• STOP AND DROP SPACE FOR PARKING AT MOSTON FIELDS PRIMARY SCHOOL - FROM SEPTEMBER 2021

  Tue 22 Jun 2021

  Dear Parents and Carers,

  Please find a link below for a survey about the planned Stop and Drop space that we are hoping to open in September. We have been granted use of the land as long as we can make it safe (plans are in process for scraping and clearing some of the land) maintain it and operate it safely.

  This is a long overdue project that has four years of mithering and pestering behind it. We have also committed some budget to this to clear the land and to have the necessary public liability insurance and maintenance costs in place. It has taken a lot to get us here but now we need your help to make it happen.

  We need your help with the following:

  - regular volunteers to help us operate the stop and drop space
  - your ideas for how it can be used as safely as possible
  - your support with some fund raising (if we cannot get the gates and fence fixed from elsewhere)

  We currently have a small but committed group of parents (many of whom are staff at school also) who put away our child signs on Croft Hill Rd everyday. They are a brilliant support for us as a school but also do a brilliant job in keeping our families and children safe as they cross the road. However, it is the same few volunteers everyday and we need more - to spread the load and to keep the right to be safe as a priority for our children.

  So, if you think you could commit to offering some time to support this work, let us know.

  If you can't commit to helping us, please still complete the survey as we need this feedback to make things work. It will be coming via email and Class Dojo too!

  Many thanks,

• Place2Be Ambassador visit to launch the Schools Time Capsule Project

  Tue 22 Jun 2021 S. Murray

  We are excited to announce that on the 30th June, we will be welcoming Katie Thistleton and Rhys Stephenson (CBBC presenters) who are ambassadors for Place2Be. They will be visiting our school to see a Place2Be school project and also to launch the 2021 Schools Time Capsule project (in conjunction with BAFTA kids and Oak National Academy)

   

  5C have the exciting job of taking part in creating some memories of the past year to put into the time capsule ready to be opened in 25 years! I wonder what children will think of our thoughts and memories then! They will be creating some poems, drawings and a vlog to capture their experiences, as we did before in our Unlocking Lockdown project. 

   

  Look out for photos and further updates after their visit. 

• SHINE AWARD for Miss Ward and Moston Fields Primary School!

  Thu 03 Jun 2021 S. Murray

  Great news! 

   

  I am delighted to tell you that we have some wonderful news for our school. Miss Ward (our Reading Recovery Teacher and ECAR lead) has been successful in a bid for funding via the Shine Trust. 

  This means that Miss Ward will be developing a brand new intervention for Reception children and parents at our school over the next two years. This project will see school staff trained and then in the second year, other schools trained so that more children can access the power of a research-based intervention. 

  A huge well done to Miss Ward. This will really benefit our children and put our school on the map as a centre of excellence for reading! 

  If you want to learn more. Here are the publicity links:
