Festive Fun
Wed 05 Jan 2022On Wednesday 15th December, we all got into the Christmas spirit and participated in Christmas jumper day. Thank you to everyone who contributed with donations - we managed to raise £112, which will be given to Save the Children for all their fantastic work. We all also enjoyed a traditional festive lunch; the children were served with turkey, vegetables, stuffing and gravy, followed by mince pies and ice cream, whilst listening to some festive music.

Farewell Elaine
Wed 05 Jan 2022On Thursday 16th December, we wished Elaine Wilson farewell after an amazing thirty three years of service to Coventry City Council at Moat House Primary School. Elaine has been a loyal and committed worker throughout her time as a Senior Dinner Supervisor and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when she finally hung up her whistle and left the building yesterday!

Switch off Fortnight
Mon 29 Nov 2021The final day for Switch off fortnight was Friday 19th November. It was observed during these two weeks that children (and adults!) became a lot more conscious about switching off appliances and turning off lights. We took meter readings before and afterwards and found that we had used 17% less energy over the fortnight, which is a significant saving! So well done to everybody and just because the official fortnight is over, it doesn’t mean that we should abandon our new habits – let’s keep switching off to save money and save the planet!

Year 5 Visits
Mon 29 Nov 2021On Thursday 25th November, Year 5 visited the National Space Centre in Leicester. We explored the six galleries there. In the 'Space Oddities' gallery, we were able to see some unusual objects, which revealed some of the less well-known stories in space history. We also explored the forty two metre high 'Rocket Tower' where we were able to see some real rockets. We also watched the show 'Astronauts' in the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium. During the show, we were able to experience a rocket launch from inside the body of an astronaut. We were also able to explore the amazing worlds of inner and outer space, from floating around the International Space Station to manoeuvring through microscopic regions of the human body. We all had a fantastic day and learned lots of information to support our learning in our upcoming science lessons!

YR Trip to Coombe Country Park
Tue 23 Nov 2021On Thursday 11th November, our Reception children enjoyed an autumnal walk through the grounds of Coombe Abbey. The children spent time spotting and studying signs of autumn, completing a scavenger hunt, and completing leaf and bark rubbings. Much fun was had climbing over logs, walking through the woods and retelling the story of the bear hunt but the children were most fascinated by the colours of all the different trees! To finish the day off the children had the opportunity to play in the woodland playground.

British Science Day
Tue 23 Nov 2021On Wednesday 10th November, we acknowledged British Science Day 2021. The theme for this year was 'The Future of Science Technology and Innovation: Impacts on Education, Skills, and Work'. Each class had the opportunity to think about how science has influenced and impacted our daily lives. The whole school took part in a competition entitled 'Zoom Out' - there will be a prize for the child with the most correct answers from each year group!

Reception Requests
Wed 20 Oct 2021Our Reception teachers plan a lot of the learning for children in the outdoor area and they like to take the children outside whether it be rain or shine. If you have any wellies which your children have outgrown and may be suitable to donate, then please think of our Reception children. Wellies for children of age 3 – 6 would be gratefully received – please give any donations to the school office. Thank you.
