This week in Pathways, the children have been working incredibly hard to develop their handwriting skills, showing great focus and determination as they practised forming their letters neatly and correctly.

In maths, they have been exploring halves and quarters, using practical activities and discussion to deepen their understanding of how shapes and quantities can be divided into equal parts.

We are so proud of the effort, perseverance and positive attitudes shown by all the children. Keep up the fantastic work, Pathways! ✏️➗⭐

Year 2 stepped back in time this week to explore Southampton through the ages, with a particular focus on the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings.

During their visit to Tudor House, the children listened to fascinating historical stories and had the exciting opportunity to handle genuine artefacts from Saxon times, bringing history to life right before their eyes. They learned about what people wore in the past and even had the chance to dress up in period clothing themselves!

The visit provided a fantastic opportunity to make classroom learning real, helping the children develop a deeper understanding of the people and events that shaped Southampton's history.

What a brilliant day of hands-on learning and historical discovery! 🛡️⚔️🏛️

A group of our Year 6 pupils had the wonderful opportunity to attend a graduation ceremony at Southampton University this week, celebrating their successful participation in the Books & Stories and Shapes & Numbers intervention programmes.

Throughout the year, the children have worked incredibly hard to develop their reading and mathematical skills, showing determination, resilience and a positive attitude towards learning. It was fantastic to see their efforts recognised during such a special event.

We are extremely proud of all the pupils who took part and represented Mason Moor brilliantly. Well done, Year 6! 🎓📚➕👏

Year 5 have shown incredible determination and resilience during their recent test week, and we are so proud of the fantastic effort and impressive results they have achieved!

Alongside their assessments, pupils have been exploring the Caribbean in Geography, learning about the different countries, cultures and landscapes that make this region so unique.

World Cup fever has also arrived in the classroom! The children have been designing their own football kits and preparing to take part in an exciting in-school mini tournament.

A huge well done to Year 5 for balancing their hard work, enthusiasm and creativity so brilliantly. Keep it up! ⚽🌍👏

Don’t forget – our Non-School Uniform Day is coming up! 🎉

On Friday 12th June, children can come to school in their own clothes in support of our school fair tombola. In return, we kindly ask for a donation of items such as chocolate, sweets, candles, toiletries or other treat items. 🍫🕯️

All donations will go towards our school fair on Friday 26th June – we really appreciate your support in helping make it a fantastic event for our community! 🎪

Thank you as always for your continued support 💙

Year 4 have kicked off their writing with an engaging hook inspired by One Plastic Bag! 🌍

They have been exploring the impact of plastic waste and thinking creatively about how it can be transformed into something new and useful. This has sparked some brilliant discussions and thoughtful ideas about looking after our world.

We can’t wait to see how this inspiration develops into their writing – fantastic start, Year 4! ♻️✨

Year 6 have been getting creative and thoughtful in their learning this week! 🎨

In Art, they explored spray painting techniques, focusing on negative space and taking inspiration from artists like Banksy. The results were bold, expressive and full of meaning.

Alongside this, they have been diving into our Difference project, stepping into role and asking thoughtful questions as different characters. A fantastic way to deepen their understanding and empathy.

Brilliant work, Year 6! 👏

Pathways have had a fantastic start to the week, focusing on teamwork and building positive relationships with their peers. It has been great to see them supporting one another and working together so well. 🤝

They have also been getting creative, designing their own World Cup t-shirts and exploring art inspired by Kandinsky, where they created their own abstract paintings. 🎨

A brilliant mix of teamwork and creativity – well done, Pathways! ⭐

Year 2 have had an out-of-this-world time in their learning this week! 🚀

They have been exploring the solar system in both Science and Writing, using VR headsets to dive into space. It made learning exciting, engaging and brought their ideas to life – it really felt like we were travelling among the planets! 🌍🪐

Amazing curiosity and enthusiasm, Year 2! ⭐
