Soaking up the sun
Some friends just enjoying the sun!
Measuring Up!
As part of our Maths learning we tried to use anything we could find to measure length! As you can see we used plastic counting pegs, cubes, dinosaurs and bears. Predictions were made first and then we measured to see if we were accurate. Marvellous measuring – learning about length!
Moortown In Bloom
A piece of land between Stonegate Road and Scothall Road has been prepared to be part of Moortown In Bloom. We were asked to go and help with some of the planting in partnership with the Moortown Group. Off we went on Monday morning; we were given high visual vests (very fetching!), gardening gloves and a spade. Several holes were dug and plants were planted and the results will be evident in a few months when the flowers are blooming. Nine pupils from Year 6 represented Moortown Primary School very well; they worked well as a team and dug holes very well! Abdul and Sanna were demon diggers!! Look out this week in the Yorkshire Evening Post as we may appear along with our plants!
Reception Class have been busy writing this week.
Our most recent project
Year Four had an amazing time at the CLC centre last week. The children used skills such as researching, script writing, selecting images, editing and acting!
The end product was a news report.
Henry, Ebony and Georgia appear to have natural talent for news reporting!
Researchers hard at work
At Allerton Grange, we used the Apple computers to research our news reports.
Lights, Camera…Action!
We enjoyed our visit to Allerton Grange where we produced a TV news report.
Relocation, Relocation
‘Relocation, Relocation‘ is our final topic in Year Four.
We’ll focus on reasons for relocating and we will learn a little bit about the Vikings and their movements. The topic, as always, will be cross-curricular and therefore will incorporate art activities (printing), history and geography. Our SEAL theme of ‘Changes’ also fits well with this topic.
Thank you to Mrs Jaber for volunteering to speak to the children about her experiences of relocating. If any other parents or relatives are interested in sharing their experiences, please see me to discuss a convenient time.
Dancing Together!
During “Community Week” we were very lucky to work with Tracy, a dance teacher. She taught us a dance about the Little Red Hen which was based on the theme of working together. We learnt lots of moves and then put them all together to tell the story. As you can see from the photos, we had lots of fun!
