Ecclesall Primary School

Some very ferocious characters in school today as Y4 held their Roman themed day. An opportunity to dress up as well as to get creative with their learning. Beautifully designed mosaics, pinch pots, battle formations in the playground (with commands in Latin) and a Roman Numeral treasure hunt. What a great, fun and memorable day of learning!

Thank you very much to everyone who donated to our Harvest Appeal for Baby Basics. Mr Moffatt and Mr Willatt delivered a huge number of boxes (we may need a bigger car next time) filled with items that were very gratefully received by the Baby Basics Team at Albion House. We believe that giving (to charities) help to re-enforce our school values of Kindness, Positivity and Respect as a result of the conversations that were had when bringing in the items and around school in general.
Thanks again.

As part of their topic on The Gruffalo, our Year 1 children were thrilled to welcome a very special (and very furry!) guest to the classroom. After studying the story, describing the characters, and reading along together, meeting the Gruffalo in person was the ultimate highlight. From terrible claws to a purple-prickled back, they loved checking out all their famous features up close. Safe to say, the deep dark wood has never been so much fun!

This day in history, 100 years ago (14/10/1926) the first collection of stories featuring a bear called Winnie-the-Pooh was published. Written by A A Milne and illustrated by E H Shepard, the many stories tell tales of adventure (and misadventure), childhood and growing up, navigating the world and challenges around us, acceptance and above all friendship and loyalty. Maybe it is a good time to revisit The Hundred Acre Wood and enjoy these timeless stories.

Thank you so much to everyone who made a donation to our Harvest Appeal for Baby Basics - we have made a great start. The collection boxes will be under the shelter in the main playground each morning this week.
