Engagement and enjoyment in Maths is one of our whole school focus areas this year and today we celebrated National Numeracy Day. Whenever there is a chance to dress up, our children and families (and staff too) really go for it as can be seen from these photos! "Maths all day" gives us the chance to really explore the number system, numbers and patterns and problem solving. With everything from Active Floor sessions to inventing a new systems of counting there was certainly plenty of engagement and enjoyment on show! Lots more about the activities that the children took part in will be shared in the next EPS Update later this month.
Congratulations to our KS2 swimmers who came 3rd in the Sheffield Schools’ Gala at Ponds Forge on Tuesday evening. An amazing result, especially given that we did not have any Y6 pupils due to their residential trip. Thanks to Miss Woolley and all the EPS staff who helped out at the event and the noisy parent & friends support!
We were very fortunate with the weather today and all the activities were able to take place as planned. Water sports, weaselling and a good hike (plus plenty of time for playing out, games and eating. Final activities tomorrow morning before heading back to school. Aiming for about 3.15pm - looking forward to seeing everyone.
