everyone in Year 5 and 6 for three truly incredible performances of this summer’s production, We’ll Meet Again.
Everyone stepped up to their role, whatever it was, with passion, pride and commitment.
Thank you for your support, whether that was supplying a costume or practising the songs endlessly at home. We really appreciate it and know that it made the production what it was.
We had some excellent acting, impressive singing and standout props. It was a performance that will hopefully stay with the children for the rest of their lives.
This week, we’ve had an action-packed schedule all about being healthy.
We’ve taken part in mixed martial arts…
We’ve created posters to warn others about early signs of physical illness…
We’ve completed a short course about allergies from St John Ambulance Service…
And looked at personal health including dental hygiene and handwashing…
We’ve taken part in a skipping school and performed for the rest of the school with some awesome skills…
We’ve considered our healthy choices all week…
We welcomed the Road Safety Team who gave us a great assembly and we took part in some pedestrian training…
We’ve played some basketball with Leeds City Basketball…
We’ve learnt about viruses, bacteria, fungi and antibiotics…
… along with so many more!
Help at home by asking your child what healthy choices you make at home.
This week, we’ve been learning about Relationships and Sex Education.
Here’s what some Y6s had to say about our unit of learning:
“It was a little weird but also interesting at the same time.”
“I thought it was interesting and I enjoyed the learning like how to look after a baby.”
“I quite enjoyed it because it explained how all of us are here at this moment!”
“It was a little uncomfortable at times but it was really interesting.”
During and after each session, we always had opportunities to ask questions, as long as they followed the rules, and we discussed some of them at the end of the lesson or at the start of the next. It was a great way to feel safe and heard.
Here are some snippets of our learning. We covered topics such as conception, pregnancy and consent (which of course can be seen in a variety of scenarios).
This week, we’ve been learning all about Buddhism in our RE Drop Down morning.
We learnt about where the religion originated, how it began and what is important to people who follow it.
Buddhists follow the teaching of Buddha, a prince who saw suffering, greed and pain in the world around him. He began to live a modest life and renounced his privileged existence. He achieved enlightenment.
Meditation and karma are really important to Buddhists. They believe if you live a good life and make good choices, you will be reincarnated into a positive new existence.
We created some drama to show how good karma can affect a person’s rebirth, according to Buddhists.
Last Friday, we had a BLAST at Junior Warrior!
Here we were before the race looking very clean…
Ready to take on the challenge!
At the end, we made sure to celebrate when anybody crossed the line.
And here we were after those 15 fun and muddy obstacles. Everyone made it back in possession of both shoes!
What away to celebrate a fantastic year!
Some children from Y5 and Y6 went to a sports day at Allerton Grange. There were lots of other schools there competing in a range of events such as javelin, long jump and 200m.
Everyone represented Moortown with commitment, enthusiasm and (most importantly) respect. We finished fifth overall!
Well done to all who took part.
What an amazing three days we’ve had!
It’s been new, exciting, fun, different, scary, hilarious and tiring! We’ve worked as a team, tried things we’ve never tried before, given it our all, laughed our heads off and come up against a tank of piranhas and lived to tell the tale.
It’s been a blast … Robin Wood 2025, over and out!
