A Great Week Back

Posted on Friday 12 March 2021 by Mr Roundtree

A huge well done to all of Year Two for their return to school. They adjusted well not only to coming back in but to having a new face at the front of the class while Mr Parker gets to know his new son.

We’ve had a really positive start to our Maths learning. The children have shown that they’ve really retained their knowledge of place value, completing lessons enthusiastically and taking on challenges positively.

We’re ready to get planting in Science next week to find out what plants need to grow and the whole class love the idea of having a venus fly trap in the room so I’ll get shopping this weekend!

Chronology has been the word of the week in our History lessons. We’ve created a timeline of our life and will look at some heroes of the past in our upcoming lessons. Speaking of heroes: ask your child what hero they created in their Writing learning this week. There were some brilliant heroes around the room with some very clever enemies to go with them

Well Done Year 2

Well done Year 2 for continuing to work so hard at home. You’ve done an amazing job this half term and you deserve a well earned rest.

Thank you to those who continue to send me their learning.

Take a look at some the great examples of learning that have been sent.

Have a wonderful half term Year 2!

End of unit quizzes

Have a go at our quizzes to see what you can remember from the Science and Geography learning this half term.

Wonderful writing!

From Mr Gathercole, who leads the Y1,2 home learning writing sessions…

Hello writers,

I’ve been absolutely blown away by the amazing writing that’s been sent in to us recently. Teachers always enjoy reading your work so keep sending those emails.

Whether it be writing about fairytales or poetry about aliens, you’ve produced great writing. We’re so proud of everyone for all of their hard work. You should be very proud, too!

First up, we see some brilliant re-telling of a classic fairy tale. Can you pick out words from each that you really like and are going to use in your writing?

Our first piece comes from Moortown. What great editing and improvements to what was already a great piece of writing! Now it’s even better.

This next entry comes from a writer at St James’ CE. Lots of great adjectives have been used. This wolf sounds a bit mischievous to me.

Back to Moortown for another great tale. When you read this, how do you know it is probably a fairy tale?

Next, we’ve some poetry based on the poem, Aliens Stole My Underpants by Brian Moses. It turns out that the aliens stole more than just underpants! Here’s what a couple of Scholes writers had to say on the matter.

Olivia wrote this great letter after our prime minister got in touch with us. Here’s a link to that message in case you missed it.

It sounds like this super learner at St James’ CE does a lot to keep positive during lockdown. It sounds like you’re doing a lot to have a healthy body and mind.

This writer at Scholes is spending lots time outside. There is so much detail that we can easily picture what you do to stay happy and healthy.

We may not be at school but these learners have all remembered to take pride in their presentation. To everyone at Scholes, Moortown and St James’ CE, keep being amazing.

Santa dash Friday 11 December

Posted on Wednesday 09 December 2020 by Mrs Taylor

Leeds North East Schools Sport Partnership is delighted to be supporting the School Games National Santa Dash 2020 on Friday 11 December and we are excited to be taking part.

During the school day, each class will have a time when they can run, walk, skip, hop around the school grounds to get active.

Children can wear their PE kit and are encouraged to add some festive cheer by bringing a santa/elf hat, some tinsel, antlers or painting their nose red. These should be brought to school and worn for the Santa Dash only.

There is no monetary contribution needed for this event.

School menu change and Christmas meal

Posted on Sunday 29 November 2020 by Mrs Taylor

We really appreciate your patience regarding school dinners and the choices we have been able to provide. We’ve been very conscious that changes needed to be made and a hot dinner offered wherever possible. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to trial a menu on a two week rota and if this is successful, then it will be carried on after the school holiday and reviewed again.

There are two options each day, a vegetarian and a meat option but there is one day a week which is ‘meat free’.

We’re not in a position to resume ‘normal dinners’ but this is a step in the right direction. Click here to see the new menu and we encourage you to discuss and share the options with your children.

We are also able to offer a Christmas dinner option on Thursday 10th December. Please inform the office if your child would like a school meal on this day.
