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.

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

Hunting for Mildred
In Literacy we have been looking at the story of Dogger. It is the endearing story of how Dave’s beloved Dogger was lost and found. We experienced the same emotional journey as Dave by hunting for our Year 1 crocodile, Mildred, who was eventually found in Mr Roundtree’s office!
Here are some pictures of us hunting for Mildred.
