  Welcome Back:     It was great to see the children back in school on Tuesday 5^th September and I hope that they have all enjoyed their first few days in their new classes. They were all very smartly dressed and looked wonderful! The Year 6 children looked especially grown up in their new black sweatshirts and seem ready to take on the mantle of being role models for the rest of the school. I am looking forward to another exciting year at Moat House and look forward to meeting you at Parents’ Evening, class assemblies or on the playground at the start or end of the school day.

   

  Macmillan Coffee morning:           On Friday 22nd September, we will be holding a non-uniform day in exchange for a donation of shop bought cakes (which will need to be in date and edible for at least a week). The following week (Friday 29^th September), we will be participating in the national Macmillan coffee morning. Parents, carers, relatives and friends are invited to join us in the school dining area from 9:15 am – 10:15 am, to enjoy a coffee (or tea) and a cake for a small donation. Our children, of course, will not be missing out - there will be a cake sale during the day, so children are invited to bring along 20p to buy a cake. We look forward to welcoming you in school and we would like to thank you for supporting us to raise money for the fabulous work that the Macmillan nurses do.

   

  School Bank:  On Tuesday, the Moat House School Bank will be open again for anyone who wishes to make a deposit or a withdrawal. Many of our children have now opened accounts and are saving hard for things like spending money for their holidays or Christmas presents. If your child would like to begin saving using the School Bank, please complete an application form and bring your first deposit along to the bank, which is open every Tuesday morning at 8:40 am. Forms are available from the school office.

• 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!
