What more could we want than a glorious Friday afternoon outside for Skills Academy. We are all so incredibly lucky to have a school with such wonderful grounds and talented, enthusiastic teachers who offer us a variety of clubs (Year four).

With the hope of warmer weather this term, many of our Skills Academy Clubs are taking place outside. This week the Walking Club visited a local field whilst the Creative Club enjoyed drawing on the playground with chalk.
To celebrate all the hard work the children have done this term, we enjoyed taking part in an Easter egg hunt on the field. The children had to solve maths questions in order to crack a code. We were very impressed with how they applied what they have learnt this term to enable them to solve the questions. Well done
We were astounded by the effort and thought that had gone into the STEM fair. The children had. Great time looking at all the maths and science entries. Thank you to all those who took part. The children were very proud to show off their achievements.
Our new Skills Academy Club ‘Walking and Talking’ has proved very popular with the children. This week, we also incorporated a little tree climbing. It has been such a treat to spend time with this group in the open air and enjoy some very diverse conversation with them.
After a busy week of assessments, we took the children outside for an active maths lesson. Children collected as many items as they could from the middle of the playground and sorted them into colours. Each total was then multiplied by a given amount. Teamwork was key! We had a lot of fun whilst practising our multiplication facts.
We were very impressed with the efforts made for Crazy Hair Day. The children looked great! Thank you to everyone for your support towards an amazing cause.
In year four, we celebrated Science Week by designing a home for some ‘needy’ ice cubes. The ice cubes asked the children to help them slow down the melting process. We were very impressed with the children’s final products. They had some wonderful conversations with one another about which materials to use and showed great team work. We monitored the
At EGPS, we like to encourage the children to be as active as possible. On Friday, we took part in an FA run event ‘The Biggest Ever Girls Football Session.’ Girls from year one to year six enjoyed an hour of football on the field. We would like to say a big thank you to our past pupil, Lexie, who
Three of our Year Four children ran four miles during Skills Academy. That’s 16 laps of our field! We were very impressed with them. Needless to say, they were a little tired afterwards.
