Following their Science topic on mini beasts, Reception class had a fun-filled adventure at Farmer Ted’s! The children were thrilled to see real-life mini beasts in action, from hardworking ants and fascinating tarantulas to colourful locusts, beetles, snails, and even cockroaches! 🐜🕷️

They learned all about their micro habitats, the food they eat, and their unique characteristics. To make the day even more special, they met Shaun the Sheep, who shared an interactive story and loved hearing all about school life! 🐑📚

The fun didn’t stop there! The children enjoyed petting the other farm animals and playing in the fantastic play areas Farmer Ted's has to offer! What a wonderful day of learning and exploration! 🌟🐾

It's amazing to have these incredible places on our doorstep.

🌏✨ Welcoming Our Friends from Qingdao Jiaozhou!

It’s been such a pleasure hosting a small visit from our friends in Qingdao Jiaozhou, Beijing! 🇨🇳

Three pupils, along with their teachers, Mr. Fu and Madame Wong, have spent their first week at Moorland following our school timetable. Their second week will be spent exploring the sights of the UK (though we’re not sure Turf Moor made the itinerary 😉).

It’s been heartwarming to see familiar faces again and to witness wonderful new friendships forming between the Moorland children and their visitors.

A huge thank you to Nicola and Mr. Shaw for making these trips possible. Experiences like these truly make memories to last a lifetime! 💙
