✨ That’s us… over and out for 2025–2026. 💙

What a year it has been.

Our children have surpassed expectations, achieved incredible things and made us proud every single day. They have worked so hard, tackled every challenge with determination and done it all with smiles on their faces.

This year we’ve visited Paris, expanded our Forest School, welcomed new families, grown as a school community and created memories that will stay with us for years to come.

To our wonderful parents - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for trusting us with your precious children. Your support means everything to us. 

Moorland truly is one big family, and we are so grateful for every single one of you.

Today has been one of the most wholesome, emotional days of the year. We’ve shed tears as we’ve said goodbye to our incredible Year 6 children, celebrated everything they’ve achieved, and listened to parents sharing memories filled with love and pride. We know each and every one of them is ready for their next adventure, taking with them the confidence, skills and values they’ve developed during their time at Moorland.

Whilst the school year may be over, we’re not quite finished yet… 👀 Keep your eyes peeled for highlights from our wonderful Year 6 Leavers’ Meal.

Here’s to an unforgettable 2025–2026… and to all the exciting opportunities that await in 2026–2027. 💙

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. 🌍🦋🐟

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!

Our wonderful 2-3’s had the best time exploring Blackpool Zoo, spotting all kinds of amazing animals and making lots of exciting discoveries along the way. From watching the playful penguins to saying hello to the majestic giraffes and curious monkeys, every corner brought a new adventure! 🦒 🦓

Trips like these are such a valuable part of children’s learning, helping to develop confidence, curiosity and an understanding of the world around them, all while creating special memories with their friends.

What another fantastic week we’ve had at Moorland! ☀️

From exciting adventures and creative experiences to cuddles with our furry friends, every day has been filled with smiles, laughter and learning.

This week we celebrated National Chocolate Day with some delicious (and wonderfully messy!) baking and sensory experiences, where our little chefs enjoyed exploring, mixing, tasting and creating🍫

Our Teddy Bears’ Picnic was as magical as ever, with plenty of special furry guests joining us for songs, stories, picnics and outdoor fun 🧸

Our children also headed off on some incredible adventures, exploring the zoo and following the dinosaur trail, discovering amazing animals, hunting for prehistoric creatures and making memories that will last a lifetime.

The sunshine certainly made another appearance this week too! Despite another scorcher, our team kept everyone cool with plenty of outdoor play, shaded adventures, water, hydration and opportunities to enjoy every moment safely.

Back at nursery, creativity has been flowing as always; from painting masterpieces and exploring our ever-evolving Atelier, to Forest School adventures, music and movement, animal encounters with our much-loved rabbits & countless moments of curiosity, imagination and joy.

As always, it’s impossible to capture everything in just one post, but here’s a little glimpse into another wonderful week across Moorland 💛

We hope you all have a lovely weekend and we can’t wait to do it all again next week! ✨

Our babies had the most wonderful Teddy Bear Day, spending the day with their favourite cuddly companions. From sharing stories and enjoying teddy themed sensory play to a special picnic in the sunshine, every moment was filled with smiles, curiosity and comfort.

These special experiences help to nurture early communication, imagination and secure relationships, all while creating precious memories for our youngest learners.

We think it’s safe to say our teddy bears had the best day at nursery too! 🐻✨🤎
