Fun on the farm
First of all, I would like to say well done to all of Year 2. They were brilliant ambassadors for Moortown Primary and made the day very enjoyable. Lots of fun was had; the playground was a big attraction with some awesome slides and then, of course, the picnic (highlight of every school visit!). The main focus, the tour of the farm, was really interesting.
Did you know that a pig is pregnant for 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days?
Did you know that a good cow can cost between £800 and £1000?
We all learnt something today; you might be told you are putting sheep on your lips (lanolin, from wool, is in your lipstick)!
A day at the farm
What a wonderful day the children had at the farm today. The sun was shining and we could enjoy all the areas of the farm. We got to feed the cows, hold a rabbit and see some donkeys as well. My favourite activity was the sheep race – well done to the green team for winning.
Flex and Stretch
Look at how flexible we are! Yoga was one of our lessons last week; here are some photos.

This week’s spellings are all words which have been used quite often in the children’s writing this week and spelled incorrectly. Unfortunately, many of the words are ‘double up for short vowel sound’ words which, despite the continued practice, are still being spelled incorrectly.

| 2. | would |
| 3. | action |
| 4. | disappear |
| 5. | grabbed |
| 6. | putting |
| 7. | terrible |

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect. It is to be handed in by Wednesday 26 June 2013.
We have been learning about time this week; some of the children are finding some aspects really hard so please remember to point out different times while you are out and about (particularly looking at the difference between analogue and digital). If you are waiting for a bus, think about how long you are waiting or if you are watching something, how long does the programme last?
Fair Trade and Healthy Eating
Yesterday afternoon, we were lucky enough to have two speakers come into the class to discuss Fair Trade and Healthy Eating. Barry talked to us about what Fair Trade foods are, how we can spot them, and why we should buy them. Siobhan, a dietician, who works with lots of schools in Leeds, talked to us about the many ways we could improve our diet.
