The last two weeks in nursery we have been continuing with our theme of traditional tales and have been reading the story ‘The Three Little Pigs.’

The Eco Schools team have had a busy week!   On Monday, they took part in the RSPB Big School Bird watch event where they took to the school field to record the different species of birds they observed. 

Even though there were lots of children in school in their pyjamas today, it was a far from sleepy school. 

This week we enjoyed a lovely reading cafe in Key Stage 1.

On Tuesday 30th January, Key Stage 2 pupils at Ecclesbourne were treated to an motivational talk by James Ketchell.

Assemblies are always a treat but this week has been an extra special treat.

At the Lower School this week,  we have been thinking about the power of imagination and how we use ‘imagining’ to help us with our learning.

We were treated to a very funny Viking themed assembly by 5LM Lipizzan Class today. 

The children in the early years are well and truly settled and the progress they are making is a joy to see. 

This week reception have been reading the story ‘Bog Baby’ by the author Jeanne Willis.

It’s a long day (and night) but I have to thank Mrs Ehiemua, Mrs Chang, Miss Williams and Mrs Fitz-Gerald (and parent helpers) for getting the Whitehorse Junior Choir to and from the O2 for Young Voices 2024. 

Kung Hei Fat Choy! Little Cypress has been a sea of red and gold this week as we continue to learn about and celebrate Chinese New Year.

We began the day at Cypress Lower today with a wonderful assembly from Blue Class.

The snow is melting, flowers are blooming, and the days are getting warmer.

Before Christmas, we set the children a challenge to photograph themselves reading a wintery tale in their winter clothes.
