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.

More 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.
What is a force?
Our creative homework has stirred some interest this week; some of the homework that the children have done is amazing! The mini-topic on forces has meant that we are creating pulleys for a lighthouse keeper so he can get his sandwiches (think of the wonderful books about The Lighthouse Keeper!). We’ve also been looking for different forces around school. Here’s one of the great Creative Homework pieces that have grabbed our interest this week:
Welcome!
Welcome to Hassan who joined Year 1 this week. He has made a positive and enthusiastic start at Moortown Primary. The children in Year 1 are very pleased to have a lovely new friend!
