On Tuesday 17^th May, our Year 6 children were lucky enough to take part in a workshop run by an architect! They learnt all about what the job entails and how to become an architect, before exploring different styles of buildings around the UK. They then learnt specifically about Tudor and Victorian houses, and how they differed from one another and from more modern buildings. Once they'd learnt all about these features, they had the opportunity to design their own building before using junk modelling materials to build their own houses. The children will continue to work on their projects over a few more sessions until they are perfect. Once complete, the finished projects will be showcased in a final workshop where the architect will return to celebrate the children's hard work. Well done Year 6. 

On Thursday 19^th May, our football team took on local rivals, Frederick Bird. Furaha opened the scoring with an early goal and Moat House did well to maintain this lead until after half time. The players battled hard to keep a clean sheet but unfortunately it wasn’t to last and the opposition eventually scored. We were delighted with a 1:1 draw at full time and players of the match were Henley, Filip and Riley, who made a crucial line clearance.

Coventry and Warwickshire Radio visited our school on Friday 20^th May and captured the moment Dave Moorcroft officially opened the Year 6 stairwell.

On Friday 20^th May, we were delighted to welcome Dave Moorcroft in to Moat House to officially open the stairwell up to the Year 6 classrooms, where a unique Coventry timeline has recently been installed. It was a particularly special event, as it was our first whole school assembly, since the Covid pandemic began and so it was wonderful to see the children from Year 1 to Year 6 altogether again. Dave Moorcroft, who was the world record holder for the 5000 metres from 1982 – 1985, gave us all a fascinating insight into the build up to his amazing athletic achievement and inspired the children with his encouraging words to try your best in all that you do. It was wonderful to meet Dave as he is the namesake for one of our house teams and we hope that he will visit us again soon.

After the success of last half term’s Wheel of Winners for children with 100% attendance, we repeated the lucky wheel of fortune on Friday 6^th May.

The lucky winners are as follows: Senai, Aariana, Henley, Mohamed, Shamil, Riley, Amelia, Samiha, Inayah and Julian.

Our Year 6 children completed their Key Stage 2 SATs in the week beginning 9^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 (and parents!) for excellent attendance during this week.
