Check out the fun at Y5’s Christmas party today!
This Christmas, Mortimer Primary School are supporting Metro Radio’s Cash for Kids ‘Mission Christmas’.
Cash for Kids is a local charity and their mission is to support local children who are disabled, disadvantaged, sick or suffering from abuse or neglect. This is for children aged 0 – 18 years. All the funds for the charity are raised and re-distributed locally to individuals, families and other charities dedicated to improving the lives of young people.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all who have donated to this great cause, we have received an amazing 295 presents and can’t wait to hand them over to the charity,
Thank you
Y5 and Y6 had a super day today performing at Westoe Methodist Church. Beautiful singing and clear, loud reading made for a fabulous carol concert from our older children.
The children have one more performance tomorrow for Y6 parents, the concert starts promptly at 1:45pm.
Y6AS had a fantastic day working with the The Open Zone team at The Word yesterday.
A day linked to their topic of Victorian’s in history, the children had written a history playscript to record using green screen technology while they were there.
They had a tour of the new building and also got to make Christmas decorations in the Fab Lab using laser cutting and saw how a design could also be created using the 3D printer.
The children enjoyed coding activities and came back with a buzz for the new building.
Thank you to the team for inviting our children for the day.
House captains from KS2 attended a service of Remembrance at the West Park on Friday.
In school, children observed a silence in memory of all those who have served and are still serving our country. We also held special assemblies this week.
The Year 5 children were all introduced to the Tuck Shop recently and those who were interested applied for a job. Mrs Mackay had around 60 application forms to look through and only limited jobs to give. The successful children received training in their role and have shadowed the Year 6 children who ran the tuck shop successfully last year. A reminder that the tuck shop is on four mornings a week.
