This week

Posted on Friday 26 February 2016 by

Maths

We’ve been looking at column subtraction in Maths this week. Check out the calculation policy for more information.

English

In English we’ve been looking at narratives. We’ve discussed using DAD paragraphs (dialogue action or description) to keep a reader interested in the stories we’ve been writing. We have used this video as a stimulus. Why not ask your child to retell the story once they have re-watched it?

Our next SEAL theme – Getting on

Posted on Sunday 21 February 2016 by Mrs Taylor

For this half term, our SEAL theme Getting On covers four main aspects:

  • developing the social skills of friendship
  • working well together in a group
  • managing anger
  • resolving conflict

A key resource for children to refer to during this theme, and at other times, is Peaceful Problem Solving.  This is a useful resource to encourage children to sort out their own problems.  You may wish to talk through this with your child(ren).

When group work takes place in school, some questions for children to consider are:

  • Did everyone take turns?
  • Did everyone listen to what other people thought?
  • Did each person have chance to tell the group what they thought?
  • If people had different ideas could the group reach a compromise?

The key areas of learning throughout this theme are empathy, managing feelings and social skills.

We start our weekly SEAL statements with a focus on manners, I don’t interrupt (with my mouth or with my hand).

School Council elections

Posted on Thursday 11 February 2016 by Mrs Taylor

It’s was a busy morning at the Moortown Primary School polling station with all classes taking part in our School Council elections.  We’ve had a record number of children choosing to stand as candidates including the majority of the current School Council.  Candidates prepared and delivered some great speeches to their class earlier this week in preparation for the election.

With a number of very close results, the winning candidates were announced in our assembly this afternoon.

Well done to our new school councillors – we are sure you will represent your class well.

The first meeting will be held after the half term on 01 March and one of the initial decisions to be made will be how we can support Sport Relief.

School Council Elections

Posted on Monday 08 February 2016 by Mrs Taylor

Following in-class election speeches this week, our School Council elections will take place on Thursday, 11 February. All children have the opportunity to vote at our polling station using the following instructions.

Before voting, please read the following:

  • Vote once for one person.
  • Place one X only on this ballot paper beside the name of the candidate you have chosen.
  • Do not write or mark anything else on the ballot paper; if you do, your paper will be invalid and your vote will not be counted.
  • When you have marked the ballot paper, fold the paper and place it in the box provided.

Results will be counted on Thursday and our new School Council will be announced at the end of the day. This will be made up of two children from each class with the highest number of votes.

Good luck to all our candidates.
