Junior Speaks
Mon 18 Mar 2019Moira Primary School was invited to take part in the Rotary ‘Junior Speak’ event.

What would I see on a Kenyan safari?
Tue 05 Mar 2019Our Reception topic this half term has been ‘What would I see on a Kenyan Safari?'. The children learnt about Africa, about towns and the countryside and going to school. They observed the weather here to compare to Kenya. The children explored colour mixing and hot colours to make an African sunset piece of art. We learnt African songs with Mrs Burgess. Today they tasted African fruits and then read our new book 'Handa's surprise'.

It is all about the skills!
Tue 05 Mar 2019We are very lucky at Moira to have some wonderful resources right on our doorstep! Not only do we have our own woodland area where children and staff can deliver Forest School curriculum but also can combine this with activities at our local Forest School provision just a wander down the road! This allows the children to develop skills that will stay with them for life and experience and develop a love of the outdoor world that is so often missing in today’s society. On top of that Mrs Bourne our trained Forest School teacher has some plans for developing our Forest School provision on site and we have had the pleasure of Mr E working with Team 6... an activity they loved! #zest #problemsolving #teamwork
