We loved having Joe and Andy in school today for their presentation of The Ridiculous Rhyme Show. All the children were captivated and involved from EYFS to Y4 in their rendition of silly poems and rhymes, playing around with language and performing their work. The older children found out more about what goes in to producing a TV show and just how many people and jobs that are involved in even the shortest clips - high energy and VERY entertaining, thank you. #theridiculousrhymeshow

Do take a look at this month's EPS Update. This monthly e-newsletter is sent to parents/carers on a regular basis to give them a taster about what the children at our wonderful school get up to.

A great morning of netball with Y5 & Y6 girls competing at Graves Leisure Centre. In 4 very close games they won 2, drew 1 and lost 1. All the girls take part in the newly formed after school netabll club run by Qualitas. Their skills and game awareness are really coming along. Thanks very much to the parents who helped out at the event and provided transport too.

Y4 enjoyed a fantastic day at the Royal Armouries, Leeds. As well as having a good look around the museum itself (a gun disguised as an umbrella was a particularly favourite exhibit), they also had the opportunity to participate in two different workshops.
Having put on their face paint, the children were told the story of how the Romans tried to "Romanise" Boudicca and her tribe of Iceni which resulted in the Romans needing to use force to overcome this powerful group of "barbarians"! They also used replica artefacts to rehearse Roman army formations and practise their drill as part of their training as a legionary, ready for their place in the army.
Thank you very much to the parents/carers for their help with this visit.

Following on from our work around poetry today (#NationalPoetryDay ), we are really looking forward to working with Joe Chambers and Andrew Crawford from CBeebies next week as they deliver a Ridiculous Rhymes show and then talk to older children about working in a TV studio and how Rhyme Rocket is rehearsed, performed and recorded.
