News Year 1

At Ecclesbourne, we love reading and we thought what better way to celebrate the upcoming World Book Day than by running an exciting reading competition!

​Preparations are well under way for Museum Day, which takes place across Pegasus schools next Friday (10th February) In the attached photo, you will see Comets class at EPS have begun painting their Roman shields.

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’.

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.

At Ecclesbourne we would like to say a massive thank you to Lidl who have been helping us with our breakfast provision. 

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

This term in Year 1 we have been covering the thematic topic ‘Toys’.

This term we will be learning all about toys. We were very lucky and had a special visitor in school today showing us lots of old and new toys.

A while back we posted the news story below about reading and our favourite places to read. 

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. 

Parents and carers of our Year 1 and 2 classes were treated to some exceptional Christmas singing on Tuesday this week.

The cold snap brought the opportunity for the children at Ecclesbourne to get outside and play in the snow.
