In the week commencing 27^th February, the children at Moat House celebrated World Book Day. Across the whole school, each class focussed on the book 'Pretty' by Canizales, which teaches children all about the importance of loving themselves as they are. With this in mind, on Thursday 2^nd March, the children came to school dressed as themselves or wearing something they felt represented them. Several competitions were also run across the school with many children winning book tokens to be spent at the book fair, which will arrive at school in April. As well as exploring this book, children took part in a range of other activities, from online webinars with famous authors and performing stand up comedy to baking gingerbread men and going on book hunts! All children thoroughly enjoyed their book themed week and we are hopeful that they now love books even more!

On Friday 3^rd March, 5JK enjoyed their first session of Bikeability. The session involved the children learning how to safely get on and off a bike, how to push themselves off to start riding and how to ride a bike correctly. For the more confident bike riders, an explanation of how to signal before turning was given and the children then had the chance to try out the skill. All of the children were really well behaved and cannot wait for their next session.
