This half term Year 2 have been learning about materials in Science.
In yellow class, it has been an exciting adventure this week with our learning as we used our writing, creativity, maths, and imagination skills in some delightful activities.
In Reception this week, we read the book, ‘Peepo’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.
For the past two weeks, Nursery has covered the traditional tale; ‘Goldilocks and The Three Bears’.
What a week! The final week of the half term and the children just shine brighter and brighter.
This term, Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed their art learning. We revisited colour mixing using watercolours and thought about what colours would be used to create a fiery picture.
It was lovely to see some Year One parents in school this morning sharing a book with the children.
On Wednesday, over 60 children from across the school gathered in the hall for our first ever collectors’ swap meet.
Year 3 had the opportunity to visit and sign up for their very own library card for South Norwood library!
This term in Reception, we had an exciting visit from a scientist named Professor Bubbleworks!
The Cypress Museum opened its doors today for one day only.
Today, Year 6 celebrated their incredible journey through Ancient Egypt! Since the start of the year, they have explored what life was like for the ancient Egyptians, designed intricate death masks, mummified tomatoes, created desert mirages, written persuasive letters to the British Museum and even engineered model shadufs.
Marvellous Museum Day! What an incredible display of talent we had on show today for our Museum Day!
Today, a cold, rainy morning was soon forgotten as Ecclesbourne opened its doors to the annual Museum Day exhibition, delighting the visiting crowds with a treasure trove of wonders created by our very own pupils.
A much-abbreviated newsletter today as lots of parents visited the school and have been able to see what the children have been up to this week.
