Latest Poll Results: Favourite Outdoor Activity

The latest poll results are in, and we now know which activities Moor Hall blog readers enjoy doing outside the most. As you can see on the chart (click to enlarge), swimming and cycling were firm favourites, with sports almost as popular. Poor old gardening got no votes at all!

There were a few who picked other - if you were one of these, why not leave us a comment below to let us know what your favourite activity is?

The latest poll is also now up - why not look to the right to let us know what you're most looking forward to about the summer holidays?

KS1 Lego Club

Our new Lego club began yesterday. Mrs. Russell introduced the children to the club and talked about how we hope it will run. The children discussed possible themes for building Lego models and also the Golden Rules within the club.

The children have made models which you can see below.





I wonder how well KS2 will do tonight!

Welcome to our visitors from India.

Our visitors arrived in Birmingham on Sunday morning at 8.00a.m. They had been travelling for 24 hours! Their hotel room wasn't ready so they visited my house for a cup of tea and to freshen up.
Then we went for an early lunch. After that they said they'd like to go into the Bullring in Birmingham.
Off we went for some retail therapy.
They were pleased to check into their hotel at 3.30 pm.

Yesterday, delegates representing four schools from the Punjab in northern India visited Moor Hall School.
The children did a fantastic job by welcoming them with music. The delegates were very impessed by the singing and playing - especially the younger children who played the violin.

Many thanks to all the staff who worked so hard with the children to make our assembly a success.

The assembly was followed by a  tour of the school. They said the art work around school was impressive and it has given them lots of ideas to take home with them.


They left Moor Hall School at 12.30 for lunch hosted by Mrs. Allen at Whitehouse Common School and to meet The Lord Mayor and his wife the Lady Mayoress.  Again the children welcomed them all and enjoyed singing and dancing for them.
We are delighted that Mrs. Gagan Bedi will be spending the rest of the week in school with us here at Moor Hall. She is from Saupin's School. This is the school I spent time in during my visit to India and is our Global Partnership link school. Gagun will be spending time in each class. The children will be considering environmental issues and how we can further develop our links together.
