Year 6 leavers' assembly 2013.

Our Year 6 pupils put on an amazing show for us again this year. The children worked really, really hard to produce some really moving, funny and entertaining performances. Special thanks to all the teachers involved.

Year 6 camp - Georgeham, Devon.

Year 6 camp this year was based in Georgeham, Devon.
We tried lots of new and exciting activities that we otherwise wouldn't have tried;
We slept in huge bell tents, went surfing, had a BBQ, tried coasteering, told scary stories around the campfire, helped the National Trust with a beach clean, learned how to be safe with the RNLI and lots, lots more.

Everyone had a great time as you can see from the pictures below...

Year 4 Trip to the floating ballast seed garden and Arnolfini.

As part of our 'Eat a Metre' topic we took a trip to the floating ballast seed garden at Bristol Harbour and Arnolfini.
We learned all about the history of Bristol from an amazing storyteller on a boat journey along the harbour.

The garden is a project from Brazilian artist Maria Thereza Alves. Between 1680 and the early 1900's ships' ballast - earth, stones and gravel from trade boats from all over the world used to weigh down the vessel as it docked - was offloaded into the river at Bristol. The ballast contained the seeds of plants from wherever the ship had sailed

Boarding the 'Flower of Bristol'. 

Learning the history of Bristol.

We also got to look around the Arnolfini art gallery, get all creative and produce our own works of art in our groups.

Year 4 Camp - Longnor Primary School, Shropshire.

The wonderful teachers and children at Longnor Primary School in Shropshire welcomed us once again to their beautiful school.

We set up camp on their field for three days and used this as a base to explore the surrounding areas.

We visited historical Church Stretton, enjoyed Fish & Chips, investigated hedgerows, made new friends, witnessed a powerful bull, saw three day old calves on a working organic dairy farm and lots, lots more...

Martell found a Great Crested Newt.

Longnor and Easton joint assembly.

Here's what some of us thought about camp:

"On camp I learned that Daddy Long Legs live in tall grass." - A in Year 4

"The best thing about camp was when we had our playtime with Longnor and made new freinds." - B in Year 4

"I really liked when we had a map hunt." - M in Year 4

"The best thing about camp was learning about the bull on the farm." - T in Year 4

Year 4 visit a local Mosque for Religious Education.

Year 4 listened intently while a member of the Muslim Council of Bristol taught us about the Five Pillars of Islam as part of our R.E. learning. We were then treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the magnificent Mosque.

Spring Gardening in Key Stage 2

We've got a lot of green fingered children here at Easton Primary School.
As the weather is improving, children from lower Key Stage 2 have been planting and growing lots of different flowers and plants.
So far we've been looking after established rhubarb, strawberries and raspberries and planted sunflowers, rocket and lots more...

May Day Celebrations

We were blessed with glorious weather for this year's May Day Celebrations. The morning was spent learning and preparing for this important holiday. After the crowning of the incoming King and Queen, each class performed a piece to the rest of the school. There was amazing acting, powerful poems, sensational singing and from the staff; a magnificent May Pole dance.

Easton Primary Football Team

This year we've been lucky enough to have a school football team here at Easton. Some of the teachers have coached us, arranged our brand new kit, arranged games with other schools and arranged transport.

We've enjoyed working as a team, and so far the results have gone in our favour.

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.
