1 Moulton Primary School Newsletter 8 - Friday 4 th November 2016 Campfires and marshmallows in Year 1 On a cold and chilly Wednesday morning, Year 1 ended their Enchanted Woodland learning journey with a real campfire experience. In groups the children wrapped up warm to watch the campfire being lit and learnt about fire safety first hand. We talked about how to stay safe around a campfire and why it is important to follow the rules when they are near an open fire. While we toasted marshmallows we could smell the fire burning and see the flames changing. The children loved tasting the melted marshmallows. Inside they also had the chance to sing songs around an imaginary campfire and discuss Bonfire Safety rules in preparation for the 5 th November. The children have used this fantastic opportunity to write a short narrative about their experience. Miss Roper Burps, Bottoms and Bile! Thank you to all of the parents and carers who came into school on Thursday to help Year 4 make their wearable digestive systems. We really enjoyed sharing our learning with you and it made such a difference to have you there to support us. We hope to share our T-shirts with some of the younger children in school next week. Mrs Muskin New Dictionaries for everyone! A huge thank you to FOMPS - and to parents - for providing new dictionaries for all classes to use as part of their everyday learning. The work that the FOMPS team do to raise funds for the children is so important to the school! The money raised is used to provide the things that the school struggles to fund, and which benefit all the children. This includes the everyday resources such as the dictionaries shown in the picture, to the larger projects which will include developing the new library and improving the playground! If you are able to support FOMPS with any of the fundraising events coming up, your help would be greatly appreciated. SCHOOL PHOTOS Thursday 10 th November If you have a pre-school sibling and wish to have a photo of your children together, please come to the school office at 8.30am. Your school child will also have an individual photo taken.

Christmas Fair Saturday 3rd December We are in the process of organising this year s Christmas Fair. What we really need now are volunteers! The event has been massively successful in previous years and we would like it to be as big and even better this year but we need your help!!
