Guinness World Record Attempt

In fitness this term, the children are joining in the Mini London Marathon.

The TCS Mini London Marathon in schools is back, with a special challenge for 2023!
This year, every child who takes part in the TCS Mini London Marathon in schools will be involved in a real-life world record attempt! 🤯 We’ve teamed up with Guinness World Records™ to create this truly special challenge. It is completely free of charge to enter and takes place between Monday 17 April and Friday 12 May. We’re asking schools to sign up their pupils to run, jog, walk or wheel one mile as part of the TCS Mini London Marathon in schools and if we succeed, every school that takes part will receive a certificate from Guinness World Records to display. If you think you know a school that might be interested then forward this email or send them the link below. 

We have added some videos of Base 1 & 4 children running their mile for the Guinness World record attempt for Most Children to pledge to a Physical Activity 

Our Coronation Street Party

Today the children came to school dressed in Red, White and Blue. Mr Bussey led an assembly and then at lunchtime the kitchen staff decorated the hall so the children could have a street party.

Later on children will be presented with a Coronation medal as a souvenir and also a cone of red, white and blue sweets very kindly donated and put together by the PTFA.

Forest School Activity Club

Every week we have a KS1 Forest School Club and a KS2 Forest School Club. The children (and the staff) really enjoy it and it is a highlight of the week.

We have attached a few photos of the activities for you to look at.

You can see where children made a castle with a moat . He filled it with water because he had been learning about moats in Reception that day and wanted to re-create it.

Mrs Stewart also got more of the boys creating their own mud slide.

Children’s Safeguarding Board

You may already know that we have formed a Children’s Safeguarding Board in our school who meet regularly with a member of staff to work with them on our safeguarding processes in school.

They have recently renamed themselves as the “Safety Squad” and we encourage you to read more information about them below.

Moorfield Safety Squad

We want the children in our school to feel safe when they are here.  We recognise that sometimes people might feel worried about something, and we want children to know what to do if this happens to them.

Our Safety Squad plays an important role in our school community and help children to feel safe and happy when they are here.

They have identified the follow list of things that they do in our school.

  • To talk to people if they need us.
  • To help make people feel safer in school.
  • Passing on information to children about important things.
  • Find out what our children think – this is called pupil voice.
  • Answer questions that children might have.
