Hello from Mumbai
One of our Year 1 friends a little while ago. We’re all delighted to read this email he has sent us…
Dear Mrs Maver, Mrs Weekes and all my Year 1 friends,
Hello everyone! Hope you are having fantastic time at Moortown Primary. I am doing great in Mumbai. I love my new school R.N. Podar, but at the same time I miss Moortown.
I study in Grade 1. There are 25 students in 1 division and there are 3 divisions. Going to school by school bus is very exciting. I have made many new friends. One of my classmates comes from France. My school time is from 1 pm to 5.30 pm.
We have themed weeks same as Moortown . Last week was Hygiene Week. This week we are preparing for the musical – Little Red Riding Hood – which is tomorrow.
Hope all of you enjoy your summer holidays and keep in touch.
Regards to Mr Roundtree, Mrs O’Malley, Mrs Russell, Mrs Maqbool, Mrs Smithells and everyone at Moortown.
Love,
Adwait
Health questionnaire
There will be no further homework this term. However, please support your child to complete the health questionnaire sent home today in order to find out their views on some of our key health issues at school.
Emotional health and obesity are the two targets we are working on in school to further our healthy schools status and the questions, devised last year by the school council, are linked to these areas. These include:
- Are you happy at school?
- What do you enjoy most about playtimes and lunchtimes?
Completed questionnaires to be returned by Monday 16 July.
Wake Up! Shake Up!
Well done to our Year 1 and 2 children on reaching the final of the Key Stage 1 Wake Up! Shake Up! competition. The children put a lot of effort into practising and were an absolute delight to take to represent our school. Thank you to the parents of the children for helping with lifts and coming along to support us.
Jubilee Day
More Seaside Fun
Seaside Fun
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.
Watch this space… photos to follow!
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.)
Who said exercise was boring?
As part of our PE we went into the front playground to use the equipment. Our muscles got a good work out; there was lots of climbing, jumping and hanging around! Look at these two children strengthening their arm muscles and showing great balance and what an amazing leap from another!
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!
We’re looking forward to our new topic starting on Monday, “Oh I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside!”
There will be all sorts going on and lots of learning taking place. The children will be able to experience the seaside themselves when we visit Filey Beach on 13.06.12; we’ll be sending out more information nearer the time about what they need to bring with them.
In the classroom, there will be comparisons made between the seaside now and the seaside in the past and they will hear from a visitor about how it has changed. Please talk about your experiences of the seaside at home; any photos that you have of different seasides would be appreciated.
It will be a bit messy towards the end of our topic when we are making sea creatures out of mod roc – messy but lots of fun and new skills being learned.
If you can contribute to our topic in any way then please let us know.
Thank you.
