• Chestnut Farm - Forest School

  Thu 24 Oct 2019 KHambleton
  Providing Forest School experiences both at school and at our local provision is an important part of our rich curriculum as it develops key skills. Reception children enjoyed a warm Autumn afternoon this week at Chestnut Farm. The children worked well as a team to hunt for different types of seeds, looked at the different trees and enjoyed their fruit in the wood. #loveoflearning

  Mon 23 Sep 2019 K Hambleton
  What a fantastic way to start the new academic term for year 5! Fantastic opportunities to demonstrate problem solving, reasoning, perseverance and team building... all values that our staff, parents and pupils at Moira work hard to develop. What great fun they are having too. 

  

• Bronze Ambassadors

  Wed 18 Sep 2019 C. Butterworth
  Today, four children from Team 5 attended Bronze Ambassador training which was lots of fun! They will now be working with our other four Bronze Ambassadors from Team 6 to arrange lunch time sporting activities and festivals for the other children across the school. Their can-do attitude, perseverance and  leadership skills shone today. A huge well done to all!

  

• Aldi Kit for Schools

  Tue 17 Sep 2019 Mrs Butterworth
  From 6th September to 3rd November, Aldi are running a promotion to support local primary schools. For every £30 you spend, you can collect a sticker. The goal is to collect 300 stickers in total to be in for the chance to win £20,000 for the school as well as an exclusive sports kit.

   

  If you, or anyone else you know shops at Aldi, please can you make sure you ask for the stickers and then send the stickers into school where the children will be putting them onto the poster outside of the office.

   

  Thanks for your support!

• Moira Science Fair!

  Thu 06 Jun 2019 K. Hambleton
  Year 5 and 6 children had a fantastic time sharing their Science Fair presentations today. Our science Governor Mrs Wyatt had the privilege of viewing each one and the difficult task of judging! We have been so impressed with the children’s ideas and science knowledge. #loveoflearning

  

• Team 5 and 6 Cycling

  Thu 23 May 2019 C Butterworth

  Some children from Team 5 and Team 6 participated in a cycling event at King Edward Sports College. The children showed perseverance, resilience and excellent teamwork skills throughout the morning. It was a tough challenge for them, as they had to cycle up-hill a lot and learn to use gears to help during different parts of the course. We had a team pursuit, a team relay and boys and girls races. Even Mrs Butterworth and Mrs Perry took part in a teacher race! We were very proud of the children who represented Team Moira!

  

• Open Faith visit for year 4 and 5

  Sat 18 May 2019 K Hambleton
  Respect and tolerance are two character strengths that children and staff at Moira talk about every day.... all part of our ‘Together we try’ motto and well-being work on developing a wide range of positive character strengths. With this in mind our year 4 and 5 children had a wonderful time at the ‘Open Faith’ Centre where they could appreciate the various cultures and religions that are part of our modern society. The children were absolutely fantastic.. we were very proud of them.

  

• Reception Stay and Play

  Tue 14 May 2019 K Hambleton
  At Moira we love having our children learn alongside their family - a perfect opportunity to see how  children are taught in school, to share fun times and feel part of the Moira Community. Reception parents are enjoying our ‘Stay and Play’ sessions. The first visit was to take part in a Maths Mastery session where children were learning all about the number 12 ( in a lot of depth!) It was great to see you all. Keep your eyes open for our future dates.
