All Year 2 children have recently taken part in a skipping project run by Sheffield Skipping School. They have learnt how to skip in 2 different ways on a 'big rope' while also learning 5 different ways to skip using an individual rope. Over the year, each Year 2 class is able to represent the school in an external festival and this time it was Tigers turn to represent Ecclesall. The children had a fantastic time winning a few different colour awards but most importantly all of the children had fun with lots of big smiles on show!
A very colourful (and messy) version of running today at Don Valley Bowl. Imgaine running around a circuit, with inflatable obstacles too, whilst having coloured powder thrown at you - turns out that the children loved it!!! Thanks to Points Network for their work in putting on the event.
Our Reception children have been learning all about 'minibeasts' and discovering fantastic facts about worms, bees, caterpillars, butterflies and spiders; including why worms are so important for our soil and how bees are wonderful pollinators.
Last week, the children in Reception enjoyed a very informative visit to the Tropical Butterfly House, handling and learning about even more minibeasts including a cockroach and an African Land Snail. Koalas, Polars and Pandas loved the beautiful butterflies, meerkats and porcupines and all the other animals they saw on the day. A big thank you to all the parent volunteers that supported the children on a very successful visit.
