Year 5 camp 2012. The Forest of Dean.

Year 5 have returned from this year's camp in Parkend; The Forest of Dean equiped with lots of new skills - teamwork, survival, map reading, climbing, problem solving, shelter building, science and nature detecting to name a few.

A good time was had by all, even if a few of us fell into the river while kayaking!

Sat 26th May. The FA Women's Cup, Ashton Gate.

Children from Easton Primary School had the chance of a lifetime today!

The FA Women's cup final was played at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol this year, and we went along to cheer our favourite team along. There was a definite split in the ranks with most of the children supporting Chelsea Ladies and most of the adults cheering Birmingham City Ladies on.

It was a fantastic game with lots of exciting twists and turns, but Birmingham City Ladies came out on top, winning 3-2 on penalties.

Fri 25th May. Our own Olympic Torch relay.

To celebrate the Olympic Torch hitting Bristol, we made our own torches and performed a relay under glorious sunshine today in BSLC1.

The handover.

Wed 23rd May. Year 3/4, Benjamin Zephaniah literacy class.

Today, in Mr King's literacy lesson we were writing the middle of a story set in an imaginary world.

Mr King was very impressed by the standard of all the work. However, pushing it to the max with their superb sentences and powerful verbs were Jason, Rahdoine and Noor.

Well done! Let's see who will be here next time.

Superstar writers.

The Olympic Torch hits Bristol

Olympic fever is really hotting up in Bristol.

Mr Nutting got up extra early this morning to catch the Torch crossing the world famous Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Years 5 and 6 are growing vegetables.

Years 5 and 6 have been working with Grofun planting vegetables in our veg bed and potatoes in sacks. We are looking forward to creating a tasty meal using what we've grown at the end of next term.

Green Fingers!

This is what potatoes look like if you don't eat them soon enough!

Wed 16th May. Zoo Learning Experience.

Year 1 and BSLC had a trip on the wild side today to Bristol Zoo.

Sun 13th May. Sponsored Bike Ride.

On Sunday 13th May, under glorious blue skies and sunshine, seven members of staff and some of their family members cycled the Bristol to Bath cycle path and back again. A total of over 30 miles!

Between us we cycled a grand total of over 250 miles (that's the equivalent to cycling to Cornwall twice!)

The best bit is that we raised £415 for Easton Under Canvas. Well done team!

Team E.U.C at the halfway point. If you look closely you can see that Bristol is 15 1/2 miles away!

Pedal Power!

We even saw Thomas the Tank Engine!

A good day was had by all!
