We had an enjoyable weekend in France (again) from 27th - 29th May 2023. Despite taking a small squad of just 9 players, we won four of our matches and lost the other three. This meant that we finished 11th out of 20 teams. During the tournament, Filip scored a total of five goals; the most ever scored by a single Moat House player. However, this would not have been possible without the support of the rest of the team. We are very proud of all of them!

Thank you to the many children who participated in our Sky Blue day on Friday 26^th May – it was great to see so many children (and staff!) supporting Coventry by wearing their football kit or sky blue clothes.

On Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25^th May, many of our children enjoyed staying at school to watch Matilda the Musical whilst enjoying some snacks. It was lovely to see the children enjoying a traditional movie with their friends, at school.

On Friday 28^th April, we enjoyed finding out about the learning in 5JK. They have been discovering information about Australia and were able to share many interesting facts. We were fascinated to find out that Australia is thirty two times bigger than the United Kingdom and that 80% of the country consists of desert! Finally, we thoroughly enjoyed listening to the musical talents of Philip, Ibtihaj, Tyrone, Leo and Zackarie, who played a musical extract on their brass instruments - they have learnt so much in their music lessons this year. Thanks 5JK.

Our Year 6 children completed their Key Stage 2 SATs in the week beginning 8^th May. Staff were very impressed with the attitude and behaviour of all the children and we know that whatever the results are, the children couldn’t have worked any harder. We would like to say a huge well done to all of the children for their excellent efforts this week.

On Wednesday 10^th May, Miss Renshaw's class enjoyed a visit to Pizza Express, where they got make their own pizzas, whilst learning all about healthy eating.  The children rolled out the dough, added sauce and cheese and even sampled a variety of pizza toppings! They couldn’t wait to take their pizzas home to share with their families. 

On Tuesday 9^th May. representatives from Foleshill fire service visited 4SG to talk about fire safety. During their visit, the children learnt about escape routes, fire alarms, the danger of prank calls and what information you need to give the operator in an emergency call. Nadia has learnt that “you need smoke alarms up and downstairs.”

It was lovely to watch 1JL’s class assembly on Friday 19^th May. They shared the story “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt,” which they were able to retell perfectly, whilst also sharing some actions! Michaela and Benjamin did a super job of reading a poem. We also learnt some interesting facts about the author Michael Rosen, including that originally he wanted to be a doctor before deciding that he wanted to follow his love of writing and became an author. Thanks 1Jl for a lovely assembly.
