• Year 1 Library Visit

  Mon 27 Jun 2022

  On Thursday 23^rd June, Year 1 visited Bell Green library. After walking there, we browsed the book selection and had time to explore both fiction and non-fiction texts. The children had the opportunity to sign up for a library card and they each chose one book to take home to share with their families. On Thursday 14^th July we will return to the library again to take our books back. The children were also given the opportunity to take part in a summer reading challenge. Children are challenged to read 6 books over the summer holidays in order to win a medal and a certificate. Children can also collect stickers every time they visit the library. This is a great place to take children over the long summer holiday, which is free of charge. Look out for more information on more events happening there throughout summer.

  On Tuesday 21^st June, Year 2 enjoyed a trip to Twycross Zoo to support their learning in science lessons this year. The children looked closely at the different habitats created for the animals at the zoo and discussed whether the animals were omnivores, carnivores or herbivores. A great time was had by all! Josh said, 'I loved the monkeys they were fighting and pushing each other'. Lexi was so pleased to have fed a rainbow lorikeet by hand, 'I was so nervous, my hand was shaking'. Yasmin said, 'The butterflies were so beautiful, they were flying around our heads'. Our special day was topped off by a dip in the Wet 'n' Wild play area. We had some tired explorers by the end of the day.

  On May 26th, our football team achieved their biggest ever victory – it was truly historical! They played local rivals, St Patricks and proved that they have got lots of skill, as well as confidence and determination. The final score was 8:0, which included Furaha achieving four of the eight goals. Man of the match was Harry for making some great saves and keeping a clean sheet.

• Hordain Football Tournament

  Mon 13 Jun 2022

  On June 4^th and 5th, the Moat House football team played very well against European opposition in France. The children battled hard in every match and had to perform under many different weather conditions, including storms, rain and sunshine. When a vital match ended in a draw, the children had to take part in a nail biting penalty shoot out. It was a victory for Moat House and particular mentions must go to Riley for scoring the winning penalty and to Harry for making a crucial save. Credit goes to all of the children who took part. We also had some lovely feedback from the host families who all commented on how well behaved the children were and what good manners they have.
