Reminders
Walk, Cycle or Scoot to School
Walk, cycle or scoot to school next week as part of the Big Walk and Wheel. Leave your car behind for the week and children can collect points everyday to enter the school into a prize draw. We will also be running an inter-class competition for the week.
Scientist Volunteers for Science Week
Next week is Science Week. We have already had the scientists from the National Physical Laboratory visit and we would love to have more visitors with knowledge and experience of working in STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology and Maths) come in to talk to the children, either in class or in an assembly. Please contact the school via office@elp.rbksch.org
ELLINGHAM SCHOOL NEWS
WORLD BOOK DAY SPECIAL!
It was glorious to see the children dressed up in their amazing costumes and so committed to our celebration of traditional tales and nursery rhymes. Many of these stories have been passed down through the years and generation to generation and it was lovely to remind everyone of some classic tales. Each class focused on a traditional story and came up with ideas such as drama, illustrations, puppets and retelling with a twist.
We had two drama performances and the children loved being immersed in the wonderful world of books. They should have come home with a £1 book voucher - so visit your local bookstore or go on-line as some books can be bought with that one voucher.
We are dedicating this newsletter to World Book Day!
