On Friday 6th February, Year 1 turned into a Victorian school. The teachers were very strict, and we had to sit at desks all facing the front. Our classrooms looked very different!
We completed lots of different activities such as: writing with chalk on slate, using ink and pens to write letter formations, rag picking, nature walks, drills for P.E, playing with Victorian toys and we even took a quick nap!
We spent a bit of time at the end of the day comparing our lives now to a Victorian child. It was a lot of fun being a Victorian child but we all agreed at the end that we would rather be an Eastwick child in 2026!

Wolves class went on an exciting trip to the Howard of Effingham on Thursday, visiting their school library. As part of the workshop, the children guessed different book characters, designed their own front covers of books, and even got a chance to explore what their library has to offer. The children absolutely loved their visit and conducted themselves brilliantly.
A huge thank you to Mrs Cornish, the Howard's library assistants and all of the parent helpers for supporting this trip.
Foxes class are eagerly awaiting their visit in a fortnight's time, too!

Year 3 have started their new Maths unit on measurement. Today, they experimented using rulers to measure different lengths of coloured card.
The children then had the challenge of measuring Mr Harber's beach towel. For this, it required team work, as they had to use a metre ruler for a longer length!

House Captains achieve Silver Badge Award!
Since completing their training and earning their Bronze Badges back in October, our 22 fantastic Year 6 House Captains have been hard at work towards their next goal. We are delighted to share that every single one of them has now achieved their Silver Badge—a brilliant achievement!
Each week, the House Captains give up one of their lunchtimes to run sports games for our younger children in the playground. They have also been leading warm‑ups in PE lessons and carrying out pupil surveys to gather ideas on how to improve our playground, what competitions or festivals pupils would enjoy, and which clubs they would like to see at Eastwick.
Their next challenge is the Gold Award, which will involve delivering a festival, reflecting on their leadership skills, and writing a report about a sports event—so watch this space!
It has been wonderful to see all the House Captains growing as young leaders, and we look forward to seeing their continued impact over the next two terms.
