Moorhens
Competition
We are holding another competition for the children.We would like the children to design a poster on A4 size paper, highlighting health and saftey dangers around the home. It can be painted, coloured, or even a collage. All children who enter the competition will recieve a certificate and the winners (one for the infants and one for the juniors) will recieve a certificate and a prize.
Learning to sew
Girls and boys of all ages have been learning to use needles and thread. Some have been doing plaiting, whilst others have been using materials with needles and thread , as in the picture on the left and all have been enjoying their experiences.
Aiming Higher Award
Over the last two years we have been putting together evidence for our Aiming Higher folder. We have now come to the end of our journey and have sent our folder off to be assessed. We are to be assessed ouselves within the next few months and hopefully we will earn our "Aiming Higher" Quality Award for our club.
New Co-ordinator
As from the new term Mrs Conrad will be taking over as the new Co-ordinator of the club. Mrs Crump will be standing down, but will still be working within the club. We all thank Mrs Crump for doing such a wonderful job.

We are experiencing technical problems and can't get Mrs Russell's or my groups' photos. I will carry on trying but things shut down over Easter! If you were in one of those 2 groups I will give you time during the first week back to paste in your photos if you bring your report on a memory stick. Sorry for the inconvenience - you can still do the writing though! Mrs M

Pupils learn about Egyptians, the Japanese and... Narnians?
New to the website this week, we have some great work from year 3 and year 4.
Earlier on this month, a group of 16 secondary school students from St Mary's C of E School in Japan visited Moor Hall Primary to perform a few songs for our pupils, and to teach them about various aspects of Japanese culture.
If you visit Year 3's page, you can view pictures of them learning some Japanese calligraphy and trying their hands at origami!
Jumping to a completely different culture, Year 4 have been continuing learning about the Ancient Egyptians - this time by dressing up as them!
On top of this, they have been practising their fantasy-writing skills during literacy, by noting down the thoughts and feelings of Lucy as she entered the world of Narnia. There's been some great results to this - have a look at them on the Year 4 page!

Abernant Day 4
So the rain held off for a lovely morning's activities...... children enjoyed climbing and had great fun on the blind trail and loved the archery. Highlights of the day included lots of screaming children on top of the climbing wall; Mrs Clewer washing her hair; children caked in mud from head to toe and the washing down of muddy clothes.
You will all be very pleased to hear that the children are very weary and we are hoping for an earely night!! Please stock up on washing powder in preparation for the contents of their suitcases!

Abernant Day 3 - More mud!!
Another fabulous and eventful day. After a hearty breakfast and a lot of deliberation about the best clothing to wear, the morning activities commenced!These were all centred around the lake and involved canoes, kayaks and water.... Mrs Menmuir soon discovered that the lake wasnt anywhere near as deep as it looked!
During the evening the children went for a long walk in the dark - the instructors commented on how excellent they were as a group. Children concluded the day with a very much needed sleep.
(Further updates this evening after 9pm.)
