A much-abbreviated newsletter today as lots of parents visited the school and have been able to see what the children have been up to this week.

This morning, the school was full to the brim with parents excited to see their children’s thematic work!

Today, the Tudor children of Ecclesbourne Court received a very special visit from King Henry VIII.

It has been a very busy day at Cypress Lower.  We started the day with children and staff arriving dressed as dragons, monsters, toys and Tudors. 

Museum Day was a huge success!  The children’s hard work and progress really stood out to the crowds of visiting family members. 

Our annual ‘Museum Day’ remains a highlight of the school calendar. 

Wow! what a sight for the eyes. Brigstock’s museum looked spectacular!

A couple of weeks ago, Olympic Bronze medallist Victoria Ohuruogu visited Ecclesbourne for an inspiring assembly and a fun-filled morning of athletics. 

Early this morning, before the crowds appeared, we took a walk around our Beulah Museum. 

We have all really enjoyed our class assemblies this half term and it’s so nice for the children to have the opportunity to share their work with parents and other children. 

Last week, the children at EPS had the chance to rock out when KS2 held a times table competition hosted by our times tables app, Times Tables Rock Stars.

Last Friday, Year 6 had an exciting day at the British Museum, where they had the opportunity to explore a range of fascinating exhibits.

Year 2 and Year 3 enjoyed a monstrous poetry workshop in school today. 

We have been reading the story the ‘The Three Little Pigs’ in nursery over the last couple of weeks.

At the Lower School, we are learning about empathy.  We began by learning that empathy is the ability to share someone else’s feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person’s situation.
