Learning comes to life outside the classroom! 🌿💦
Our Years 3 and 4 had an amazing day at Cuerden Valley becoming real geographers and scientists. They explored the river, identified insects and river wildlife, measured the width and depth of the river, investigated how clean the water is, and learned all about key river features including meanders, deposits and the mouth of a river.
There was plenty of hands-on learning (and a lot of splashing!) as the children immersed themselves in their field study experience. 🌍🦋🐟

🥤🐉 Mrs Redmayne’s class became smoothie tasters as part of our exciting persuasive writing unit!
The children sampled a range of delicious smoothies and used their senses to generate powerful descriptive vocabulary. From sweet and juicy to refreshingly tropical and bursting with flavour, our young writers worked hard to collect language that will help them create persuasive adverts for their very own Dragon Fruit Smoothies.
We discussed flavours, textures, aromas and appearance, building a bank of ambitious words and persuasive phrases ready for our next writing challenge.
Watch this space for some irresistible smoothie adverts coming soon! 🍓🍍🐉✨

Moorland Nursery School, Clitheroe
✨S N E A K P E A K ✨
Last week, we welcomed the incredibly talented Matthew from @natural.light.photos for the first of two photography sessions as we begin an exciting overhaul of our website and prospectus! 📸
To say we are over the moon with the results would be an understatement. These photographs capture everything we love about Moorland; the joy, curiosity, confidence and magical moments that happen every single day.
Choosing just a handful to share has been almost impossible… so here’s a little sneak peek of some of our favourites! 🤎
We can’t wait to welcome Matthew back in a couple of weeks to capture even more of what makes our nursery so special.
If you’re looking for a photographer to capture your own family’s special moments, we couldn’t recommend Matthew highly enough. Please do give Natural Light Photography a follow, his talent, patience and ability to capture genuine moments are second to none. 📷✨
Watch this space… there’s so much more to come!

What a week it has been! 💛
Whilst the soaring temperatures have certainly tested us all, it certainly hasn’t stopped the fun!
From Forest School adventures and water play to swimming lessons, sensory exploration, outdoor games and endless opportunities to learn through play, our children have continued to thrive with smiles that say it all ✨
A huge thank you must go to our incredible team. Throughout one of the hottest weeks of the year, they have shown nothing but dedication, resilience, kindness and professionalism. They have worked tirelessly to keep every child safe, comfortable, engaged and smiling - you are simply AMAZING 🤎
To our wonderful families, thank you for your patience, support & most importantly, for continuing to entrust us with your precious little ones during such challenging conditions. We know how difficult the week has been for everyone and we are incredibly grateful for your continued trust and understanding.
As always, our priority has remained the same: ensuring every child is safe, happy and making magical memories.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend, here’s to slightly cooler temperatures next week! ☀️

What better way to round off a very hot and very sweaty week than with a surprise visit from the wonderful Abbey Ice Cream Van! 🍦
From our Babies to our biggest School Ready children, everyone enjoyed a delicious summer treat & the smiles on their faces said it all!
It was the perfect way to cool down, celebrate an incredible week and make some extra special memories together 💛
A huge thank you to Abbey Ice Cream Van for bringing even more happiness to our children (and our staff too!)
Here’s to sunshine, laughter, sticky fingers, happy hearts and making magical childhood memories! ☀️

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!
