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.
Summer 2: Week 6
It’s hard to believe that this is the penultimate web post of the year!
This week, the children have thoroughly enjoyed making the most of our provision areas with their friends. They’ve been busy exploring, creating, building, role-playing and collaborating together.
On Tuesday, the children spent some time reflecting on their favourite memories from their Reception year. They used their phonics knowledge to write independent sentences about a special moment they enjoyed.
Here’s a selection of their fantastic writing:
Phonics
This week, we consolidated all of our Phase 4 phonics learning. The progress the children have made throughout the year has been truly remarkable.
Help at home: Over the holidays, it would be really helpful to continue practising blending and segmenting skills.
Have a happy and healthy weekend!
Science and Media Museum!
Yesterday, Year 3 and 4 visited the Science and Media Museum in Bradford.
There were loads of interactive stations that taught us about sound, music, gaming and photography. We explored these areas by reading the information and testing the machines.
We also had a workshop that taught us more about sound, how it travels and how it can be manipulated. We changed the pitch, speed (tempo) and added sound effects! Here are some photos of us enjoying ourselves:
Help at home: try to add sound effects to your favourite film ending using objects from home. Could you use tupperware for horse hooves or hand clicking and clapping for rain?
Y5/6 Production of the Amazing Adventures of Superstan!
I have been incredibly impressed and proud of the performances of all the Year 5 children at the production this week! Everyone has worked really hard to make the performance as excellent as it was on Tuesday and Wednesday night! Whether they have been acting, singing or making props every single child has shown dedication and the result was superb. I really hope that they enjoyed as much as all the staff at school did!
Well done to you all and I can’t wait to see you all in next year’s production as Year 6s!
Scientists: we are Biologists!
In our science unit, we are biologists. Biology is the study of living things.
In this week’s lesson, we dissected a flower called Alstroemeria. We labelled the different parts and discussed which of them make up the male and female reproductive systems.
Help at home: Label the different parts of the flower.
