  Key Stage 2 Show:           There were two showings of the Key Stage 2 performance on 15^th and 16^th December and we all enjoyed the perfect balance of the children singing some traditional carols, alongside some more modern Christmas songs. It was difficult to tell who enjoyed the performance the most: the parents, children or staff! Well done Key Stage 2!

   

  Christmas Jumper Fundraising:       For Christmas Jumper Day (on Wednesday 14^th December), we managed to raise £93, which will be donated to a local Coventry charity. Once again, thank you for all your support.

   

  Pantomime:         On Wednesday 14^th December, Key Stage 1 and 2 enjoyed the traditional pantomime experience in our school hall. Everybody got into the spirit of pantomime by clapping, singing and having fun, whilst watching Jack and the Beanstalk. A good time was had by all and the finale included everyone singing along to Green Green Grass by George Ezra.

   

  Year 2 Show:      Year 2 would like to extend a big thank you to all the family and friends who braved the cold weather to watch their show on 15^th December. It was a festive mix of Christmas songs, carols, poetry and jokes, and was just what we all needed to get us into the Christmas spirit. I'm sure we will all agree that the Year 2 children sang their hearts out and raised the roof! Well done, Year 2!

   

  Year 1 Nativity:   On Tuesday 13^th December our Year 1 children performed their version of the nativity. We enjoyed some beautiful singing and the children impressed us all with their very loud voices. It was lovely to be able to welcome some very proud parents and friends into school to enjoy this.

   

  Fun with Foundation:      On Tuesday 13^th December, Foundation enjoyed a trip to Hatton Country World, where they got to experience a variety of activities, including a meeting with Santa. They made reindeer food and fed some very hungry goats and sheep. They also enjoyed finding out about the animals in the scales and tails area, which included snakes and lizards. They got to play on lots of different playgrounds and chose a toy from the toy shop, as they had been so well behaved! The children were all brilliant ambassadors for Moat House and had a fantastic time! A special thanks must go to Miss Wetton, for organising such a busy and fun day for everyone. On Thursday 15^th December, Foundation invited their parents in to an open morning, where they enjoyed making Christmas crafts with their children, including reindeers, crackers, hats and lots of yummy treats for their party.  Parents were then treated to mince pies and hot chocolate!  A lovely time was had by all, thank you to all the parents that came. 

   

  Y5 Dodgeball:     On Tuesday 13^th December, sixteen children from Year 5 went to the AT7 to participate in a dodgeball competition. There were nineteen teams with eight children in each. Everybody played four matches and after every one, the teams would rate the opposition on teamwork, honesty and respect. The children behaved impeccably and really enjoyed the morning.

  EYFS Nativity:     On Wednesday 7^th and Thursday 8^th December, it was a delight to be able to see our youngest children perform on stage and to welcome parents in to school to also enjoy the experience,. Miss Renshaw penned the nativity style performance “We’re going on a Special Baby Hunt” and we all thoroughly enjoyed seeing traditional characters including angels, stars and shepherds. The children sang some beautiful songs and made us all very proud.

   

  Parents’ Evening: On Monday 5^th and Wednesday 7^th December, we held our first face to face parents’ evening since 2019! It was lovely for staff to be able to share your children’s progress and achievements in this way and we hope that you found the information useful with tips and guidance, as to how you can help your child at home.

   

  Mental Health Support:      On Monday 5^th December, Lauren and Katie from the Mental Health in Schools team (MHST) came to visit Year 5 to teach us about some ways to relieve stress and what to do when our moods were low. One of the activities that we took part in was dancing, which put most of us in a good mood! On Wednesday 7^th December, Y3 took part in a creating calm workshop. We learnt how to identify the signs of anxiety and the effect that this can have on our thoughts, emotions and behaviour. We now understand that anxiety is the way that your body reacts to help keep you safe. Finally, we learnt some mindfulness strategies and breathing techniques to help us if we are ever feeling worried about something.

  6ST’s Class Assembly:       Thank you to 6ST, who shared a wonderful assembly on Friday 2^nd December, all about the work they have been doing around the story book “Holes.” The children have produced some amazing writing and artwork and their performance demonstrated their enthusiasm for the story. A special mention must go to Jan for his very authentic Texan accent and Poppy, Ava-Jayne, Xavier, Wiktoria and Jaiden for their rapping during a very catchy song.

   

  Y6 Athletics:       On Wednesday 30^th November, thirty Year 6 pupils took part in an indoor athletics competition at the AT7 sports centre. This involved competing in a range of activities from relay races to javelin and the triple jump. Although we did not score enough points to progress to the next round, all children tried their hardest and we did manage to win some of the races! All of the students were perfectly behaved and were great role models for Moat House. Well done Year 6.

   

  School Council Visit to Castle Wood:           On Monday 28^th November, our Key Stage 2 School Councillors visited Castle Wood to share ideas about how they can improve the joint site. They decided that they would like to reduce litter on the shared site and improve safety in the car park ie: reducing vehicle speed and improving car parking. The School Councillors are going to share these ideas with their classes and will design posters to display around the site.
