In Topic, children have been looking at traditional Mexican Folk art. This bright, highly decorative type or art is used to decorate houses. Children created their own image based on a traditional Sun and Moon composition. They also evaluated their work, discussing its links to the afterlife and religion.
This week Y5 and Y6 have each had a fun-filled afternoon of puzzle solving courtesy of the ‘Happy Puzzle Company’. Their interesting and inventive puzzles were thoroughly enjoyed by all children (and staff!)
Well done Y56.

Arranging trapeziums without touching colours.

Using positional language to hook fish (this was VERY tricky)
Last night our sporting year got underway with our children making a fantastic start!
The first competition of the Autumn term was the boy’s touch rugby league championships. The children chosen have been working hard in PE lessons and are all currently attending our after school rugby club.
The boys played really well and came up against some tough competition. Losing their semi-final game 1-0 meant the boys went on to win their play-off game and managed to finish an excellent 3rd!
We are very proud of the boys and were thrilled to see them go home with medals from their first competition. Well done!
Back L-R: Matthew S, Callum P, Alfie H & Kai D.
Front L-R: Alfie P, Ryan B, Ewan M, Daniel C, Luca A & Nico A.

This term children in Y6 are working with Coach Cal from Hull FC’s rugby foundation. They have already working very hard to improve their rugby and invasion game skills. Coming up next week is the Hull Active Schools Touch Rugby League championships and prospects for a team are looking very promising already!
Today, our house captains and members of our Sport Council attended Change 4 Life Young Leaders training. This will enable them to assist and lead our already established C4L lunchtime club and make it even better for the children of Christopher Pickering.
L-R: Harry M, Charlotte M, Ellie G, Maisey M, Martin J, Madison T, Oliver H & Nico A
This weekend we were very proud to see our ex-pupil, and sponsored player, Brad Fash awarded Hull FC’s ‘Young Player of the Year’ award. Brad has had a fantastic season, cementing himself into a first team spot and playing well in all of his games.
Well done Brad, we are looking forward to seeing what you can achieve next season.
Here at CP we love sport and love to celebrate our children’s sporting achievements both inside and outside of school. It was great to see that Ella Parker, Y5, has had a busy summer completing her marathon challenge and brought in her certificate and medal to show us – on the very first day!
Huge well done Ella, this must have been very hard indeed!
Keep a look out for Ella’s name in our inter-school Cross Country event on 20th October!
We are very proud to announce that Christopher Pickering Primary School has been awarded the Sainsbury’s School Games Gold Award for a fourth consecutive year – the first primary in the City to achieve this.
Thank you to everyone who has been involved in another year of fantastic primary sport. Special thanks to our School Games Organisers – Alex Sherwood and Mark Arridge.
To celebrate the end of a fantastic year, a staff and children’s rounders match was played on the last afternoon. It was the East Petal Misfits (plus FS and Y56 staff) versus the West Petal Piranhas (plus Y12 & Y34 children).
It was a fantastic afternoon of friendly competition with the Piranhas eventually winning by a tiny margin!
CPPS staff and pupils rounders match.
This week our summer sports clubs came to and end for this year. In the summer term, children across Years 3,4,5 and 6 have enjoyed: dodgeball, football, rugby, cricket, rounders and hockey. So what better way is there to finish a summer of fantastic sport than mixing sports with a water fight?
Year 56 had a great time attempting ‘Water Bomb Cricket’ ‘Splash Ball’ and other inventive and highly fun games!
Posted at a few photographs before Mrs. Sanford decided to pour a bucket of water over my head from the top floor – meaning the camera had to be kept safe inside!
Thank you for a fantastic sporting year children; bring on 2017-18!
