During Spring Term, one of our topic choices focused on the theme, Disney and Dragons. The children really enjoyed creating and decorating their very own Disney mirrors.

Autumn Term 1 2024

During this half term, we have focused our activities on culture, in line with culture week within school this half term. The children have had the opportunity to take part in an arts and craft activity, whereby they designed, cut and glued their paper people. Each paper person was different to show how diverse everyone is in the world. We also discussed the meaning of the word “diversity” in order to enhance the children’s understanding of the world today.

During Summer Term 2, the Moorhens children have been involved in a variety of Olympic activities, in preparation for the Paris Olympics 2024.

The children have had a fun-filled first half term and have taken part in lots of activities, including, bread making, painting and decorating pumpkins.

Children, who have been following our golden rules have received "superhero" certificates and been awarded them in front of their peers.

Congratulations to all the children who have received those certificates.

At Moorhens we entered the Grand Designs competition. Children designed their own houses and the focus was to think about the environmental and eco-friendly aspects of their build. 

At the Grand Designs Live at the NEC, Kevin McCloud discussed the children's houses in detail and chose a winner. Please visit our Twitter page, whereby you can see lots of the houses and the videos with Kevin McCloud and the winner's house.

Well done to all the children who took part.

This term our topic was "Planets and Outer Space". From Early Years to year 6, all children contributed to some wonderful artwork. This was in keeping with the Moor Hall Child.

The Achieving Child

Takes the opportunity to learn about the world around us and beyond. How everything we do affects us in our everyday lives and how we can contribute to make our world a better place to live.

This term our topics were Birthdays and Christmas. All children added their names and birthday dates onto cut out balloon shapes, which they then added to the wall display. They also made a house out of cardboard, to which real balloons were added above. This made the house look like it was flying in the air.

KS1 learnt about friendship and what the key to friendship means. A couple of quotes have been added by the children.

EYFS children made a lovely colourful display of winter hats and gloves. They enjoyed having fun with glitter and sequins.

The Moor Hall Child is a confident and achieving child, who learns about the world around them and includes all in their friendships and celebrations.

EYFS children spent time collecting leaves before painting and printing them onto paper. This was a great social activity where children got to know one another and shared ideas and stories.

Year 1 children decorated yummy cakes and as you can see on their faces, they had a fabulous time and couldn't wait to eat them.

Year 2 Made some spectacular fireworks out of cardboard rolls to go on display. KS2 made a sea night scene for our display and added a fantastic lighthouse to shine out onto the fish trawler catching a large haul of fish

The Moor Hall Child: The Achieving and confident child works hard and loves the challenges of learning how to work with different kinds of art media
