News Ecclesbourne Primary School

A huge, huge thank you to all of our families for their amazing contributions to this year’s Harvest Festival collection.

Year 3 have been really enjoying learning about dinosaurs in reading, literacy and thematic. 

Today, as part of their religious education studies, the children in year 4 visited the Hindu temple (or Mandir) in Thornton Heath. 

Runners representing EPS put in an excellent performance in the recent inter school competition.

This half term, year 3 have undertaken a cross-curricular exploration of dinosaurs. 

The children in Year 4 went home with a brand new book today if they wanted one. 

Our school council have been busy this week supporting a parent to develop an app (FOBBS Figures of Black British Society) which focuses on significant Black Britons both present and historical. 

One of the advantages to being part of a Multi Academy Trust is that all staff are part of a much bigger team than they would be in a single ‘standalone’ school. 

We had a special visitor to Nursery and Reception last week. 

Today, Year 2 took part in a workshop all about the festival of Diwali!

As you are hopefully aware, the deadline for applying for a secondary school for your child to attend in September 2023 is fast approaching. 

This week in Nursery we have been learning about the story ‘Rainbow Fish’.

Last week, Year 3 were studying the fantastically evocative poem called ‘From a Railway Carriage’ by Robert Louis Stevenson. 

Many thanks to everyone who donated cakes, treats and money to our Macmillan Coffee morning today. 

Our Year 1 parents were invited in to school this morning to hear all about what they children will be learning this year and how they can help at home.
