Today, we have had the pleasure of having Joshua Siegal (an author/poet) visiting Whitehorse Manor Junior School.

We started our World Book Day celebrations with a fantastic visit from Joshua Seigal. 

Children from across the school were treated to an oral health and hygiene workshop today.

Today our lovely school was completely transformed into an exciting museum with interesting artefacts round every corner.

We saw a fantastic turn out for our Museum Day today. 

Wow Wow Wow! The Whitehorse Museum opened this morning and what a beautiful sight it was.

On Tuesday this week it was Safer Internet Day.  All the children joined an assembly by Mr Francis focusing on this year’s theme of ‘Want to Talk About It?’. 

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.

EPS’s boys’ football team put in a spirited performance to beat Elmwood 4-2. 

We are delighted that our gardening club is now up and running.

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

This week we have been thinking about thinking critically. We know that critical thinking requires you to use your ability to reason (one of our learning powers!).

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