School Saving Club
Our next paying in session for children who have opened a School Saving Club account is this week: Wednesday 20 July 3.15pm.
It’s not too late to open an account. Please ask at the office for an application form.
Sports day Tuesday 19 July
Preparations are under way for this year’s sports day to be held on Tuesday at Roundhegians Rugby Club. Access to Roundhegians will be the pedestrian entrance off High Moor Avenue.
Please note: this year, we’ve swapped the morning and afternoon so that KS2 children compete from 9.30am whilst YR and KS1 start at 1.15pm. The format will remain the same with various races and also field events for KS2. Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and all children will be rewarded for taking part.
Another change is that children should come to school in their PE kit and they will stay in their kit all day. This includes, if possible, their team t-shirt – blue, red, green or white. If your child doesn’t have a t-shirt in their team colour they should wear their normal PE kit and they will be given a bib matching their team.
They will also need their water bottle, a hat and sun cream applied before school.
We look forward to seeing you there to support.
£117.77 = lots of pennies!
Remember all the pennies collected by each class during the recent Money Matters themed week?
They were then used to create a penny trail in our playground.
After lots of counting (thank you to Mrs Russell), our total amount raised is £117.77.
Thank you for all your contributions. The total will now be split between our two school charities.

This week’s spellings are all individualised. Children have looked back through their test books and chosen ten words that they have previously spelled incorrectly. Each child has identified these words because they struggle to spell them or don’t feel confident when trying to use these words in their writing.
Children should learn their words in preparation for their final spelling test on Thursday 21 July.

This week’s creative homework should be returned on Wednesday 20 July.
I can reflect on my time in primary school.
Children should reflect on their time in primary school and respond creatively. They could focus on friends they have made, what they will miss about Moortown Primary, what they have learnt, how they have changed over the course of their time at school, why they are proud to have attended Moortown Primary and anything else they wish to mention.
This is the last piece of homework that children will complete at primary school – make it a good one!

The spellings this week are for the whole class. The focus is on words that use a double consonant for a short vowel sound. However, a range of the suffixes we’ve learned this year are also recapped. The spelling test will be on Thursday morning.
Abbey House Museum
What a great day we had yesterday! The weather was lovely enough to enjoy lunch and games outside, and we learnt so much about the past. I was very impressed with how enthusiastic the children were at discovering new things and of course their behaviour was fantastic. Here are a few pictures from our day.
We looked for pictures of Victorian people and dressed up as them!
Entry to Abbey House Museum is free and it is much bigger than it looks from the outside. With the holidays coming up, this could be a great day out to keep everybody occupied!
Wonder the world better
Our homework last week linked to a national competition to win a trip to the new Wonderlab at the Science Museum in London. There were lots of fantastic entries but we’ve whittled it down to one class winner which will be sent off to be judged.
Moses entered the winning piece but I’d like to give a special mention to Ebonnie who came in a close second!
Moses wonders…
I wonder what the world would be like without weather? Would it be hot or cold? Would the sun shine? How would we live? Would we need houses or shelters, would there still be nature without rain? Where would the water come from? Would life on earth exist without weather? We complain about the weather all the time but without it what earth look like? I think life would be less colourful, dull and boring, without the sunshine the sea would be grey like the sky above. What do you think the world would be like without weather?
Some brilliant thoughts that really got us thinking too. We’ve made it a more whole class entry as we then thought about what we wanted it to look like in order to catch the judges’ eyes. There were some lovely ideas but Isabelle’s, Jorja’s and Sarah’s had the edge.
Fingers crossed.

These are the last spellings of the year! They focus on certain rules we have learnt: -ed, -ing, -er, -s and -es endings.
All children in Year 1 have the same spellings.

Abbey House Museum
We had a great day yesterday learning at Abbey House Museum. We also had time to wander around the abbey after we’d had lunch in the cloisters. Finally, we played some games before getting the bus home.
