Safety Seymour:           On Wednesday 4^th November, Year 2 enjoyed a visit from Safety Seymour, who taught them about the dangers of carbon monoxide and how to stay safe. The children learnt that blue flames on gas appliances are safe, while orange flames can be a warning sign. Through games, role-play and discussions, the children explored the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, including headaches, dizziness, feeling sick, sleepiness and shortness of breath. At the end of the workshop, each child received a goody bag containing a carbon monoxide alarm and a key ring with the emergency number to call if carbon monoxide is suspected in the home: 0800 111 999. 

 

Trampolining Fun:         On Tuesday 3^rd November, our Year 1, 2 and 3 pupils had a bouncingly brilliant time at their trampolining session! The hall was filled with smiles, laughter and energy as the children jumped, balanced and bounced their way through a variety of fun activities. It was fantastic to see everyone challenging themselves, building confidence and cheering on their friends. What a fun-filled session that left us all jumping for joy! 

 

Firework Safety: Our local PCSOs visited Moat House, on Tuesday 3^rd November, to lead an assembly on firework safety, sharing important advice about staying safe during the fireworks season. As we head into the weekend, we would like to remind all children and families to take extra care around fireworks and bonfires, and to follow safety guidance at all times.

 

Y6 Theatre Trip:           On Monday 2^nd November, Year 6 spent an exciting day at The Belgrade Theatre. During their visit, the children enjoyed a behind the scenes tour, exploring the dressing rooms and discovering the many different elements that help to bring a show to life. They also had the opportunity to meet some of the people who work behind the scenes, learning about a variety of roles, including marketing and finance. The main challenge of the day was to work in small groups to create their very own show. The children came up with a title and storyline, thought about how they could market their production to attract an audience and created a short role play scene to act as a trailer for their show. The children had a fantastic day and threw themselves into every activity with enthusiasm. What a brilliant way to start the new half term!

 

Dodgeball: On the Friday 23^rd October, eight Year 5 children participated in a dodgeball tournament. The focus of this tournament was on the core values of teamwork, honesty and respect, instead of winning. After each game the children would score how well their opponents demonstrated each of the values. All of the children loved the tournament and demonstrated the values really well, in true Moat House style!
