The spellings this week are:
13 November 2015
The homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 18 November.
I can show / tell people what to do if they are being bullied.
It’s anti-bullying week next week (16-20 November). The theme for the week is Make a noise about bullying. Children’s homework should tell others what to do if they are being bullied.
In school, we tell children that the most important thing you can do to STOP bullying is to Start Telling Other People.

Make a noise about bullying
Next week it is national anti-bullying week.
Our school definition has recently been reviewed by the School Council and remains unchanged.
‘Bullying is when you hurt someone, physically or emotionally, several times on purpose.’
This year the theme of the week is Make a noise about bullying and our children are familiar with another STOP message to address this, start telling other people.
Leeds Anti-Social Behaviour Team will once again deliver Show Racism the Red Card workshops across school and in class children will discuss these aspects of bullying:
- Our definition of bullying (above)
- Types of bullying – cyber-bullying and prejudice-based bullying related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion and belief, special educational need and disability
- What to do if children experience bullying. The key message is to tell someone (start telling other people)

Children tell us what they would do if they were bullied: ‘I would tell an adult, teacher or someone I trust.’
All classes have access to their class SEAL box or a whole school worry box where they can tell an adult any concerns about bullying or any other issues.
What is a right angle?
Year 2 have been spotting right angles but what is a right angle?
An angle is where two lines join together. A right angle measures 90°, like the corner of a square, and it’s also known as a quarter turn.
Right angles are all around us. Can you find any at home, on the way to school or at the shops? How do you know it’s a right angle?
Then we attempted a right angle challenge. Why not try this again at home?
Track and field stars
Well done to our athletics team who came second in the first round of the North East Leeds Sports hall athletics at Allerton Grange – a great achievement. It was a new event for the school and, despite a few nerves, everyone performed to the best of their ability in every event. Well done to all the children involved and to parents for their support. Look out for details of the next round.
If you’d like to continue athletics, there is also a local athletics club that runs at Scott Hall Leisure Centre.
Lexia
I’m glad to see so many children using Lexia at home. There have been lots of certificates given out for their achievement so far. Some parents have informed me that it has requested a teacher e-mail in order to log in. Thanks for making me aware of this!
If asked for a teacher e-mail, please use: y1@moortown.leeds.sch.uk
(Please note that this email is not monitored and therefore is not a way to contact me.)
Thank you.

Enjoying the library
We took our English lesson to the library today, exploring different types of story openings in the perfect surroundings. DAD helps our writing – description, action and dialogue. We compared different books and their beginnings.
Homework that’s ‘out of this world’
As always, Year 5 have really impressed me with this week’s homework. We were tasked with showing what we know about the solar system and we had some fantastic ideas: informative books, puzzles, models and diagrams adorned our classroom. We really enjoyed exploring each other’s work.
Here are some we really wanted to show you at home.
