Big Pedal – our best day so far!

Posted on Tuesday 01 May 2018 by Mrs Taylor

Today, we’ve recorded the highest number of active journeys by bike and scooter for the Big Pedal – 64 pupils (30%).

It would be great to increase these figures for the last few days of the Big Pedal.

After-school clubs

Posted on Monday 30 April 2018 by Mrs Taylor

We’ve had a great start to our summer term after-school clubs with Wake up Shake up Club and Scooter Club taking place tonight.

If your child is coming to Scooter Club, please ensure they bring their scooter and helmet every Monday.

Big Pedal

Posted on Sunday 29 April 2018 by Mrs Taylor

The Big Pedal continues this week.
  • We’ve had 179 journeys recorded by bike or scooter so far.
  • Wednesday 25 April was our highest participation rate with 28% of children taking part.

We’d love to improve these figures for this week.

Don’t forget, a brand new scooter and other prizes are available to win at the end of the week.

Do you need wheels for the Big Pedal?

Posted on Wednesday 25 April 2018 by Mrs Taylor

Do you have any unused bikes or scooters (in reasonable condition) that you’d like to donate?
Just bring them to the donation station by the main playground entrance any day during The Big Pedal (23 April-04 May) and they’ll be made available for others to take away and enjoy for free.

Big Pedal Day 3

Posted on Wednesday 25 April 2018 by Mrs Taylor

MORE PRIZES announced for The Big Pedal!

It’s been a great start to The Big Pedal with numbers increasing each day and there are still seven days left to make a difference by scooting and cycling. As well as all the great national prizes on offer, pupils at Moortown Primary could win a brand new scooter (donated by the PTA) or three lucky winners will have their name inscribed in a signed copy of “The Boy Who Biked the World”, written by world famous (Yorkshire born) adventurer Alastair Humphreys! The trilogy of books is being donated to the school library so everyone has the opportunity to be inspired by this amazing adventure.

Rainbow The Fox

Posted on Wednesday 25 April 2018 by Mr Roundtree

Last week, when the children came back from their Easter holidays, there was a mysterious parcel left in the Year One classroom. We were all very excited and began to ask questions about what might be inside it.

The next day, we opened the box and inside was a cuddly, toy fox. After a vote, the class decided to name our new friend Rainbow. Rainbow spent a  happy week in our classroom, inspiring us all to write about our favourite toys  from home.

Missing!!

After the weekend, we came to school and Rainbow was missing! Year One were extremely worried about Rainbow and upset that he was missing. We decided to make ‘lost’ posters and put them up around the school, describing what Rainbow looked like.

The following day, Rainbow had still not returned to the classroom. We decided to take matters into our own hands and go on a hunt to look for our missing friend. We took a tour around the school in search of Rainbow. We visited the other classrooms and asked staff who we bumped into if they had seen Rainbow.

  

  

 

After a few conversations, we pieced together the clues and found Rainbow in the PE cupboard. He must have followed us during one of our PE sessions and got stuck there.

 

We couldn’t be happier to have him back with us, safe and sound.

School dinner consultation

Posted on Wednesday 25 April 2018 by Mrs Taylor

Thank you to all parents and carers who provided feedback on the recent school dinner consultation of meal choices for the September menu.

Catering Leeds, our school meal provider, can offer an alternate jacket potato and sandwich option alongside the meat and vegetarian daily option and we welcomed your feedback on whether this would work for you and your child(ren).

There were a number of parents/carers who were interested to try this option but the majority of responses expressed an interest to keep the options as they currently are. The main feedback was for children to have a hot meal for their school meal rather than a sandwich.

As a result of this, we will continue with the existing daily meat, vegetarian and jacket potato option. 

The September menu is currently in the planning stages and we have liaised with Catering Leeds to ensure the menu is tailored to our children’s preferences, while still meeting the national school food criteria.  Once finalised, this new menu will be made available to parents/carers at the end of the summer term.

Our current menu can be viewed in the Health section and is displayed around school.

Thank you once again for your feedback on our school meals.

Themed menu

Posted on Wednesday 25 April 2018 by Mrs Taylor

Catering Agency, our school meal provider, will be running a special themed menu on Tuesday 15 May.

Please contact the office, by Friday 04 May, if your child would like a school dinner on this day.
