SEAL statement 4 October
This week some children will receive a certificate if they show evidence of our weekly statement, ‘I can solve a problem.’
Problem solving is something we do lots of in maths but how might you solve a problem at playtime, lunchtime or maybe at home?
Through our SEAL work in the Getting On theme, next half term, we shall be looking more closely at how to use the Peaceful Problem Solving technique.

The homework this week is Creative and is due in on Wednesday 6th October.
I can write a short playscript about something that happened at the weekend.
This homework links in with our literacy topic of playscripts.
Your playscript could be about:
- a trip to the shops
- an unexpected encounter with an alien!
- a chance meeting with a celebrity
Make it as likely or unlikely as you wish!
I will look forward to seeing your creations on Wednesday!
Good luck.

Literacy this week: 27 September
Maths this week: 27 September
In Maths, the children this week have been working on 3-D shapes, money problems and number patterns. They will benefit from practising their money skills on this fun game on the BBC.
Here are some of the children showing how they can do some complex patterns:
Abbey House Museum Trip
Class 2’s behaviour was nothing short of exemplary, leading one of the members of the museum to comment that we were one of the best behaved schools ever to visit Abbey House.
Introductions
Hello to all the parents and family of Year 2!
I would like to introduce myself to parents that I have not met yet, as well as informing everyone of the exciting learning that has been taking place at Moortown this week.
We have started our new topic this week, which is ‘Toybox’ as I’m sure you’re aware in relation to the trip to Abbey House (I have posted some pictures of the children outside Kirkstall Abbey).
Please see other posts to find out what we have being doing in Maths and Literacy.
Kind regards,
Mr Redfearn

This week, it’s Talk Time homework and is due in on Wednesday 6th October.
I can talk about what I learnt at Abbey House.
- What different kinds of toys were discovered at Abbey House Museum?
- What are the major differences between toys a hundred years ago and toys today?
- What materials are used to make toys?
- What is a replica?
- What was your favourite piece of learning at Abbey House?
The homework last week was brilliant. I’m looking forward to discussing our trip next week!
