Week 14: 17 July 2020: Home learning
Good morning!
Today is the last day of the school year.
Instead of the usual lessons today, here are some ideas and activities for the holidays.
Try these fun activities.
Why not try yoga…
…or be a scientist.
Check out ‘The Imagination Tree’ for creative activity ideas.
Discover wonderful people and places with Paddington Bear.
Above all, have fun and stay safe.
A goodbye to our wonderful Year 6 children
Forget watching EastEnders repeats! Turn off the football (it’s not the same without live crowds, anyway)! Instead, watch this…
…40 minutes of heart-warming messages as we say goodbye to our Year 6 children, and they say goodbye to Moortown Primary. Bet you can’t watch it without a smile on your face (and even perhaps a tear in your eye!).
For all the support over the years, thank you to all the mums, dads, carers and other adults at home. We’ll miss you, too.
Miss Wilson writes: ‘It’s been an absolute pleasure to teach every single one of your children. I am extremely proud of the amazing young people they’ve become and can’t wait to hear about their fantastic futures. Thank you for all your support over the last two years. Please pop in to say hello whenever you can because I’ll miss you all lots!’
Very best wishes to our Year 6 friends as they leave us, hopefully to go on to even happier and healthier futures.
Farewell
It’s the end of the school year! All the staff in Year 2 would like to say WELL DONE and THANK YOU for being such a great, hardworking class.
YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!
Here’s a poem I’ve written for you. I hope you enjoy it!
OUR CLASS
Amelia, every day you make me smile,
And Tommy tells a joke, every once in a while.
Betsy a gymnast through and through,
And Javier, your confidence just grew and grew.
Penelope, your artistic eye just blew me away,
And Inaaya, the school rules you always obey.
Ehtasham your manners are great,
And Omar, remember those Skittles you ate!
Evie’s a great friend to one and all,
And Zhuokai’s very talented when playing football.
Ralph your efforts in school are simply superb,
And Moosa, is ‘jumping’ a verb?
Saif, such a character, who will be missed,
And Hafsa, when hula hooping, can really twist.
Leon is patient, kind and caring,
And Jiya is too, especially when sharing.
Theo, your head’s overflowing with fiction and facts,
And Kian, is talented with add and subtract.
Edith, a pleasure to work with and teach,
And Sunny, is now confident with his speech.
Cate, you bring sunshine into our class,
And, Danny, when given a challenge, will never pass.
Evan, your outstanding efforts should be praised,
And Ewan, with your worldly knowledge, you always amaze.
Hardev, your reading has got better and better,
And Jaiden, a developing, spelling checker.
Parnita, a hidden gem, her hand goes up more,
And Olivia, in many ways you’ve really matured.
Rufus, we’ve really got to know you,
And Sienna, your spelling scores were impressive, too!
Well, Year 2, the time is now here,
To say farewell, and a great BIG cheer.
Each one of you has progressed in many ways,
And, as you know, we love to praise.
Year 3 is waiting around the bend,
Good luck to you all we’d like to send!
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

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.
Click on this link to check it out.
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!
Miss W
