Living and Learning: I follow school rules
This week in Living and Learning we have been recapping the school rules.
We only have three school rules at Moortown.
- We’re respectful.
- We’re ready.
- We’re safe.
We discussed how we could show we were following the school rules.
How can we be respectful?
We listen to each other.
We look after our equipment.
We show good manners.
We use kind words.
How can we be ready?
We have eyes on speaker.
We have empty hands.
We have silent voices when someone is talking.
How can we be safe?
We walk around school both inside and outside.
We walk around corners in the playground.
We keep our hands and feet to ourselves.
The three school rules cover lots of different scenarios and if we are following them school will be a happy and healthy place to learn.
Help at home by discussing how can we show we are respectful, ready and safe outside of school.
Living and Learning: I follow school rules.
The first week back to school brings lots of new routines and ways of doing things but there are things that haven’t changed!
Our three school rules:
1. We are respectful.
2. We are ready.
3. We are safe.
We reminded ourselves of these rules in Year 3 and what these rules might look like across school. Here’s what we came up with:
How can we be respectful?
- We can listen to each other.
- We treat each other fairly.
- We look after the school and its belongings.
- We use kind words.
How can we show that we’re ready?
- We can have eyes on the speaker.
- We can have empty hands.
- We can have silent voices when someone is speaking.
How can we be safe in school?
- We can walk inside and outside when moving from one place to another.
- We can have kind hands and feet by keeping them to ourselves.
- We can stay where an adult can see us.
These three school rules are really important for everyone in school, not just the children. They make school a happy and healthy place to be.
Help at home: How can be safe at home or while out somewhere? Discuss what you could do to stay safe and what can be done if you ever feel unsafe!
First day in Year 2
We’ve had a brilliant first day in Year 2. We’re really impressed with how the children have settled into their new classroom and coped with the new routines.
Here are a few things to note:
- Mrs Palmer – class teacher – Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
- Mrs Taylor – class teacher – Thursday and Friday
- Mrs Rothery, Mrs Simpson, Ms Akhtar – Teaching assistants
- PE – Tuesdays and Thursdays (please dress your child in their PE clothes on these days)
- Library – Friday
Please ensure your child brings a water bottle to school every day and healthy snacks for playtime (if required).
During PE, the children are not permitted to wear earrings. Please can you ensure these have been removed prior to attending school on PE days.
Homework and spellings will go home every Friday and the children will be tested on their spellings every week.
The children will read 4 times per week in school and we encourage you to read with your child daily at home.
If you have any concerns or questions please either catch us at home time or make an appointment via the school office.
Hello Reception!
The time has nearly arrived for you to start school! We’re really looking forward to welcoming you all into our classroom over the next few days. We’ve been super busy getting the classroom ready for when you arrive.
Here’s a sneak peak of some of the areas…
Welcome to Year 4!
Hello!
Your children have had a fantastic start to Year 4 today and settled in brilliantly. It has been great to see how well they’ve adapted to the new routines and new teachers. We’re really looking forward to an exciting and successful year!
This Friday, your child will come home with a reading book and new Reading Record. Just like in Year 3, they’ll need to bring in their Reading Records every Friday for Book Club sessions, where they’ll be set an activity to complete at home (more information on the activities are inside the Reading Record). It’s really important that your child reads daily. This not only develops their fluency but also their love of reading.
Important dates:
- PE – Wednesday and Friday
- Library – Monday
- Spelling test – Friday
- Times tables test – Friday
- Book club – Friday
Any questions, please ask!
Year 3 PE and Library days
Hello!
Year 3 will have their PE days on Tuesdays and Fridays this year. Please can your child come to school wearing their PE kit on this day too! If you’re not sure on the PE kit, please let me know and I can give you the school’s uniform policy.
Our library slot is on a Monday. Your child will need to bring their library book or books in on a Monday if they are ready to swap it or are at the end of their 2 week allowance.
Any questions, please ask!
Thank you!
Miss Birch
Looking forward to this year!
Hello Year 3!
As you know, I’m Miss Birch and I’m going to be your child’s teacher for the next year! I’m really looking forward to working with all of the children and grown-ups. I hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer holiday and are raring to come back. We’re going to be a fabulous team – bring it on!
Me and my family!
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 parents and grown ups 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, Mrs Simpson and Miss Akhtar.
Here are some great memories from Year 3…
