News from EBPS 16th May 2025
Dear Parents/ Carers,
May Fayre
We look forward to welcoming you to the May Faye after school today! Huge thanks again to our PTA volunteers who have spent many hours of their own time organising, sourcing, shopping and setting-up all of the stalls for today. We are very grateful and will reveal the total raised next week! They May Fayre opens at 3:45pm through the large gates beside the school office. All are welcome! Remember, small change is useful for most stalls with cards only accepted at the BBQ and ice-cream van.
New KS2 gym equipment
Our new KS2 gym equipment is now ready for us and the children have enjoyed using this on a rotational basis at breaktimes and lunchtimes this week. Special thanks to Lee Wilson of “Rhino Fencing” for finishing off the flooring surface and making this safe for the children to use. They are loving this new addition to our playground!
Celebration assemblies
This week’s celebration assemblies included children chosen for fantastic maths work, marvellous manners and helpfulness to others. A special mention to all of our Year Six children who have all been fabulous every day this week as they have completed their SATs tests and shows our school values in abundance.
Well done to our class reading winners: Sonny (Y2) and Primrose class.
In Key Stage Two, reading has taken a real dip lately so we are having a renewed focus on this. Please ensure you support your child by listening to them read five times each week and noting this in their planner. Reading really is the key to success in ALL areas and the more we can promote, model and encourage it, the more we help our children to succeed.
Attendance
Attendance this week was 95.06%. Our top three classes were: Snowdrop with 97.93%, Sycamore with 98.62% and Tulip with 99%.
Water bottles
A reminder that our school policy is that all children should have a named water bottle in school every day, this can be refilled from school taps and water fountains. This should only be WATER please (not squash) for every child. If your child will not drink water, please fill their water bottle with clear-coloured flavoured water only.
Only children with particular medical needs or on the advice of the school nursing team should have anything other than water in their water bottles. This is for consistency across the school and to protect children’s teeth from sugary drinks being sipped throughout the day.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend.
