Today in assembly, we celebrated everything British! We explored the values that make living in modern Britain so special, including celebrating our differences and showing respect to one another. Afterwards, we took part in a big quiz all about Britain; we spoke about religions, British Bands, Castles and The King! Did you know that around 100 million cups of tea are enjoyed in the UK every day? It was a wonderful time that left us all feeling proud to be British!

On the final day of term, our school community came together for a very special Easter service at St Eanswythe's Church. Over the past few weeks, the children have been busy preparing songs, poems, artwork and readings to help retell the Easter story. It was a truly collaborative celebration, with every class contributing something unique and meaningful. The service began with a joyful reflection on Palm Sunday, with Ducklings waving palm leaves and singing, setting the scene

This week, the children of St Eanswythe’s took part in our much-loved Easter Bonnet Parade, bringing a wonderful splash of colour and creativity to our local community. After some careful crafting at home, the children arrived at school proudly with their spectacular Easter bonnets. Each one was unique, decorated with bright spring flowers, chicks, eggs and ribbons, a real celebration of the season! We then set off on a special parade around The Bayle and the churchyard of St

This week, Year 6 have had lots of fun designing and making their very own playgrounds. They thought carefully about what they like about playgrounds they have visited and decided on a theme for their own. They had to include: something to hide in or under, something to climb, something that moves and of course it had to be fun and aesthetically pleasing! The children used their knowledge of building 'A frames' including the triangulation method to add strength to the struct

Last Thursday Year 3 went to the British Museum to take a better look at what life was like in Ancient Egyptian times. Even though it was very busy we did get to see everything in both rooms. It was extra special as we are currently reading The Ancient Egyptian Sleepover by Stephen Davies who has set this story in the actual museum itself and we were all guessing which parts of the room they slept in by recalling the story. There is also alot of reference to many of the artif

This term in Year 3, the children have been exploring mixed media in their art lessons and have produced some truly wonderful and imaginative pieces. They have been learning how artists can combine art and craft by bringing together painting and sewing, and how using different materials such as paint and thread allows us to take advantage of their unique qualities to build an image. The class have also discovered that skills can transfer across media, for example using mark m

This term in Year 6, the children have been exploring the theme of identity through their Art lessons, creating thoughtful and expressive layered self-portraits. We began by revisiting portraiture, where the class worked hard to develop their observational drawing skills and refine their pencil control. It has been wonderful to see how their confidence and attention to detail has grown, particularly as they compared their work to previous years and focused on creating lighter

Over the past couple of weeks, our Ducklings class have had a fantastic time taking part in their Balance Ability sessions! The children have approached each workshop with enthusiasm and growing confidence as they developed key skills such as balance, coordination, control and spatial awareness. Through fun and engaging activities, they have been learning how to move safely and steadily, improving their core strength and posture along the way. It has been wonderful to see the
