At Fun and Games Club, the children had a fantastic time making boats using coloured A4 paper. They carefully designed and decorated their boats before putting them to the test in exciting races across the tables! The children competed to see whose boat could travel the fastest by blowing them across the table. There was lots of laughter, teamwork, and creativity throughout the activity, and everyone had so much fun taking part.

A big shout out to one of our Year 1 children who, before coming to school this morning, chose to spend part of her birthday picking up litter in her community. How amazing is that? 🌍💚 🌍💚

This week, we looked at water density and managed to 'layer' the colours of water using different amounts of salt in each colour of water. Last week, we looked at surface tension by dropping water droplets onto different sized coins to see how many we could reach before they spilled.

Issue 15 - Summer 2026 Proud to be ELSTON! Empowered, Listeners, Successful, Together, Open-Minded, Nurturing Dear families, I hope you enjoyed the bank holiday weekend.

On Friday 8th May, we celebrated the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. During the day, the children learnt about this inspirational man through a range of engaging activities. We used the occasion to focus on our writing skills, with children across the school writing in a variety of genres linked to the work and achievements of this amazing man. Have a look to see what we have been up to! Reception Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 wrote a non-chronological report about conserv

Year 3 kicked off their new topic with an exciting Egyptian Day! We have been focusing on hieroglyphics, exploring the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian writing, and even creating our own symbols. As part of the day, we went on a scavenger hunt, searching for answers to questions all about Egypt. It was a fun way to learn and explore the mysteries of this incredible civilization! A big thank you to Amber, who kindly brought in some Egyptian artefacts from home to share wi

Year 4 were thrilled to welcome Rainforest Dave to school to kick off their new thematic learning project, Under the Canopy. From the very start, he had the children captivated – and would you believe he’s visited a rainforest over 60 times! During the day, the children had the incredible opportunity to meet and even hold a Madagascan millipede and a tarantula. What an unforgettable experience for everyone!

8 children from Year 5&6 competed in a swimming gala held at The Royal School in Wolverhampton. The children competed in individual and relay races against 10 other teams. Overall, the boys team finished 5th and the girls team finished 3rd demonstrating excellent teamwork and determination. A special well done to Evie who won gold in the 50m freestyle and our girls team (Evie, Penny, Ella & Zara) who won silver for their relay. A great effort from all of our team!

Our wonderful children explain in this video why attending Elston Hall is special to them.

The children discussed what would happen if we put hot water onto a plate of skittles and they thought that the sugar coating would dissolve, leaving the trail of colour. We went outside to understand why the skittles would make a rainbow path and the children learnt that it was because the sugar wanted to diffuse to an area with less sugar, which meant that it would travel in a straight path towards the middle of the plate. We went back inside and designed how the skittles w
