A few uplifting Samba rhythms to start this sunny day!
Stars of the Week 15th July
Mufti Day doesn’t stop Star of the Week here at Moorfield! Well done everyone!
Year 5, Base 1 DT – the one where Mr Bussey ate the bolognese!
The Year 5’s have been investigating how to make recipes healthier and made some healthy swaps to a basic spaghetti bolognese recipe.
They cooked the healthiest new recipes in teams today and enjoyed tasting them for an early lunch.
There was even enough to take some home for tea!
Butterflies in Reception!
Mrs Branch spoke to all the children in Reception about butterflies and how they transformed from caterpillars.
The children had caterpillars in the classroom and eagerly checked on them everyday to see what had happened.
They watched the caterpillar grow into a chrysalis and then one day they walked into the classroom and there was a butterfly!
Mrs Branch and the children then released the butterflies and we have added some photographs below.
STEAM WORKSHOP
Last week, Year 5 have had a fabulous day at Haberdashers’ Adams where they took part in a STEAM workshop (science, technology, engineering, art and maths). The task for the day was to construct a rollercoaster for a marble out of art straws and card. The children worked in groups exploring structures and shapes for strength before working on their rollercoaster. There was a huge focus on team work and exploring ideas throughout the day. They all did fantastically well and created some amazing structures.
Newport Show
Every year the school takes part in the Newport Show by having a small stand and also by growing some potatoes to enter in the school competition.
Representatives from the Show came for “The Great Potato Dig Up” .
The children were very excited to see how they had grown. The representative from the Show said that our potatoes looked good!
Sadly they weren’t quite good enough to win – we came fifth. Newport Girls High school won the top prize. We share a site with the Girls High and Mr Bussey joked “perhaps they had better weather!”
Year 6 Prom before !
Star of the Week 8th July
Meet our Stars of the week from 8th July – well done everyone!
London Trip
Mr Bussey, our Headteacher has been talking in assembly about different themes and has introduced the children to some well known people and pointed out that there were statues of them in London.
He said to the children that if they went to London they should see if they could find some of the statues and have their photograph taken in front of them.
This pupil has done just that and had a great time travelling around London sightseeing finished off by a concert by his favourite band Madness – which, incidentally, was the inspiration for the Suggs costume at the carnival!
