Recently the children in Year 4 were fortunate enough to visit the KCOM Centre in Hull to attend a learning event courtesy of the Hull Children’s University. We learned lots about the history of Hull before going into the city centre to interview members of the public to ask their opinions both about Hull and the City of Culture event. Later in the day we had a guided tour of our wonderful city to visit some of the iconic landmarks which celebrate some significant and infamous ambassadors of Hull:

Sir Leo Schultz – campaigned for air-raid shelters to be built in Hull during WWII
William Wilberforce – led the campaign to abolish slavery
Charles Henry Wilson – Hull shipowner and MP for Hull West
Philip Larkin – famous poet who adopted Hull as his home city

A great day was had by all, children and staff alike, and we would like to say a big THANK YOU to Julia and everyone else who helped to make the day so special. We not only learned so much about our fantastic city but also saw so much just by taking our time to look around which we so often miss when we are in such a rush.
