What a hoot! We had two owls (and their keeper) come to visit us in Y2 today. After a little fly around the hall, investigating various spaces and a few visits to individual children, they sat beautifully still as the children set about drawing them in their sketch books!

An action packed day for Y1 who found our school hall transformed into Sheffield Castle from the time of King Henry III. There were lots of jobs that needed doing including milking a sheep (Dolly), weaving a fence, churning butter, making flour, cooking, carrying water and, of course, being the Court Jester!
In the afternoon the children swore an oath of allegiance to the King and learned the rules of how to behave around a dinner table. We don't want any reports of unused knives being stabbed into table tops though please!

What an "out of this world" start to the Y5 science topic all about Space. The Wonder Dome (a mobile planetarium) visited EPS along with "spacepert" Matt. Each class had the opportunity to enter the dome, listen carefully to everything that Matt had to say and then to ask their own questions - there is certainly a vast expanse of knowledge out there!
