We’ve done it - SATs 2026 completed! 🎉 We are incredibly proud of our amazing Year 6s who have worked their socks off all year & absolutely smashed this week. To celebrate all of their hard work, the children received their leavers hoodies & had a well deserved afternoon of fun!

In Art, Year 1 children have been exploring the work of artist Dennis Creffield. They have been experimenting with compressed charcoal, learning how to create tone, texture, and depth, and have designed their own pattern sheets inspired by his expressive style! Amazing! 🤩

So proud of our amazing dancers who performed today at the Wiltshire & Swindon Dance Show at the Wyvern Theatre! 🌟 Incredible energy, brilliant choreography by Georgia, and a fantastic representation of Moredon. Well done all!

Y6 experienced a hands-on cooking session linked to their learning about Ancient Islamic civilisation this term. The children worked together to prepare a delicious chickpea stew and falafel, exploring traditional ingredients and flavours while developing their cooking skills.

This week, our brilliant Year 6 scientists explored Newton’s theory of light and discovered how we see colours. They used colour filters to see how light can be changed and combined, helping them understand that white light is made up of many different colours. 🌈

R1CB have been feeling very inspired by their book The Hundred Decker Bus! The children have created some impressive observational drawings and used their joining skills from DT to construct a bus, bus stop and sign. Reception have also loved creating buses using clay.

As part of this term’s value, ‘connect’, Reception and Y1 invited their parents and grandparents to spend some time in their classrooms. The children have been reading 'The Hundred Decker Bus' and so they decided to make their own 3D buses! 🚎

Year 3/4 had great fun on their school trip to the STEAM museum. They had a workshop all about the evolution of the railways and enjoyed a fabulous show, "The Order of the North Star", by Prime Theatre. Pupils were even able to ‘buy’ some train tickets from a ticket office.

Nursery had a great time learning about police officers and the different roles within the police force. They got to look inside the boot of a police car and found out what they need to carry at all times.

As part of our learning about the Ancient Islamic Civilisation, Y6 explored the flavours of West Asia in DT. They made a delicious apricot & honey labneh. After tasting, pupils carefully identified different flavours & textures then rated it using their own evaluation criteria.

Y6 had a visit from PCSO Shelley today! The children learned all about the age of responsibility, how to be a good citizen, and ways to stay safe in the community & online. They also had important discussions about respecting others, online behaviour & standing up to bullying.

Yesterday, we visited church for our annual Christmas Carol Service 🎄✨ The singing was beautiful & the children’s behaviour was impeccable throughout. We are so proud of our pupils & the way they represented our school yesterday. A truly special moment - proud to be Moredon. ❤️

[6KC Miss Carter @Miss_KMCarter]

We were incredibly lucky to have a visit from STFC’s Harrison Minturn this afternoon! We heard all about his journey into professional football & our Sports Leaders asked him some fantastic questions. We can’t wait to watch Swindon v Crawley on Sat together at the County Ground!

Brilliant winter artwork from our Y6s.

[6KC Miss Carter @Miss_KMCarter]

❄️ Take a look at 6KC’s wonderful winter scenery artwork created using oil pastels, charcoal pencils and acrylic paint. ❄️ Doesn’t it look amazing?

Y6 stepped back in time & fully immersed themselves in life during WWII. They baked carrot cookies using ration-friendly ingredients & enjoyed traditional games like draughts & four square. From start to finish, everybody had the best day, learning & connecting with history.

[6KC Miss Carter @Miss_KMCarter]

Our last match of 2025 was played against St Mary’s and what a game it was… 5–1 to Moredon! Outstanding captaincy, amazing teamwork, and a level of determination that truly made us stand out on the pitch. Superb effort from everyone — we couldn’t be prouder of our team. ❤️⚽️
