We were taken to a Festival this morning - Parallel Lines - where the focus is celebrating all things Mathematical. With dreadful jokes, challenging quizzes, lots of dancing, singing and rapping and, of course, lots of "bling" the children showed what it is like to learn Maths at school - who knew it could be so much fun? Well done to everyone involved in the Stingrays assembly.

Anyone who went too see the recent production of A Christmas Carol at the Lyceum, performed by Northern Ballet may have spotted a familiar face. Jamie in Y5, and 9 other children from his dance school (Cox Dance Academy), were asked to take part in the show alongside the professional ballet dancers. You may also spot Naomi Cox, who provides our lunchtime dance clubs at EPS, in one of the photos along with her dancers.

Children in EYFS are going to have lots of fun exploring their patio area and the surrounding grounds today - better get out there quick before it all melts and turns to slush! Wrap up warm everyone!

Last week saw the finals of the Sheffield tag rugby competition. Having won the first round, there was a real step up in the standard of rugby on show and our team had to be at their very best to win their opening games. In the final v St. Wilfrid's the two sides could not be separated even after a considerable amount of extra time had been played. With the game ending in a 0-0 draw, it was decided to declare both teams joint winners. Well done to everyone involved.
