This annual event is full of excitement. All children wear goggles and watch a safety video before the knockout competition begins! This year the final was between Pollyanna and Ethan with Ethan becoming the very jubilant winner.
Languages Day
For Languages Day, Year 6 had a focus of Ukraine. We dressed in blue and yellow and learned lots about life in Ukraine. We were very lucky to have Mrs Cuirlov come in. She taught us lots and had even prepared some food for us. Thank you so much. It was amazing!
Clay birds
As part of our transition into year 6, we made some clay birds (we made card ones in year 5).
Blackberry Jam!
What a way to start the year.
We went out around the grounds and collected blackberries.
We then made our delicious blackberry jam!
We then sold the jam.
All profits will go towards buying den building equipment!
Thank you to Cherry Tree preserves for donating many of the jars.

Olympic visitor in school
What a special day for Moorlands school. We were very lucky to take part in fitness circuit with Luke Delahunty.
Outdoor Learning - Grounds day
Deer class have enjoyed lots of outdoor learning. They made bird feeders from old coconuts and then put some in the school grounds to encourage birds into school. The children also collected sticks etc. to create a class bug hotel. Finally, they planted garlic cloves which they are looking forward to harvesting in 8 months’ time. We were lucky to have bulbs donated to us so we planted lots of bulbs in the school and in pots to use later for a special occasion – shh! it’s a secret!!
Mayan masks
Deer class were lucky to take part in an Art on wheels workshop from Southampton art gallery. It was very cool and linked to our work in History on the Mayans. The children had a lot of fun creating their clay mask and were very proud of their final piece.
Whole school nature day
For school nature day deer class took part in a fungi investigation in the school grounds. they were amazed how many different types they found and now are fungi experts !! Also they learnt how to whittle a stick and once they had created an arrow in small groups they designed a game they could play with it.
Conker championship
Deer class enjoyed having a conker tournament in school. For many children this was the first time they had played conkers so they had to learn all the rules. Congratulations to Iladaya for being the champion !!
Reading morning
This was our first reading morning where parents were invited to join us in class to share all the good reading that takes place in Deer class. Thank you to all those parents that joined us.
Clay birds - transition art
