Deep Christian roots, Nurturing strong growth, Flourishing children

Welcome to Mrs Ethelston's C E Primary Academy

Mrs Ethelston's offers a high standard of education within a caring and Christian setting. It is important to us that our children leave us as well-rounded, reflective and confident individuals, who achieve their full potential. Children should enjoy school, feeling safe to take on new challenges and experience learning in a variety of ways.

Year 2 were very lucky to have Jingle Bells played on the violin by two members of the class for them yesterday. We were able to listen to it twice and really enjoyed singing along the second time.

Wrens' Mrs E's Freeze this half term was to raise money for charity.

We are incredibly proud of the many children who have represented our school at the Lyme Regis Parade, Uplyme Memorial and Axminster Memorial services over the past few days. We appreciate the time and thought put into this. Year 6 also shared a wonderful worship on Friday about Remembrance Day, as well as visiting the memorial in Uplyme yesterday for 11am. Thank you again for taking the time to support this incredibly important cause.

Years 5 and 6 had a fantastic visit from author Rachel Brooker this afternoon, who read a fantastic excerpt from her book, Will Worthington and the Black Rainbow. The children loved the opening and were keen to ask lots of questions about the writing process. The books are available from The Archway Bookshop and The Lyme Regis Bookshop if you should like to buy a copy!

Wrens class kicked off our #HelloYellow day on Friday with a fantastic worship, telling us all about mental health. Each class took part in different activities to raise awareness of such an important part of our lives. We also wore yellow, what a perfect colour for the occasion.

Years 5 and 6 had a wonderful day on Wednesday visiting Athelhampton House as part of their Elizabethan topic. They explored the stunning Tudor manor, learning all about Elizabethan life and were so lucky with the weather when investigating the gardens. Thank you so much to Athelhampton for having us and taking such good care of us, as well as the incredible parents who helped. The children were all given a surprise book written about the house! What a wonderful trip! P.S. The house are holding a Tudor week in half term if you are looking for something do to!

Here are a few images of the Robins harvesting the produce from the school garden, ready for our Harvest festival.

On Tuesday, Year 1 and 2 had a very enjoyable (and very soggy) trip to Paignton Zoo. They were able to see lots of exciting animals throughout the day and had a talk about how lions hunt in their local habitat. The children were given a task to see if they could find any critically endangered animals during their visit. A huge thank you to those parents that were able to help us on the trip and those that offered their help - this is very much appreciated!

Robins have been looking at bears this half term, and as part of their fine motor skills followed a video tutorial on how to draw a panda. What great work!

Oct 8, 2024

It's been a fantastic day for our year 6's, who have been making their pies following their Tudor topic day. They made their pastry from scratch, prepared their vegetables and waited oh so patiently as they cooked before sampling them. We were particularly impressed by the Tudor Rose decoration on one of them! They were all delicious!

We shared a wonderful Harvest Festival this morning in church, led by our Ethos committee who read beautifully. We even shared some new songs that we learned as a school! Thank you so much for all of your incredible Harvest donations. We will be donating all of these to the Lyme Regis Foodbank, and using the money raised to buy even more to support this cause. Thank you all!

We are incredibly grateful to the Rotary club for their generous donation of dictionaries to our year 6 class. These dictionaries become a huge asset to each child, who use it throughout the day across most of their lessons! Thank you again!

Little Green Change, a non-profit environmental education company based in Lyme Regis, carried out bulb planting on our school grounds this afternoon with children from our school. This is to increase the number of flowers each Spring, helping beneficial pollinators including early bumblebees, and adding additional colour to our school grounds. Leading the session was Clare Matheson, Founder and Director of Little Green Change. Little Green Change offer their environmental activities and learning programmes for FREE to state-funded schools, thanks to funding from local businesses and funding bodies. The bulb planting activity they are delivering at our school is part of their Biodiversity in Schools Project, and has been funded by The Nineveh Charitable Trust. For more information about Little Green Change and their work across UK schools and communities, please see their website: littlegreenchange.com The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and thank you so much Clare for helping us!
