Moor Hall Wildlife Garden Rejuvenation
One of the outside areas here at Moor Hall School has just undergone an amazing tranformation! As part of their silver and bronze RSPB Wildlife Award, Bird Club were tasked with creating a brand new wildlife garden at school.
For this feat, Bird Club members had to clear, survey and dig the area, which they have been working extremely hard on for the last month. They also gave up their Saturday last weekend to come into school to plant up the area. Mrs Glare and an artist had designed some signs, and the children spray painted them before they went into the garden. The garden itself has numerous features to attract new wildlife, such as a birdbath and feeders, a log-pile and a marshy area. All this can be seen on the before and after picture above - click on it to see what a difference the wildlife garden has made!
Huge thanks to Mrs Glare and the Bird Club for undertaking this task, to the helpers on the day, and to those parents and garden centres who donated plants for the garden!

Moor Hall Mix.... Coming Soon
In ICT Club we have been very busy planning our new show, Moor Hall Mix. We won't reveal any details about the show just yet, but stay tuned for more information over the coming weeks!
So far this half term we have used mind mapping tools to brainstorm our ideas and word processing tools to write our scripts. We have also dabbled with some image editing programs to create some logo ideas for Moor Hall Mix.
Soon we will be recording our show and if all goes well, Moor Hall Mix will be available to watch on the school website and here on the blog! Keep an eye on the blog for future updates!

World Book Day
Here are some of Class 4's favourite books.
We thought about them because it is World Book Day this week!

I love the Smartest Giant In Town; the front cover attracts me straight away, the reason it attracts me is because the picture is brilliant, somebody in our classsaid (and I agree) that a picture shows a thousand words.
I have had this book since I was 2; I read it every night after a different book because if the different book is scary or sad it prevents me from having nightmares. In this book a scruffy giant gets some smart clothes but on the way back home he meets various animals who desperately need his help, and his clothes!
I explained to my mates and teacher why this is my favourite book.
