Celebrating the Diamond Jubilee
We had a great Jubilee themed day and were joined by David Hockney and David Attenborough!
Oh I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside!
Fun was had by all on Wednesday when Years 1 and 2 went to Filey beach. The weather was on our side and the sun came out as we arrived. Lots of excitement was had paddling in the sea and making some fantastic sandcastles. Some children looked like they were leaving home as their bags were so full but they learnt the hard way when they had to carry them all day! There were lots of soggy clothes and tired children (and staff) but an enjoyable day was had by all.

More on money week
The children were visited today by an Enterprise Expert, Tim Hall, who discussed the need for adverts to help sell a product.
We learnt that no matter what your product is, you need an advert to bring it to the attention of your audience… who will then, hopefully, buy your product.
Here is an advert made by the children to encourage the public to join ‘Workit’ – a new gym. Warning… it will tire you out just watching!
Young Apprentice!
Alan Sugar, watch out! We have been amazed by the business ideas created by Year 1. They are creative, unique and buzzing with enthusiasm. Some amazing efforts from all of the children made it really hard to vote for the most enterprising idea. The winning idea will be taken to the “Dragon’s Den” and the opportunity will be given for them to sell their idea. We will know who to stay in touch with in our retirement!
Here are some examples of the fabulous ideas. (The scans are quite faint; if you would like to see them in detail then please come and ask us.)
Designing bank notes
It’s Money Week at Moortown Primary. Our Y6 pupils visited the North East Leeds City Learning Centre (based beside Allerton Grange) to get creative with currency!
Eating Hardtack
Hardtack was a typical biscuit eaten by pirates. Whilst it didn’t taste too good, pirates chose to stock up because it lasted for months and months. Our Y3 friends baked some recently – here’s their reactions…
