Easton Year 4 Choir sing at Bristol Cathedral

Under the musical guidance of Mrs Miah, Mrs Graham and Mr Strong the Easton Year 4 Choir were invited to sing with two other schools in a special Easter performance at Bristol Cathedral yesterday.

After rehearsal, the professional choristers from the secondary school gave us an interesting and informative tour of the whole Cathedral.

Months of hard work really paid off for all, as you can see below:

World Book Day 2013

Thursday 7th March 2013 saw another fun, interesting and interactive book day at Easton Primary School.

The school's children and adults came to school dressed as their favourite book character (see pictures below). We had an amazing assembly where some of the teachers shared their favourite book, and after that we went back to our classrooms to watch 'The Biggest Book Show on Earth' streamed live over the internet, hosted by Tony Robinson and featuring top children's author Julia Donaldson.

Earth Hour - 23rd March

Here at Easton Primary School we care a lot about our world. So this year we are taking part in WWF's Earth Hour.

WWF’s Earth Hour is a unique annual phenomenon that focuses the world’s attention on our amazing planet, and how we need to protect it.

At 8.30pm on 23 March hundreds of millions of people will turn off their lights for one hour, on the same night, all across the world in a huge, symbolic show of support. It’s always a memorable and spectacular event with places from New York to New Delhi going dark for the hour.

All you have to do is turn off your lights for one hour at 8.30pm on Saturday 23rd March.
Check out the official video below for more information.

Uganda Link School Trip 2013 - Kinyara Sugar Works Primary School

During February half term Miss Payne and Miss Watkins visited Uganda to share teaching techniques and resources with our link school - Kinyara Sugar Works Primary in the Masindi region.

As we do every year, the Easton staff members worked closely with the children and teachers of Kinyara to improve learning across both schools.

Take a look at the pictures below. Can you spot any similarities or differences between Kinyara and Easton.

The whole school welcomed our ambassadors!

Year 1 Science Trip to @Bristol

The whole of Year 1 enjoyed a fun and interesting learning experience at the @Bristol Science Centre recently.

We learned about Sound and Light in the Planetarium, and had a great time discovering scientific facts and information in the rest of the interactive centre.

Using a magnifying glass to explore rocks.
The Planetarium is a pleasure to the senses of sight and hearing.
