News Ecclesbourne Primary School

Through our association with Magic Breakfast, this week we have been lucky enough to take delivery of another book from the Marcus Rashford book club. 

Did you know that almost all of the curriculum can be taught outside? 

This year, we have made sure we are fulfilling our commitment to the national curriculum by providing swimming lessons in Key Stage Two. 

Our friends at Thornton Heath Nursery School (THNS) are starting a new ‘Stay and Play’ after the half term holiday. 

The end of our amazing woodland adventure is finally here! Across our classes, the children ended on a high with trap making, camouflage games and survival bracelet making.

It has been a very busy full day here at Boughton Woods with year 6!

After a long drive and some coach delays, our Year 6 adventurers have settled into camp, unrolled their sleeping bags and got stuck in to woodland life!

Today, the school filled with Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses and a sea of red, white and blue. 

The Pegasus Academy Choir was back singing with “Young Voices” this year and was on top form on Monday 25th April. 

We hope you are all prepared for Year Six’s bushcraft adventure next week, especially as the weather forecast is looking hopeful!

Thank you to all the parents, carers and children who joined us for the last meeting about this month’s residential trip for Year 6.

Tickets please… next stop Sun Class. This week in Little Ecclesbourne we began our new transport topic, focusing this week on buses.

As part of their Literacy work around the text ‘Wolf Brother’ by Michelle Paver, Year 6 were visited by two cave people, Twig and Ochre, who camped on the field at Whitehorse Manor Junior School for 3 nights. 

EPS pupils continue to work each week in the local allotments with volunteers from the Pamper, Indulge and Give charity. 

Both Year 3 Ecclesbourne classes braved the elements last term to learn new outdoor skills.
