Our class read Refugees by Brian Bilston today. The children were furious at first, but then very inspired when we read it from the bottom! nationalpoetryday.co.uk/poem/refugees/ @NewEarswickPS

This week in history we have been looking at why the Romans had a big advantage over the Iceni. Our battle reenactment was lots of fun! ⁦@NewEarswickPS⁩

Year 4 cutting crew assemble! We have been researching, designing, and now, making our marble mazes! We can't wait to see the finished results! @NewEarswickPS

Our Roman style marble mazes are coming along nicely. We have been smart by using Colours that the Romans were fond of. ⁦@NewEarswickPS⁩

We have worked smartly today by identifying animal skulls by their diet and types of teeth. ⁦@NewEarswickPS⁩

What a busy day it has been in Y4! After researching, designing and experimenting, the first group have finally begun their Iceni war masks. And let us tell you, clay is a tricky beast at times! But not for these artists…🎭

Another day & another group applying their skills and designs to their clay masks. The attention to detail is so impressive…🎭

Step through the wardrobe door into the land of Narnia. ⁦@NewEarswickPS⁩ ⁦New Earswick Deputy⁩

What a morning! What a party! 🥳Thank you to our families for their kind donations towards party snacks & more! What had a great time! 🌲🎅🏼

In Year 4, we know that if we try, we will triumph! We have been inspired by our class book (Shackleton’s Journey by William Grill) to create some beautiful art work. @NewEarswickPS

There are wizards about today in Year 4! @NewEarswickPS

This half-term we have been learning about Hinduism. We created a shrine that looks similar to the type that many Hindus have in their home and looked at how it is used to worship. ⁦@NewEarswickPS⁩

Jaw droppingly quick times tabling from one of our Year 4 pupils this morning! Apparently, this is 10 short of her personal best! ⁦@NewEarswickPS⁩

Come join us next week for our HALF PRICE book fair!📚 Grab yourself a bargain from Wed 24th at 3:30pm- 4pm.

I have been BLOWN away by Year 4/5 of New Earswick Primary this last two days: focused, ready to learn & resilient. So it was only right we earned a reward & enjoyed the sunshine this afternoon! We LOVED the parachute! ☀️🤩

What a morning! Fantastic effort from Year 4/5 of New Earswick Primary and Year3@NEP for their sports day. Everything from potato races to space hoppers to photo finish sprints! We’re so proud! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏼

Huge congratulations to Red Team who were crowned Y3/4 winners! 🥇

It’s been a busy ol’ week for Y4: sports day & a trip to Ampleforth with Y5. We had a fantastic day yesterday with creative activities aplenty! Clay creatures, tower building, observational drawing and more. Take a look…🌱🐦‍⬛🪴✏️

More photos of our fantastic day at Ampleforth with Y5 yesterday! Who knew you could make a seed pot from newspaper & a dragonfly from a peg? 🪴✏️📰

Pegs, seeds & Mr Cutler’s clay creature! Oh my! 🤣
