Y4 enjoyed a fantastic day at the Royal Armouries, Leeds. As well as having a good look around the museum itself (a gun disguised as an umbrella was a particularly favourite exhibit), they also had the opportunity to participate in two different workshops.
Having put on their face paint, the children were told the story of how the Romans tried to "Romanise" Boudicca and her tribe of Iceni which resulted in the Romans needing to use force to overcome this powerful group of "barbarians"! They also used replica artefacts to rehearse Roman army formations and practise their drill as part of their training as a legionary, ready for their place in the army.
Thank you very much to the parents/carers for their help with this visit.

Following on from our work around poetry today ( ), we are really looking forward to working with Joe Chambers and Andrew Crawford from CBeebies next week as they deliver a Ridiculous Rhymes show and then talk to older children about working in a TV studio and how Rhyme Rocket is rehearsed, performed and recorded.

Y3 have enjoyed visiting Whirlow Farm over three days this week. They have had the opportunity to meet (and stroke) lots of different animals as well as hear about how the farm works and the various crops that are grown too. The children also explored Whinfell Quarry Gardens and scrubbed around looking for all sorts of natural treasures. Spending time outside and going on a big walk (to and fro from the farm), especially in some sunshine always makes for a good day out! Thanks to all the parent/grandparent volunteers who helped out with this trip.

We enjoyed a great day on Friday celebrating the European Day of Languages. Each year group chose a different language to study ranging from Greek and Polish to German and Spanish. The children also had the chance to dress up in "national dress".
Don't forget to enter postcards (with a drawing of a landmark and a few words or phrases in a new language) by next Friday for Mrs Hardy to "judge".
Thanks to Mrs Mason for all her work putting the event together,

The first schools' cross country race took place this weekend at Ecclesall Woods. With a huge turn out (up to about 800 children in total taking part in 4 different races), the 43 runners representing team EPS certainly did themselves proud. CONGRATULATIONS to ALL our runners - it certainly looks like it will be another strong season for Team EPS.
Thanks also to Mr Whydle for his help (and Mrs Palmer-Young for her work with the finishing tokens).

What a "roarsome" first week back we have had. It has been great to see all the children and families back to school and we are so proud of how the children have settled so quickly into their new routines.
We are also looking froward to welcoming Elimu (our own Lion Cub) back to EPS laster on this month. Over the holidays, all the"spare" tessellating lions that the children decorated have been put together by Mrs Chester to produce this amazing giant piece of art work, now on display in the hall - a real team effort!

As many of you may be aware, Mrs Biggs left us yesterday as she retires after 28 years at Ecclesall Junior School and then at the primary school (as well as years teaching elsewhere before she came to S11). That is a huge number of children that she will have taught, cared for and nurtured over the years. The staff held a lovely celebratory lunch for her and Mrs Hardy presented her gifts. The staff also sang a song to the tune of Dancing Queen (we are pleased to say that no video footage of the singing exists)!
We wish her all the very best for a long and exciting reiterment ###
