Northumbrian Water Visit Y5

21st September 2022Mr Bennett

Northumbrian Water and One Day Creative delivered a fantastic interactive workshop to Year 5 on the Ripple Effect. The children loved revising their year 4 topic on The Water Cycle and learning about The Ripple Effect through drama and songs. They worked in teams to problem solve and came up with great ideas for saving water!

Read Write Inc Meetings

15th September 2022Mr Bennett
Mortimer Primary School
Excellence for all
Read Write Inc Meetings – 15.9.22
Dear parents/carers,

Reception Parents

Tues 27th Sep

2:45pm

School Hall

KS1 Parents (Years 1 & 2)

Wed 28th Sep

2:45pm

School Hall

We warmly invite you to a meeting about phonics and reading teaching within our school. We have changed how we teach reading within school and now use Read Write Inc to drive our phonics and English for our younger children. The meeting will be a chance to hear about the changes and how it works. We will make materials available for parents who can’t attend.

Read Write Inc. is a popular phonics scheme. Like all phonics schemes, it teaches children the sounds in English, the letters that represent them, and how to form the letters when writing. Read Write Inc. Phonics includes reading books written using only the letters they have learnt at each level (and a small number of separately taught tricky words). The children will quickly feel confident and successful. The following video gives a quick overview of the programme:

Head Teacher Update

7th September 2022Mr Bennett
Dear Parents/Carers,
This term marks the start of my Mortimer journey from 1992 as Miss Reay, student teacher. Then becoming a full time member of staff in 1993. For three decades, Mortimer Primary has been a huge part of my life and it continues to be an absolute honour and privilege to be part of the special and very unique Mortimer Family for so many years. I am so proud of the fact that I am Head Teacher of Mortimer Primary School.
However, this term will be my last leading the school, with my retirement confirmed for January 2023.
Mortimer will forever be a very special place. I love speaking to parents (and dare I say Grandparents) who I used to teach.
I absolutely know the Mortimer spirit will keep us going from strength to strength as we continue to represent our community in such a special way.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been with me on this journey and
ultimately for allowing me 30 years of fantastic pupils who are second to none. I am so honoured to have played a small part in all of your lives.
 
The Governing Body are now tasked with looking to the future leadership of the
school.
 
Yours sincerely
Mrs Cunningham
Head Teacher
