Virtual sports day
So it wasn’t quite our normal sports day but today we’ve enjoyed taking part in the virtual school games sports day.
First, we watched the opening ceremony video and took part in the warm up before completing the different activities. All the children tried hard to beat their personal best and the results have been submitted.
We’ve even created our own physical activity challenges that we’ll try out next week.
Did you take part at home? Hope you’ve entered your results. You’ve got until 12pm on Wednesday 08 July.
Charlotte’s Web
The children in school have been enjoying listening to a story called Charlotte’s Web.
Charlotte’s Web is a children’s novel by American author E. B. White and illustrated by Garth Williams and it was published on October 15, 1952. The novel tells the story of a livestock pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a barn spider named Charlotte.
One of the all-time great classics of children’s literature. This gentle story has inspired readers for generations. Readers discover how we should make and keep friends and how we should treat each other.
Wilbur the pig’s life has already been saved by Fern, but when he is sold to her uncle, he realises his life is in even more danger.
His heroine is a hairy spider who sucks the blood out of flies, aided by a rat, and they’re working to save Wilbur from the reality of every working barn. Enter Charlotte A. Cavatica, a beautiful large grey spider. Charlotte is determined to keep Wilbur from the chopping block, and comes up with an ingenious way to do just that. Charlotte’s Web is a classic tale of friendship, bravery and some animal magic.
This week, the children have made their own versions of Charlotte. The concentration in the room was quite something!
Well done, Years 3 and 4!
Hobby Half Day
In school, the children get an afternoon a term where they take part in different hobbies. As this can’t happen this term, we decided to have an activity themed morning painting pottery. After choosing their preferred money pot, the group set to work painting. We each chose song to listen to whilst working!
Well done, everyone! 
Take a seat
In school, the children have been designing and constructing chairs. We looked at many different examples and enjoyed sketching some.
Doing design and technology, whilst social distancing, is tricky! However, the children were mature and followed the rules well.
The finished products!
Excellent Year 3 Learning!
Hello Year 3s!
I’ve had a great week home learning with you. Thanks for all your hard work. I’ve posted some super photos of your learning below.
Amazing artwork
Today, the children in school learnt all about Amelia Mary Earhart. She was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. 
After lots of discussion about Amelia’s heroic adventures, we had a go at drawing some pictures of her in an aircraft.
I’m sure you will agree that the sketches are superb!
Well done, Ewan, Bridget, Harman, Vedant, Shameeska, Jodie and Sam.
Happy Easter and farewell Year Three
Hi Year Three,
I hope you’re all having a wonderful bank holiday Friday. I’ve spent this week in school with some children so their families can continue to work. We’ve had lots of fun and have even painted a giant rainbow!
This week is my last week as your Year Three teacher. I’ve been thinking of you all lots and while it’s been a little bit sad not to have a proper goodbye I’ve been happy just knowing that you’re all safe at home with your families.
I hope you’re not giving your ‘new teachers’ a hard time at home and maybe even teaching them a thing or two! We’ve learnt so much together and I have no doubt that when school is back open you will continue to be your amazing selves and continue all your hard work.
We’ve had such a fun year and I’m going to miss you all lots. Here are some of my highlights. Enjoy!
Happy Easter, Year Three.
Home learning heros!
Wow, Year Three. Another week of home learning ticked off. I can’t believe how hard you’ve all worked. You’re absolutely rocking your home learning! Here are a few of your highlights so far:
Great job, Year Three. Keep it up!
Arrangements for Year 3 learning
As you all know, Miss Clifford leaves Moortown Primary at the end of this term. Unfortunately, Miss Clifford had to self-isolate in the last week that we were open so Mr Owen taught Year 3 for the last few days.
It is important that you know that Miss Clifford is still the Year 3 class teacher until the end of the Easter holidays, 19 April. Please make sure any communication about home learning is directed to her email address: graceclifford@spherefederation.org
The summer term starts on 20 April.
If we re-open in summer term, the class teacher will be Mr Ben Freeman. If we’re still closed, please direct any communications to Mr Owen’s email address: davidowen@spherefederation.org
This may seem confusing. The reason for this is that because Mr Freeman hasn’t worked at Moortown, he doesn’t know the children well enough to be able to respond to emails about the home learning. As a more experienced teacher who knows the class, we’d like Mr Owen to be the point of contact.
If you’ve any questions, please raise them with Mrs Weekes: headofmoortown@spherefederation.org
We all hope you’re staying happy and healthy.

Remember, I’m available on email at: graceclifford@spherefederation.org if you have any questions about home learning during the week. Please limit this to one email per day, per child. Please also feel free to include any work that you’re proud of for our class news page. I absolutely love seeing how you’re doing.
