News from week ending Friday 4th April
Football Match: On Wednesday 2nd April, the Moat House football team participated in a game against Spon Gate after school. Here is a recount of the events (written by Max and Alex): It was 3.30pm when the first whistle was blown to start the game. It was a close match with Max scoring the first goal for Moat House. Unfortunately, Spon Gate equalised shortly after. The next goal was scored by Spon Gate, which was a huge disappointment. However, in the dying minutes of the match, Bradley scored a heroic goal by chipping the ball over the keeper. It was 2-2. With a second left, Spon Gate scored again. The game ended 3-2 to Spon Gate. You can't win them all. All of the players tried their best and put in some amazing performances! Hopefully, we will win the next game!
Year 1 Parents’ Meeting: Thank you to the Year 1 parents who came to our meeting on Wednesday 2nd April about the Phonics Screening Check, which is a statutory assessment and will be held in the week commencing 9th June. Please continue to practise phonics with your child by using the QR codes that were sent out.
Rocksteady Concert: On Tuesday 1st April, we enjoyed hearing how our latest Moat House rock bands have been progressing, as a result of their weekly music lessons with Sophie, from Rocksteady. The children showed off their developing talent with different musical instruments including guitars, keyboards and drums. There were some interesting band names including Strawberry Shake and The Nine Chickens and they played some very familiar songs including: We Will Rock You and Titanium. It was truly a five-star performance!
Castle Wood Visit: On Monday 31st March, we welcomed some of our Castle Wood neighbours here at Moat House to discuss the good work that our two schools have been doing recently. This included our joint fundraiser for Myton Hospices – between both schools, we managed to raise almost £300 – thanks to everyone who contributed. To finish the afternoon, we had some fun and enjoyed an Easter hunt – everyone enjoyed the afternoon and all went home with a chocolate treat!
Comic Relief: As a result of our amazing toy sale on 21st March, we managed to raise an amazing £433.43. Thank you to everyone for your toy donations and we hope that any preloved toys or books are now being enjoyed in their new homes!
