No fewer than NINE huge bags of pasta (and 5 boxes of sauces) were delivered to the Roundabout Hostel this afternoon. Staff were really grateful and appreciative of the generosity shown by the EPS community, so, on behalf of Roundabout - THANK YOU for your donations towards our Harvest Appeal Pasta Pyramid.

Y5 have worked really hard on creating their own CAM toys (which they will demonstrate to Y3 children next week). They had to come up with a design idea or scene for their toy and then include a mechanism that turns a rotational movement into a vertical movement - we have wings on a fluffy bird, an aeroplane hovering in the sky, a monster with googly eyes and many more amazing imaginative ideas - well done Y5.

Y4 took a step back in time today and celebrated their learning of all things Roman. The day started with a wonderful class assembly from Eagles Class, taking us back to Pompeii at the time of the erruption of Mount Vesuvius. Later on, there was a chance to rehearse Roman battle formations, all following the barked instructions from Centurions (speaking in Latin of course). A wonderful day of learning!

Following on from National Poetry Day last weeek and our visit from Conrad Burdekin, Y3 Hedgehogs sent him a copy of their poems - Magic Jars. He took his favourite lines (and added just one of his own) and created a brand new poem - you never know, it may well end up in one of his books one day. Thank you so much to Conrad and well done Hedgehogs!
