• Moat Fest:

  Mon 24 Jul 2023

  To celebrate the end of the year, as well as their time at Moat House, our Year 6 children were rewarded with an after-school, festival themed party on Tuesday 18^th July! After raising a toast, the children spent the evening dancing and enjoying time with their friends, playing party games, posing in the photo booth or playing football in the inflatable stadium we hired. The children loved dressing up in their festival outfits and accessorising with flower garlands, eye gems and temporary tattoos! Everybody had a great time and took the opportunity to say some goodbyes to their friends before they move on to secondary school. Good luck Year 6!

• Aladdin:

  Mon 24 Jul 2023

  Our Year 6 children excelled themselves in the week commencing 17^th July, with two performances of the pantomime, Aladdin. Parents, staff and children thoroughly enjoyed the show and didn’t want it to end. We enjoyed their singing and acting, as well as the traditional pantomime characters and jokes. Special mentions must go to Paloma, Furaha, Amie and Filip for their bravery in solo singing, whilst Leni as Widow Twankey really made his character come alive. Well done Year 6!

• Attendance Rewards:

  On Monday 17^th July, we held a prize draw for all of the children who had over 97% attendance from 17^th April to 7^th July. In total, there were over 180 children who achieved this, they were then entered into separate draws with the two names in each draw winning a bike, a lock and a helmet. All children then went into a super draw to win a PS5. Congratulations to all of the children who achieved the 97% but unfortunately there could only be a lucky few – see below.

• Year R Assembly:

  Mon 24 Jul 2023

  On Friday 14^th July, we enjoyed a super assembly, courtesy of our Reception children. They have been learning a lot about the ocean, which has included pirates, ocean creatures and looking after the ocean and seaside. We especially enjoyed the Ocean Jam and Sea Shanty, which were both very catchy and had everyone joining in. Thanks Reception!

• Precious Lives:

  Mon 24 Jul 2023

  On Thursday 13^th July, our Year 6 children took part in a 'Precious Lives' workshop, which was run by the West Midlands Police. During the session, the children discussed their futures and their ambitions and were given the opportunity to consider how the choices they might make, could affect these aspirations. They also considered how their friendship and peer groups could have a positive or negative effect on their futures. The children all listened thoughtfully throughout and were very sensible when some serious and mature themes were discussed. 

• EYFS and Year 1 trip to Twin Lakes:

  Mon 24 Jul 2023

  On Wednesday 12^th July, Nursery and Reception enjoyed a visit to Twin Lakes, where they experienced the thrills of the rides, a farm, soft play, climbing frames, as well as the water park. Not surprisingly, the water park was the firm favourite, as the children not only enjoyed the slides but were extremely excited to be able to soak their teachers! All of the children were very well behaved and had a fantastic time.  Thank you to all the staff and parents who came and supported us on this trip.
