🐧 Year 1 Penguin Learning! 🐧
Year 1 have worked incredibly hard last half term on their penguin topic! They kicked off their unit with a fantastic trip to the zoo, where the children learnt lots of amazing facts about penguins. 🐧❄️
Back in the classroom, they have been busy exploring what penguins have, what they can do and where they live. They made sure they gathered lots of facts and information to help them prepare for creating their very own informational posters.
The children did a fantastic job turning their facts into full sentences, using connective links ‘and’ and ‘because’ to add more detail to their writing. ✏️
🎬 Here is our Year 1 Penguin Movie, where the children proudly show off all the amazing facts they have learnt!
We are so proud of their hard work! 🌟🐧

One whole school. One pumpkin patch. So many happy memories. 🎃💙
We rounded off our first half term with a whole-school pumpkin-picking adventure @ribblevalleypumpkins and what a lovely way to finish!
A chance to get outside, enjoy being together and search for that all-important perfect pumpkin. Big ones, little ones, wonderfully wonky ones… choosing was all part of the fun! 🍂
After a half term of hard work, friendships and so much learning, it was lovely to share one more adventure before the holidays.
Happy half term from our Moorland family to yours! 💙

Small voices, powerful messages! 🎨💬
Through their art topic, ‘Make My Voice Heard’, the children explored how graffiti can communicate ideas, designing their own artwork around messages that matter to them.
Kindness, belong, recycle, love and joy-such lovely words to share with the world! 💛
For their final pieces, the children visited the atelier to bring their designs to life in colour.
Well done to our young artists for using their creativity to make their voices heard! 🌟

Little drawings, big imaginations! 🎃✏️💙
Inspired by the story of Christopher Pumpkin, our Reception children have been busy in Drawing Club, designing their own main characters and imagining the adventures they might have!
It’s lovely to see their ideas come to life on the page as they explore storytelling through drawing and writing.
Here’s a little look at some of their wonderful work. Well done, Reception, we’re so proud of your creativity! 🌟

A little baking, a little learning and a lovely Wellbeing Wednesday! 🧁💙
Yesterday, our children explored “Keep Learning”-one of the Five Ways to Wellbeing promoted by the NHS. Trying a new hobby can be a wonderful way to build confidence and enjoy a sense of achievement. And what a delicious hobby baking could be! 🍪
Following a rocky road recipe gave our young learners the chance to try something new, develop practical skills and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something themselves.
As we continue working towards our Wellbeing Award for Schools, our Wednesday sessions help children discover simple ways to care for their wellbeing-at school and beyond.

✏️🎨 Some of our KS1 children have been developing their shading techniques through observational drawing, looking closely at line, shape and tone, using various teddies as their inspiration.
Taking time to notice the little details and experiment with light and shade- such concentration and creativity from our young artists! 💙

Sometimes, our children say it best.
Kindness, encouragement and the joy of learning are at the heart of life at Moorland Junior School. Our small classes give teachers time to know each child-their strengths, their interests and when they need a little extra support.
Because feeling happy, safe and understood helps children build the confidence to ask questions, try something new and keep going when learning gets tricky. 🌟
Come and discover our Moorland family. To arrange a personal tour, email abrotherton@moorlandschool.co.uk.

Look at our little cyclists go! 🚲
Our 2-3’s have been busy putting their gross motor skills to the test, whizzing around our outdoor environment on their bikes and scooters! ✨
What might look like a simple bike ride is actually SO much more! Every push, every turn and every little wobble is helping our children develop their balance, coordination, spatial awareness and core strength, all whilst building confidence, independence and resilience!
And those HUGE smiles? Well, they’re just an added bonus!🤎
🌦️ Come rain or shine, we head outdoors EVERY single day!
At Moorland, we believe there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing! Whether it’s sunshine, muddy puddles or a little British drizzle, our children have the freedom to move, explore, take risks and learn through play in the great outdoors.

PUMPKINS, PUDDLES & PLENTY OF MUD! 🍂🎃
Our School Ready and Pre-School children enjoyed the most wonderful autumn adventure Ribble Valley Pumpkins 🧡
It may have been a little (VERY!) muddy, but that only added to the excitement! Muddy boots, rosy cheeks, endless laughter and lots of happy little faces made for a truly fantastic day! 🥾
Exploring the pumpkin patch, embracing the great outdoors and making precious memories with their friends, the most fun was had, as always! 🤎

Our School Ready children have been exploring the beautiful story of Leaf Man, taking their learning beyond the classroom and out into the autumn sunshine🌳
After sharing the story together, they wrapped up and headed out on an autumnal walk to forage for our very own natural treasures, searching for leaves of all shapes, sizes and colours, along with sticks, seeds and all the wonderful things autumn has to offer🍁
Back in the classroom, those treasures were transformed as the children used their imaginations to create their very own Leaf Men. We loved seeing how completely different each creation was, lots of creativity, careful choices and brilliant conversations along the way✨
A story brought to life through literacy, nature, exploration and creativity… just how we like our learning! 🤎

Reception absolutely loved today’s Forest School session! 🌿🌧️
A little rain (and a lot of mud!) never stops our youngest explorers.
Today’s adventure was all about puddle jumping, muddy hands, teamwork and embracing the great outdoors in all its autumn glory.
These sessions build confidence, resilience and a real connection with nature! 🥾🍂💛

When a teacher truly knows every child - their strengths, quirks, worries and sparks of curiosity becomes deeply personal. ❤️🍎
It’s not about delivering a lesson to a group.�It’s about building relationships, trust and a sense of belonging that helps every child flourish.
In a smaller class:�✨ Children have the confidence to speak, to question, to try.�✨ Teachers have the space to adapt, to stretch, to nurture.�✨ Parents see not just progress, but growth - academic, emotional and social.
At Moorland, we see the magic daily - the quiet confidence that builds when a child realises their teacher has time for them.
Because in the end, education isn’t a numbers game.�It’s a human one. ❤️

We were so lucky to have Steph from Steph’s Cleaning Services visit us today as part of our ‘People Who Help Us’ topic! 🤩
Steph shared all about how she helps her clients and businesses, and how she manages her amazing team👩💼✨
The children had a super time learning how to use different cleaning tools, and we even got to clean the toys, the floor, and fold toilet paper! 🧽
It was such a fun, hands-on way to understand the value of teamwork and the importance of helping others.
A massive THANK YOU to Steph for the fantastic lesson and for showing us how every job, big or small, makes a difference! 🙌❤️

🌊 What an adventure by the River Ribble! 🐟💦
Our Key Stage 2 had an amazing day exploring the river, spotting wildlife, and learning all about the life cycles of mayflies and trout! 🪶🐠
There were lots of games, teamwork and hands-on fun as we discovered how rivers are full of life.
Back at school, we continued with more exciting activities to explore life cycles and migration - a fact filled day 🐠 🎣 ✨

What an incredible day at the Moorland Family Fun Afternoon! 🎉
Our school field was bursting with colour and laughter as families enjoyed a fantastic carnival-themed event, brought to life by Moorland Junior School and Moorland Junior School PTA.
From the vibrant face painting and bustling stalls to classic games like Hook a Duck and the Coconut Shy, there was fun at every turn. The inflatable helter skelter by Funtime Inflatables was a huge hit, while little ones loved the soft play and toddler bouncy castle provided by Ribble Valley Soft Play Hire.
🎶 The Ribble Valley Community Band and Phoenix Solo filled the air with music, and Adrian Catch wowed us all with his magical tricks! Families captured memories at the Photo Booth, refuelled with delicious food from Amico Mio, cooled down with ice cream, and relaxed with a drink from the bar.
💛 A massive thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make today so special — what a brilliant celebration of our school community!
