All our thoughts are with those affected by the tragic events of yesterday at All Saints Catholic High School: all the pupils, their families, staff, the wider community, emergency services and all those involved in education in Sheffield.
We kick started Children's Mental Health Awareness Week with a series of assemblies from Mrs Ramsey. With the theme of Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, it is important that we recognise our own strengths as well as those things that we find difficult. During the week, children will be taking part in various class based activities involving the characters from Inside Out to help know ourselves better. Our Healthy Minds Champions have also designed these great posters to remind us about the focus for the week.
Congratulations to this week's cross country heroes who represented Team EPS in the last race of the League season at Norfolk Park. An "undulating" course, with a nasty up hill drag in the last section of the race. Amazing performances from everyone and we are delighted to see so many Y3 & Y4 boys and girls participating. The future is certainly bright with a VERY low (low is good) score of 71 from the younger girls' team!
You are ALL winners and we are very proud of you all!

Each Y3 class visited Weston Park Museum this week to learn (even more) about the Ancient Egyptians. Being surrounded by real artefacts and having the chance to explore the subject in greater depth, finding out answers to their own questions really brought together their learning from the classroom so far. They also spent time setting up an experiment about preserving a tomato and thinking about the rights and wrongs of having artefacts from another country in a museum in Britain. Well done to all the children (and staff & parents) that have been this week.
