School Play

Only a few days to go before our big Summer event 'Scheherazade'. This years event will be taking part on Tuesday 13th July at Easton Farm Park. The children have been practicing very hard and it promises to be another fantastic event from the children of Easton School.

Sports Week

The children of our school received a taster session last week in golf and yoga.
We had an instructor in from Ufford Park who was able to show every student how to hit a golf ball in the correct manner. We had many promising student's that could go on further with this sport.
Jo King, who has been running a yoga class this term at the school, came in and everyone got a chance to experience some yoga. Many of the student's said how relaxed they felt after leaving the session.

Bikeability

The children in class three have been involved in a 'Bikeability' course this past week. The course is a two day event and the children are taught everything from how to make sure their bike is safe to how they can be safe whilst on the road.
The children will get a certificate at the end of the course with a pass in level one or two.

Zoo visit

On Wednesday 30th June the whole school went on an enjoyable visit to Colchester Zoo. The children were able to walk around the zoo and learn about many interesting animals. Some of the student's had never been to a zoo before so this was a real experience for them.
While at the zoo each class had an education talk by a member of the zoo staff. Class one heard about mammals, class two learnt about why animals need to have camouflage and class three learnt about African animals.
At the end of the visit one student said it had been one of the best days ever.

Sports Evening

Our annual sports evening was a great success again this year. The overall winners were the England team with Argentina close behind. There were many events this year from the track 'egg and spoon' to 'standing long jump' in the field events.
The ESA put on a splendid BBQ and raffle which helped raise money towards the school.
