  Dodgeball at AT7:            On Thursday 16^th October, there was a dodgeball competition – it was fun! People think that whoever won the most games, won the gold medal but the team who won showed the values of teamwork, respect and honesty. There were twelve games in total and Moat House won two games. Although we did not come first, it was still an amazing experience! (Written by Zaytoon in Year 5)

   

  Year 6 Theatre Visit:   On Thursday 16^th October, Year 6 enjoyed a trip to the Belgrade Theatre to watch Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, but in a musical form. The musical was fantastic with all the singing, acting and dancing. Everyone enjoyed it and had a blast! (Written by Evie in Year 6).

  Year 2 Library Visit:    On Thursday 9th and Friday 10th October, the Year 2 classes followed a route that they had planned in geography lessons to get from Moat House Primary School to Bell Green Library. They looked for road names and key features to help them to know they were going the right way. They found lots of human features such as the bridge, shops, roads, houses, flats and the roundabout and they also identified the river, which is a physical feature. While at the library they were shown lots of maps of the local area then had chance to draw their own maps.

   

  Year 3 Geography Walk:         On Tuesday 7th October, our Year 3 students enjoyed an exciting walk around the local area, as part of their geography learning. The children explored both physical and human geographical features, spotting things like hills, trees, rivers, roads, bridges, and buildings. When they returned, they looked at maps to plot out their journey and had fun identifying landmarks they recognised. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that helped bring their geography lessons to life!

   

  Year 5 and 6 Internet Safety Workshops:        On Monday 6th October, Year 5 and Year 6 took part in an informative online safety workshop led by West Midlands Police. The session focused on how to stay safe while gaming, messaging and communicating online. The children learned about the importance of keeping personal information private and recognising the potential risks of sharing too much online. They also discussed age restrictions on games and apps, exploring why some content isn’t suitable for younger users. The children asked thoughtful questions and showed great awareness of how to use technology responsibly and respectfully.

  6JK’s Class Assembly:  On Friday 3^rd October, we enjoyed the first class assembly of the year and were impressed with the amount of learning that 6JK have done after only a few weeks being back at school! They informed us about how amazing the human body is and explained the workings of the brain and nervous system, the heart and circulatory system, the lungs and respiratory system, the digestive system and finally the muscles and bones. They then reminded us about the healthy habits, like eating a balanced diet, exercising, getting enough sleep and limiting screen time, we should all adopt in order to keep our bodies in good shape. Thanks very much to 6JK!

   

  Phonics in Reception:    On Thursday 2^nd October, we welcomed parents and carers into school to find out about how we teach phonics at Moat House. Parents were then given the opportunity to watch their child being taught phonics in their groups. Please can you help your child at home by playing Fred games (eg: stroke the c-a-t, eat your e-gg and ch-i-p-s) and reading them a story at bedtime.
