Last Week's News 22nd Nov 24
Wed 27 Nov 20246CB Assembly: Year 6 performed a fantastic assembly all about the human circulatory system on Friday 22nd November. We learned from them that there are four main components of the blood – plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets – that all have an important part in how the circulatory system works to keep us alive and healthy. The children also showed off their marvellous sewing skills, modelling their 1970s inspired T-shirts that they have created. Well done, 6CB! An amazing assembly!
Nursery Trip to the Transport Museum: Our Nursery children went to the Transport Museum on Wednesday 20th November, many of them being joined by their parents. The children have been learning about different types of transport and enjoyed looking at how vehicles have changed over time. They also enjoyed their journey of leaving school, waiting for and travelling on a bus. While at the Transport Museum, the children had an opportunity to hands-on explore forces and how things work using different objects. The Transport Museum offers this session free every Wednesday to all Coventry families, as well as a Saturday session building cars for older children. Just take along your CV card to join these sessions for free!
Year 4 author workshop: On Wednesday 20th November, Year 4 took part in a Waterstones author workshop with Alex T. Smith who illustrated and wrote his most recently published book 'Murder by Narwhal'. Alex T. Smith explained the inspiration for his latest book and introduced the children to each character. After this, he read an extract of his book which the children are excited to continue reading as a class novel! The workshop ended with a Q&A with the author and the children were fascinated to learn more about the publishing process. He gave the children some helpful advice about the editing and revising process which was fantastic. The children thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and it really inspired them with their own writing too!
Year 6 Energy Summit: On Tuesday 19th November, some Year 6 children attended 'The Youth Energy Summit' at the CBS Arena. Throughout the day, they explored the energy crisis through discussions, performances, interactive workshops and exhibitions. The main learning focus was through arts-based workshops, which used arts approaches and physical theatre techniques to help students understand renewable energy technologies, energy conservation strategies and policy advocacy. Although it was quite a mature topic, the children listened thoughtfully and participated fully in all of activities. They will feedback what they learned to the rest of Year 6 so that they can all develop an understating of the energy crisis and make better choices about their energy usage.
Design Technology: As part of the Design Technology curriculum, Year 2 made and baked their own pizzas in the week beginning November 18th. As well as making their own dough, they got creative with their toppings and used peppers, sweetcorn, chicken, ham and even the rather unusual option of carrots! In the week starting November 11th, Year 6 upcycled plain white T shirts by creating 1970s themed felt designs which they then sewed onto their T shirts, using three different stitches. The children have all thoroughly enjoyed their learning in Design and Technology over the last couple of weeks!

Max (the captain) managed to score two early goals and it finished a very comfortable 6:0. Our goalkeeper (Ezekiel) did brilliantly to keep a clean sheet. Well done Moat House!
Racing Driver Interview: On Wednesday 13th November, we were visited by a real life racing driver – Kevin Hansen from Veloce. Eight of our children (Munirah, Marafi, Milosz, Joshua (Year 6), Maci, Jan (Year 5), Marley J and Michal (Year 4) had the amazing opportunity to meet Kevin and ask him questions about his life and career. This was all captured on film and will be published on their You Tube channel. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were fantastic representatives for Moat House.
Children in Need: Thank you to everyone who participated in helping to raise money for Children in Need by coming to school wearing their pyjamas on Friday 15th November, in exchange for £1 or purchasing merchandise.
Anti-Bullying Week: Anti-Bullying Week is an annual UK event, which aims to raise awareness of bullying of children and young people, in schools and elsewhere, and to highlight ways of preventing and responding to it. The theme this year is "Choose Respect" and the importance of treating people how we would like to be treated ourselves. We started our week (on 12th November) with 'Odd Socks Day' and continued to discuss the difference between unkind behaviour and bullying. The children were reminded that bullying is intentional repeated acts, which target the same individual.

Wed 13 Nov 20244NL’s Class Assembly: Thank you to 4NL who shared a very appropriate assembly on Friday 8th November, all about Remembrance. They shared artwork, sang a song and read poems that they had written themselves. It was wonderful for us all to be reminded about this important commemoration to remember those who lost their lives in past and current wars. Thank you 4NL.
Football Success: On Wednesday 6th November, the Moat House football team competed in their first match of the Harry Shaw Cup tournament against Joseph Cash Primary School. Moat House played extremely well and kept possession by passing the ball around. By half time, the score was 0:3 to us and we were looking very comfortable. The final score was 3:8 – four goals each for Bradley and Max. What a great start to the tournament! Reported by Ezekiel and Jamal.
