Buddy Lunch to the Beach
Today, year 2 and year 4 headed down to the beach, where they enjoyed chips from the fish and chip shop for lunch and had time to play in the glorious sunshine.
Reading Buddies at Glendale
During this term, more children have been chosen to go to Glendale to read and chat with our Reading Buddies. Both children and adults enjoy the experience. Not all children have the chance to interact with such a different generation, so this is a great opportunity to mix and learn from each other. We are grateful for all the time the Buddies give up to be with us.
Mini Movers Club
Lots of fun has been had this term in James' Mini Movers - with two older children assistants. They have spent some time working on interacting with props to enhance their movements. The children have used a clear plastic ball to represent a floating bubble.
Joe Wicks
We joined hundreds of other schools in a high-energy workout to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week. We discovered how moving our bodies can boost our mood, build resilience and support our mental wellbeing. Both staff and children enjoyed fifteen minutes of exercises in the hall - what a great end to our school day!
Sacconi Quartet
What a special treat we had today! The incredible Sacconi Quartet delivered a phenomenal performance and workshop with us in the school hall and what an amazing privilege it was. We were so lucky to experience such a special performance from this world famous classical music string quartet. We learnt that the Sacconi Quartet was founded in 2001 by four graduates of the Royal College of Music, Ben, Hannah, Robin and Cara. We also learnt some Italian words about the way the mus
Mini Moguls - You're Hired!
The Businessman Lord Sugar once said "Success comes from hard work and determination" and that is exactly what we, in Year 2, have been learning about this term in PSHE! Mrs Semple set us a task of inventing and designing our own toy based product to pitch and sell to our class mates and some guest judges and wow - did we take this task seriously! We thought about names, prices, target age brackets and practised how we would create our business pitch! Those who were brave eno
Science Workshop
The children have been very fortunate to be visited by one of our wonderful parents, Lori Fischer, who is a biologist. She came in to speak to all of the children about bioplastics and even demonstrated how they can be produced from a natural substance... Starch, which can be extracted from potatoes or corn! She then allowed the children to have a go at making their own bioplastics by using corn starch. All the children were fascinated by the process! Thank you so much for vo
Easter Service 2026
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
St Eanswythe's Easter Bonnet Parade 2026
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
Glendale Reading
This term, we have continued to visit Glendale to read to some of the residents. Our reading buddies kindly give up some of their free time to listen to our children read. The reading activities are enjoyed by everyone.
