Children in Year 4 at EPS have been learning to multiply using practical resources and by working together in pairs.

Last Monday and Tuesday, parents and carers with children in Year 1 and Reception were invited into school to watch how we teach their children phonics. 

This week in Year One we have been looking at the non-fiction text, ‘Chinese New Year: Festivals Around the World’.

A little while ago, I promised that I would write a half termly article focusing on mental health and wellbeing as this aspect of our everyday lives is so important to us all leading a happy and rewarding life. 

In Year 3, we have been studying the book ‘Jemmy Button’ by  Jennifer Uman and Valerio Vidali. 

Our YR1 classes would like to say a HUGE Thank you to Mrs Jenkins, who embarked us yesterday on a journey back in time… The children were so excited to learn about the old toys and to explore how they worked.

Yesterday our YR1 children were very excited to find out more about old toys.

  This week in reception, we had our own very special visitor called Professor Bubbleworks. 

This half term our focus author is Mick Inkpen.  He began his career as a graphic designer and worked on a cartoon strip for the Sunday Express newspaper. 

We have had a very Christmassy, musical week at Beulah! Our choir has been very busy.

Last week, the children all took part in their amazing Christmas performances and concerts. 

Recently, year 3 have been studying Aesop’s fables.  We have discussed the features of a fables and what makes them different from fairy tales as well as learning about what a moral is and how the fables convey these morals. 

Our KS1 classes delivered two wonderful performances of the production ‘Lights, Camel, Action’ last week to very packed and appreciative audiences.

We were very excited to have one of our parents come into school to read a familiar story to our children in her home language.

On Tuesday, we had another very successful parent coffee morning.  This time we invited Barbara Allen from our Mental Health Support Team (MHST) to come in and explain to our parents/carers what support they offer.
