Moortown In Bloom
A piece of land between Stonegate Road and Scothall Road has been prepared to be part of Moortown In Bloom. We were asked to go and help with some of the planting in partnership with the Moortown Group. Off we went on Monday morning; we were given high visual vests (very fetching!), gardening gloves and a spade. Several holes were dug and plants were planted and the results will be evident in a few months when the flowers are blooming. Nine pupils from Year 6 represented Moortown Primary School very well; they worked well as a team and dug holes very well! Abdul and Sanna were demon diggers!! Look out this week in the Yorkshire Evening Post as we may appear along with our plants!
Our most recent project
Year Four had an amazing time at the CLC centre last week. The children used skills such as researching, script writing, selecting images, editing and acting!
The end product was a news report.
Henry, Ebony and Georgia appear to have natural talent for news reporting!
Researchers hard at work
At Allerton Grange, we used the Apple computers to research our news reports.
Lights, Camera…Action!
We enjoyed our visit to Allerton Grange where we produced a TV news report.
Relocation, Relocation
‘Relocation, Relocation‘ is our final topic in Year Four.
We’ll focus on reasons for relocating and we will learn a little bit about the Vikings and their movements. The topic, as always, will be cross-curricular and therefore will incorporate art activities (printing), history and geography. Our SEAL theme of ‘Changes’ also fits well with this topic.
Thank you to Mrs Jaber for volunteering to speak to the children about her experiences of relocating. If any other parents or relatives are interested in sharing their experiences, please see me to discuss a convenient time.

Well done to all our children for taking part in the sponsored Hot Shots event, raising money to help victims of the earthquake in Japan as part of My Community themed week.
Please return money raised as soon as you can – at the latest the first Friday after half-term.
Thanks.

Well done to Ahmed and Tyler who today achieved the fastest speed (41 mph) out of the boys in the Year Four shooting activity. Also, Iona achieved the fastest speed out of the girls (including me!) with a fantastic 32 mph.

Champions!
Well done to Rishitha, Iona, Sami, Connor, Jatinder, Adam, Cydnee and Kiran for a super performance at the tennis competition last week. Both the Year Four and Year Five teams came in first place! Once again, the children showed great empathy for the other teams. These children should feel very proud for representing our school so well.
