This Week at Morda- Head of School Message

It has been a marvellous start to our learning at Morda!

Bluebells Class: The new Reception children have settled in well. They certainly feel like part of the Morda family. It has been lovely to meet our new families at the beginning and end of the day. Please take time to have a chat with us on the gate.
Year 1s are looking very grown up and helping the new children. There has been lots of lovely outdoor learning in our outdoor area and children have begun to find out about the recent past before they were born and their family history.

Daffodils Class: The Daffodils Class are already well underway with their intrepid (drama) expedition to the South Pole with Ernest Shackleton. Ask them about their adventures so far! The year 2s have settled in brilliantly and love looking after the class stick insect!

Roses Class: In the Roses Class, our team of archaeologists have already discovered a Paleolithic cave painting on their archaeological investigation. Their writing describing their discovery is truly inspirational! Year 4s are well established and enjoying their learning and looking after Bubbles the fish!

Shamrocks Class: The pupils in Shamrocks are really setting the tone for fantastic behaviour and learning. They have been great role models around school. Shamrocks have begun their history topic about the fascinating Ancient Islamic Civilization.

After initial teething problems, we seem to be up and running with our new IT system. Our delicious school meals (brought in fresh from Whittington) are going well. Children are enjoying their dinners. Parent Pay is now up and running. If you have any issues please contact our lovely admin team: Laura, Amanda or Eva. It has been great to have Mr Rogers input. He is introducing Pozzy Notes and #HotChocFriday this week. I’m sure the children will tell you all about that! I’m delighted to be in my new role as Head of School and look forward to a fantastic year.

Mrs Helen Chapman (Head of School )
