A message from Mr Parker
Hi Year 1!
I hope you’re all ok and are looking forward to the holidays! I certainly am but I’m also very much looking forward to being your teacher again in September.
At this point in the year, you usually meet your new teacher. As this can’t happen this year, all the other teachers have sent a little message introducing themselves to their new class. Although you already know me, I didn’t want you to feel left out so I’ve also recorded a little video.

See you soon!
Hello to our new class
Hello Reception class and your families – we hope you are all well.
It has been a very strange end to the school year. Usually the children would have visited their new classroom and staff and we would have shared with them what would happen in September as they change year group. This year, sadly, this has not been possible.
Please don’t worry. All the adults in Year 1 are very excited for September, to meet you all in person, and to welcome you to your new class. We will work hard to help you settle and get you back on track with your learning.
Mrs Weekes has recently sent some information about your transition to Year 1 and as we can’t see you all in school at the moment, here are some messages for you from your new teachers.
A message from Mrs Bharath…
Hello, Reception class. I am excited to work with you again in Year 1. I hope you are all keeping busy and that you enjoy the summer holidays. See you, raring to go, in September!
We all hope you and your families have a happy and healthy summer holiday. Stay safe and well. See you in September!
Hello to the new Y6 class!
Hey everyone!
It’s Miss Wilson and we’re going to be reunited for your very last year at Moortown Primary School!
Take a look at this quick hello…
See you very soon!

Hello soon to be Year 3’s!
Hello Year 2’s, it’s Mr Wain here!
As you probably already know, I’m going to be your teacher in September when you come up to Year 3!
I’m really, really excited to get to you know all and I’ve heard really good things about you already!
I’ve made a short video for you which tells you a little bit about me, who will be in our class next year, where our classroom is and some of the things to expect!

Latest update
As we come towards the end of the school year, we are so impressed to still receive messages with great learning and other experiences you are having while being at home.
This week, we’ve heard a great story from one of our class mates who, during lockdown, has been selling old toys and books on a stall to raise money for the NHS, their football club and Hope Pastures Donkey Sanctuary. They raised an amazing total of £135! They even had the opportunity to meet some of the donkeys as a thank you for supporting the charity. Fantastic effort!
We’ve also been hearing about visiting the sporting hero’s scarecrow hunt in Boston Spa, lots more yummy fruit kebabs, making home made lemonade, virtual sports day (including the gymnastics challenge), creating some Warli Art (a very famous form of art in India), achieving best young football player at their football team awards and of course, some fantastic home learning.
Also, well done to Rufus, Evan, Kian and Tommy who have achieved their next level on Lexia. Great work!
Can you find the treasure?
This week, in our Year 3/4 bubble, we’ve been part of Captain One Eye’s crew and after we read our instruction text about how to make a treasure map, we decided to have a go ourselves. The children followed the instructions to create their own versions including their directions to the treasure. Next, it was time to make our own treasure boxes and consider what treasure is important to us in our lives.
Super learning!
