Reception had a lovely trip to Smithills Farm this week.
We experienced so many wonderful things! We met and fed lots of different animals. We went on a tractor and had a donkey ride, amongst lots of other things.
The children’s behaviour was exceptional. Huge thank you to all our parent helpers!

The Year 5 and 6 cricket teams did Old Moat incredibly proud when they represented the school in two local tournaments. Both teams finished in second place showing amazing resilience to overcome tricky parts of their games as well as being gracious in victory and defeat. Well done!

Year 5 had a great time at Stockport Air Raid Shelters. They learned about life as an evacuee and what life would have been like for those living in big cities with the risk of being bombed.

4PA visited Withington Baths where they worked as “historical detectives” to look for clues in order to learn about the baths and the history of the building. They also worked as engineers to design and build their own drainage system. 🕵️
