Year 6 experienced a “battle in the trenches” before exploring diaries of WW1 soldiers in a recent English lesson.
The children had to think about the soldiers’ safety, threats, protection and living conditions before putting this into words as a diary entry of their own.

Year 3 put on their chef hats this afternoon in their Design and Technology lesson, to prepare seasonal fruit tarts! 🍎 🍐
First, they had to work as a team to cut, slice, chop and grate the apples and pears. Next, the children each had a chunk of puff pastry to roll out flat and cut into their designed shape. To finish off, they decorated their tarts with the pieces of fruit, then drizzled honey and sprinkled some brown sugar to make it extra sweet and delicious!
We hope you enjoy tasting your creations at home tonight, and we wonder if our parents and carers will get the chance to try a taste too!

Today, Year 3 explored a range of historical artefacts from when Eastwick School first opened as a Junior School in the 1950s.
We looked at the original uniform (blazers and hats), photographs from when the swimming pool was built, newspaper articles, and a range of log books from the original Eastwick staff!
Did you know the first Headteacher was called Mr Taylor, and there were only 2 classes when the school first began?

Some wonderful OPAL celebrations in the Juniors this week! Check out our new Golden Welly and Golden Brush winners, who have supported with keeping the equipment in order and have helped keep the school environment tidy by doing litter picking during their lunch time!
The children also enjoyed the new bug-hunt area this week, using small pots with magnifying glasses to get a closer look at some of the creatures that live in our woodland area. We learnt how to handle them carefully and released them at the end of lunch time, to ensure they were happy and back in their natural habitats!

A huge thank you to Caroline Owen, one of our parents, for her generous donation of netballs to the school. The children are already enjoying using them at break times to develop their netball skills, stay active and have fun with their friends.
We are very grateful for the kindness and support. 😊
