School’s out for summer!
After an amazing year with our Year 1s, it has finally come to an end!
First and foremost, well done to each and every one of you in Year 1! You have all grown so much as children and as pupils, and it has been a joy to be part of your journey. I have been incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful class this year- one that has impressed us all every day in so many different ways, and one I will never forget.
Mrs Boyle would also like to say a huge well done and thank you for a fantastic year. She has really enjoyed watching you learn and grow. You are all stars!
As you all know, today is my last day here at Moortown, and I would like to say a massive thank you to all the parents and children, both in and out of Year 1, who have been so welcoming and have made my time here very special.
Finally, Mrs Boyle and I would like to thank you for your generosity and for the thoughtful gifts you have given us throughout the year.
Thank you very much!
Mr Volpe.
Year 1 – 2026.
End of Year 5!
Just a quick note to say well done to every single one of Year 5 for a brilliant year! They are well and truly ready for their final year at Moortown! I have been really proud of all the things they have achieved this year.
I wish them all the best for Year 6 and I know they are going to smash it!
Thank you for all your support over the year as well as the very generous gifts both all the staff in Year 5 have received. They are very much appriciated.
Have a brilliant summer!
DT food and nutrition
On Wednesday, Year 5 made a tomato sauce. They worked really hard with Miss Canning chopping, cooking, measuring and cleaning! They served their tomato sauce with pasta and they said it was delicious!
Design & Technology: food
This week, Year 2 have been using their food preparation skills to create their latest product, wraps.
This forms part of our Design and Technology food learning which involves following a recipe to create a product each term.
We read the recipe before we made our wraps.
First, we got ready to cook by washing our hands, putting on our aprons, taking off jewellery and tying long hair back.
We used lots of different food preparation skills including draining, spreading, bridge hold (for chopping), claw grip (for chopping), grating, snipping, arranging toppings and rolling the wraps.
Finally, the children got to enjoy their wraps.
I liked my wrap because it was delicious.
I wanted another one!
I didn’t like my wrap because I put too much humous on.
Next time, I wouldn’t put peppers in.
We always evaluate our product afterwards to see how it could be changed next time.
Well done to all the children who worked safely and sensibly with Mrs Simpson and Mrs Rothery.
Help at home: your child has taken this recipe home. Can they demonstrate some of their food preparation skills by making this again at home.
Goodbye Year 4!
We’ve come to the end of another year and Mrs Charlesworth, Mrs Bharath and I would like to say a massive thank you for such a fantastic year! It’s been a real joy to teach this class and I am so proud of all of them for what they’ve achieved this year. Here are some highlights of our year…
Your children have been incredible and I’m really looking forward to seeing them continue to flourish as they move up through the school.
Have a happy and healthy summer and enjoy Year 5!
A final goodbye to our wonderful Reception class
As we come to the end of the school year, I just want to say what a pleasure it’s been to be your teacher. You’ve all achieved such wonderful things during your very first year at Moortown Primary school.
We’ve shared so many special memories together — lots of laughter, smiles and happy times that I’ll always remember. It’s been amazing to watch you grow in confidence, make new friends and learn so many new things.
I’ve no doubt that you’ll make Miss Birch very proud when you move into Year 1. I’m already looking forward to popping my head into your new classroom to see how you’re all getting on!
A huge thank you as well to all the parents and carers for your support throughout the year. Have a wonderful summer, whatever you get up to. Stay safe, be healthy and be happy.
Best wishes
Mrs Wood
What a year!
It’s the final day of the year before the summer holidays begin! We just wanted to write a final message to say a huge well done to all the children for such a fantastic year. It really has flown by and they have progressed and learnt so much along the way.
Also, thank you to all the grown ups and families who have worked with us to support their children and thank you for any gifts you have given too!
Have a great holidays,
from Miss Birch and Miss Kidd.
Here are some great memories from Year 3…
Year 1
As your child comes to the end of their Reception year and gets ready for the exciting move into Year 1, we thought it would be helpful to share our home learning guide. We hope you find the information useful as you prepare for this next stage of your child’s learning journey.
PE – Yoga
Today, we enjoyed a calm and relaxing yoga session in the hall to cool down from the sun!
Road Safety
Yesterday, Year 4 had a visitor from Leeds City Council to deliver road safety training. We had a really insightful lesson all about road safety and sustainable travel before heading out to do some practical training. They were really impressed with how many of us travel sustainably to school. We had walkers, runners, cyclists, scooterists and even skippers!
It was also a very hot day so we made sure we were being safe in the sun by wearing our hats and having sun cream on.
Green Cross Code:
- Think – find a safe place to cross.
- Stop – take a 30cm step back from the road.
- Look – right then left and then all around.
- Listen – listen closely for all vehicles (especially quiet ones like electric cars).
Help at home: ask your children to explain the Green Cross Code. When you are crossing roads together, make sure you are all following the Green Cross Code.
