Jubilee Day
Year 2 looked great on our Jubilee day. They even had a visit from the Queen!

Oh I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside!
Fun was had by all on Wednesday when Years 1 and 2 went to Filey beach. The weather was on our side and the sun came out as we arrived. Lots of excitement was had paddling in the sea and making some fantastic sandcastles. Some children looked like they were leaving home as their bags were so full but they learnt the hard way when they had to carry them all day! There were lots of soggy clothes and tired children (and staff) but an enjoyable day was had by all.

Times tables
Starting this Friday (18 May), we will be having weekly times table tests. This will help prepare the children for the weekly times table tests that they will have in Year 3 and beyond. There will be ten questions and it will be a mixture of the 2, 5 and 10 times table. The children that know these well will be extended with the 3 times table too.
SEAL star x 2!
Amazingly (and accidentally), Ravinder received two certificates last week for our SEAL statement ‘I can make way for others’. Both Mr Redfearn and I were impressed at how often he does this. Well done, Ravinder!

Welcome!
Welcome to Alex and Katarina who recently joined Year 2. Both children have made a positive and enthusiastic start at Moortown. Katarina is already impressing us with her excellent range of vocabulary in literacy and Alex is wowing us with his reading skills. Year 2 are very pleased to have two lovely new friends!
