Mon 06 Jul 20262RW’s Class Assembly: 2RW shared a wonderfully creative assembly with us on Friday 3rd July. Drawing on their class novel, Matilda, and linking it to their recent learning about space, the children gave a fantastic presentation. They confidently recalled the names of all the planets and delighted us with a beautiful poem about the stars. Thank you, 2RW, for such an engaging and memorable assembly – it was fantastic!
London Calling: On Thursday 2nd July, our School Council members enjoyed a trip to London, where they experienced a boat trip along the River Thames and had fun spotting some famous landmarks, including Tower Bridge and Big Ben. Following this, they were treated to a tour of the Houses of Parliament, where they were even allowed to enter the public galleries where they witnessed the Lords and MPs debating. The children also took part in a fun and interactive workshop and learnt that King Henry VIII used to play tennis in the Palace of Westminster. The children behaved beautifully throughout the day and were a real credit to Moat House.

Year 2 Trip to Coombe Abbey: On Tuesday 30th June, Year 2 enjoyed a wonderful trip to Coombe Abbey. The children were full of excitement from the moment they arrived! They began the day with a lovely walk through the park, taking in the beautiful surroundings and admiring the impressive hotel. The children especially enjoyed watching the swans and ducks along the river. Next, the children took part in a fascinating minibeast hunt. Armed with magnifying glasses, they explored the woodland in search of a variety of minibeasts. Some of the children were even brave enough to hold some of the creatures they discovered! After another walk through the park, they stopped to enjoy their lunch before spending the afternoon making the most of the fantastic play areas and playing football on the field. The children were a real credit to the school throughout the day. Their behaviour was exceptional and we were incredibly proud of the way they represented our school.
Year 5 Trip to Derbyshire: On Monday 29th June, the other half of our Year 5 children, enjoyed an exciting residential visit to Derbyshire. On Monday, they arrived and set off on a woodland walk, where they sang songs, played games and finished the day with a warming hot chocolate. On Tuesday, they visited Conkers and had a fantastic time exploring the many attractions, including The Warren, Dino Dig, the 4D Cinema, the Splash Park and the train ride. On the final day, they visited Rosliston Forestry Centre, where the children worked in teams of four to navigate their way around the woodland, using only a map. It was a wonderful challenge that encouraged teamwork and problem-solving. The residential was a fantastic experience, and everyone had a brilliant time making memories, taking part in new adventures and enjoying sleepovers with their friends.
Year 5 Trip to Conkers: On Monday 29th June, half of our Year 5 children enjoyed an exciting trip to Conkers. During their visit, they tackled the low ropes course, learned about the importance of forests and their role in protecting the environment, explored the adventure playground and took part in a nature walk. One of the highlights of the day was Mr Wood’s experience of a lifetime as he had the opportunity to drive the small train that transports visitors around the park! The children represented the school brilliantly and had a fantastic time throughout the day, creating many wonderful memories.
