This year’s British Science Week at EGPS was a resounding success, centred around the theme ‘Change and Adapt’. Our students engaged in a myriad of live lessons, scientific investigations, and activities designed to explore these important concepts. In Year 1, children participated in a live lesson focused on farming, followed by an exploration of the school grounds, assessing how hedgerows

Children placed numbers on a number line to 50. They had to estimate where they thought the number would go. We talked about one more and one less than a given number and counted up and down the number line.
We enjoyed designing and making our own London taxis. The children learnt about axels and how to fit them to the ‘chassis’ of their vehicles. They then tested their taxis; making sure that their wheels were secured properly.
We had lots of fun on World Book Day. We dressed up and enjoyed showing each other our different costumes. We had fun being authors too and wrote our very own stories. We also had a special assembly with early years and year 2. On Friday year 4 came over and shared their stories they had wrote with us. We
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
The children in year one and year four have been working very hard on writing their own stories based on the books we read for World Book Day. Year four read Tuesday by David Weisner whilst year one read I don’t like books. Never ever. The end. by Emma Perry. We got together to share our stories with one another.

We have been counting up and down a numberline to 20 this week. We hid numbers for our partner to work out with their ‘x-ray eyes’. We also went outside and placed numbers on a blank numberline by using our reasoning skills.
