Wildlife Area Developments

This wee we have had further development with our wildlife area. This is now starting to look really impressive in line with the drawings that the children made. In the pictures below you can see our bug hotel, a new pathway and seating area, an area where we can start an outdoor fire and new planting and bird feeders. The children are restoring some garden furnishings (including the shed) and there will be a new pond arriving soon!

Mrs Glare and the wildlife club have been doing a marvellous job!

Magical Unicorns

Summer Term 1:
At Moorhens, children made magical unicorns out of cardboard and decorated them with wool. They added beautiful gems and sequins to complete the finishing touch.

EYFS and School Entrance Improvements

In recent weeks we have been looking at how we can make improvements to the entrance to our school and the area immediately outside of Early Years. We have also been considering how we can make improvements to the security of our site.

The designs that we have now drawn up and have submitted for planning will enable us to make the following improvements -

Early Years

• Increased learning space for Reception children, both internally and externally.
• Modern accessible toilet facilities for Reception children.
• Access to a larger outdoor learning space for Reception children.
• A more flexible teaching area in order to enhance curriculum delivery and efficiently use resources.

Access to School

• A wider path access avoiding muddy areas.
• More secure access to the site directly to the office. 
• Unobtrusive but secure fencing.

Internal improvements

•  Improved office facilities
• Additional staff facilities

We will be giving an opportunity for parents and residents to see the plans at school in the next weeks. A letter will go out once the date has been confirmed.

This is a very exciting potential development for Moor Hall. Our priority will always be the safety and well being of the children.  We would like to improve our EYFS provision further and the plans would help us greatly in achieving this aim.

This is a school led project and so any queries should be made directly to the school.

Moorhens Easter Nest makes

Today the children had the chance to make "Chocolate Easter Nests".
They had fun mixing the chocolate and shredded wheat together to make the nest and then topping it off with mini eggs.
Happy Easter from all the staff at Moorhens.
