A chance to perform

Posted on Thursday 10 January 2013 by Mrs Taylor

This term sees the return of the annual dance showcase event held at Allerton Grange.  Alongside Talbot, Moor Allerton Hall and Hillcrest Primary Schools, we’ll be taking part once again.

To prepare for the event we are running an eight week after-school club led by dance leaders from Allerton Grange to master the routine for the showcase.

No dance experience is necessary and it’s a great opportunity to learn a fun routine and take part in a fantastic dance event.

The club, open to boys and girls, starts next Tuesday 15 January3.15 – 4.30pm and will run until Tuesday 19 March.  The dance showcase will be on Thursday 24 March.

There are still a few places left so call in at the office if you’d like to sign up.

Big Write!

Posted on Friday 21 December 2012 by Mr Wilks

Here are some pictures of the class getting ready for a big write this afternoon (the last day of term).

Surprisingly, they didn’t complain at all and actually seemed quite happy to do it. What a group of super learners!

I was only joking about the big write! Instead, we had a fun afternoon of playing games and singing carols.

A round-up of the term

Posted on Friday 21 December 2012 by Mr Wilks

Wow! This term has absolutely flown by. I’ve been so impressed by the progress that the children have made this term and by their enthusiasm for learning.

We’ve been so busy this term. Our All Aboard topic was great fun and the highlight, for me, were the brilliant prototype vehicles we created in DT lessons – and, of course, the big go-kart! In literacy we’ve been writing stories, reports, recounts and poetry. Within this, we’ve explored how authors create mood. In maths, we’ve developed our calculations strategies, learnt about shape and measures, fractions and practised telling the time.

There are some children who have stood out this term and deserve a special mention:

  • Arran and Roshan have both made fabulous progress in their writing this term.
  • Brandon has made great progress in writing and maths this term.
  • Isabella has made super progress in all subjects but especially in maths.
  • Ibrahim has made fantastic progress with his reading – I love listening to him reading!
  • Both Lennox and Jennifer have settled in really well at Moortown and are fantastic additions to the class!

Finally, thanks to Mr Toms for all his hard work this term.

Have a super holiday and a happy new year!

 

 

Carol singing

Posted on Thursday 20 December 2012 by Mr Wilks

This morning, we sang our hearts out at Marks and Spencer’s. The weather was awful but it wasn’t a match for our Christmas spirit!

Thanks to all the parents and family who came to watch and sing along!

Paper chain competition

Posted on Thursday 20 December 2012 by Mr Wilks

Today, the class have had to work cooperatively in teams to try to produce the longest paper chain. There were lots of enterprise skills on show as children assigned themselves specific roles and divided them into sub-teams.

Posted on Friday 14 December 2012 by Mr Wilks

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 19 December.

I can show what I have learnt about time.

We’ve been learning to tell the time and find time intervals this week so the children are tasked with showing me what they have learnt!

They could:

  • Create a game.
  • Make a clock and ask and answer some questions.
  • Use a timetable (TV magazine, bus timetable) to ask and answer some questions.
  • Match a time in words to a clock showing the same time.

Cross Country

Posted on Monday 26 November 2012 by Mrs Taylor

Today, Year 3 represented Moortown Primary School as part of the Key Stage 2 cross country festival at Cardinal Heenan School, involving thirteen local primary schools.

Well done to all the children who took part in the very wet conditions, with every child completing the race and giving 100% effort.

Molly ran a fantastic race with an overall position of 11th in the Under 9 Girls race and Henry was the first boy from Moortown to finish in the Under 9 Boys race, finishing 46th.

Eight of our children took part in the longer, under 11 race with over 100 runners.  Running against children from Year 5 and Year 6, the top four from Moortown – Archie (22nd), Zak, Bailey and Lennox – did exceptionally well.

 

All children will be rewarded with a certificate in our Good Work assembly.

Thank you, as well, to parents who helped with the visit and supported at the event.
