Flex and Stretch
Look at how flexible we are! Yoga was one of our lessons last week; here are some photos.
Fair Trade and Healthy Eating
Yesterday afternoon, we were lucky enough to have two speakers come into the class to discuss Fair Trade and Healthy Eating. Barry talked to us about what Fair Trade foods are, how we can spot them, and why we should buy them. Siobhan, a dietician, who works with lots of schools in Leeds, talked to us about the many ways we could improve our diet.
Masterchef hummus
Last week, children were told that they would be making hummus and were given a basic hummus recipe. They had to decide what they were going to add to their hummus to make it more exciting or interesting. We went to Marks and Spencers to do a bit of research about what flavours of hummus are popular. Once back, the groups finalised their recipes. On Monday, they made their hummus with the extra ingredients they had brought from home. There were some interesting combinations: raspberry ice-cream, rhubarb and chocolate sprinkles were some of the more unusual ingredients which were added.
As it was a competition, the children had to not only make a tasty hummus but had to think about presentation too. Masterchef judges, Mr Wilks and Isabella Deyes, tasted the hummus and judged the presentation. The winner was a sweet chilli flavoured hummus made by Pavan, Ahmed and Roshan.
Yogabugs
Last week, Yogabugs helped us to exercise our bodies and minds. The session was great and was linked to our food topic. During the session, we even tasted some fruit and thought carefully about how it tasted.
Keeping fit and healthy
Some Year 2 children keeping fit and healthy by taking part in the Roundhay Primary Schools Fun Run.
Fun in the sun
Well done to the all the Year 1 children who took part in the Roundhay Primary Schools’ Fun Run. Here are a few who I saw cross the finish line.
Tennis competition
Well done to the Year 3/4 tennis team who fought off all the local opposition and got through to the Leeds City Finals.
The finals took place last Wednesday, at John Charles Sports Centre, where the Moortown team did us proud and took fourth place overall.
Well done to the whole team – you played some fabulous tennis!
Goodbye, Year 6 (from Miss Hewson)
Just a little message to say goodbye to another wonderful class that I was lucky enough to teach. I hope you all keep up the good learning. My favourite thing about your class is how, over the years, you have gelled more and more together as a team. Like I said in assembly, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed more with (or at!) a class! You provided Mrs Bald, Mrs Freeman, Mrs Edwards and I with many giggles.
I have two favours to ask my Wake Up Shake Up-ers:
- Please teach Mr Redfearn to dance properly when he takes over!
- Please still do my beloved One Direction dance every so often even if it’s just to annoy Mrs Hazell!
Finally, good luck with your SATs results. I know you’ll do brilliantly.
Goodbye, Year 3 (from Miss Hewson)
Just a little message to say goodbye to another lovely class that I was lucky enough to teach. I hope you all keep up the good learning. My favourite thing about your class is how different you all are. I love that you all have individual personalities and opinions. Thank you to the girls who have spent time making up leaving dances for me in the last few weeks – they were brilliant! (However, I think you had a pretty good Wake Up Shake Up teacher didn’t you?!) I think you’re a class full of talent, especially when it comes to sport. Best of luck for the future and don’t forget me when you’re famous!
