Following our trip to Hull Fair last week, Miss Stainton’s class created detailed instructions on how to make a ‘fair inspired’ treat – chocolate apples!
We wrote up our instructions remembering to include lots of time adverbs and imperative verbs. We then voted for our favourite toppings as a class.
We had lots of fun making them but even more fun eating them! Yummy!
Miss Stainton’s class were presented with the task of planning a luxury holiday for a family of 4 to Mexico for one week and loved using their team work to plan their finances!
They had to choose which hotel to stay in, which food and drink package to purchase, what day trips to pay for, along with lots of other important holiday fun to organise!
Fantastic team work and maths skills were demonstrated by all, if only we could actually experience our holidays in reality!
Swiftly, the speedy, venomous snake bit Maria. “Help!” she fell on a clear spot with despair and her vision faded out. Where and when will she come back; or… will she?
“Gotcha!” yelled Xibalba. flawlessly celebrating for the forseable future as Manolo will get blamed for it. “What have you done?” blamed the town’s villlagers and soldiers, “I didn’t” paused Manolo, “I swear!” He blew his opportunity to marry Maria, and may never see her again…
As the sky sobbed, Maria was sent away from Manolo, “Why… JUST WHY!” Tears rolled down his cheeks and he kneeled down towards the spot he last saw Maria. Now he started raining with tears as depression started to arrive. “Do you miss Maria…?” questioned an unknown voice… “I do, a lot!” responded Manolo, in a squeaky voice, “But where is she?” Manolo knew in order to see her, he will need to be sacrifised , “Ohohoh…” whispered Xibalba, in alow pitched voice, “Take this!” In an instant, two vipers appeared and bit him! “Uhoh…Maria…” his voice lowered quickly and he fell to the floor, fading away…
As soon as he opened his eyes, he knew he was teleported to a mysterious place he never had been to, he looked around, realising he was a skeleton in the place he got bit, “Welcome!” shouted what looked like a fellow skeleton on a horse, “To the Land of the Remembered! Here there are no rules, just as long as you get remembered by someone! Hop On!” As he jumped on, the man took Manolo down to the jolly, festive place. He soon realised he needed to find Maria, who was apparently here, “One, question,” paused Manolo, “Is Maria Posata here?” he replied “Let’s search!” As the horse galloped around the Land of The Remembered, there was no sign or sight of Maria, “Oh no…” he thought, “She’s not here?!” Manolo felt like dying.

We were lucky enough to be chosen by ‘Estuary TV’ to appear in a special slot about Hull Fair which will be aired on Wednesday! 8 lucky children were selected to answer questions and chat about what they enjoy about the famous fair which comes to visit each year. It got us even more excited for our trip to the fair which happened later that afternoon!
Tune in – freeview channel 7 at 5:30pm, 7pm and 9pm on Wednesday11th October.
Miss Stainton’s class had a fantastic time visiting Hull Fair this afternoon! We are exploring how different countries around the world celebrate and enjoy carnivals and festivals within our ‘Tell the World’ topic, so what better way for us to experience our very own carnival by visiting Europe’s largest touring fair! We enjoyed spotting Hull Fair traditions such as Bob Carver’s famous pattie and chip stall, brandy snap, candy floss, coconuts, and all of the interactive stalls and attractions.
We had so much fun!
Miss Stainton’s class have worked hard analysing lyrics taken from songs included within ‘The Book of Life’ – a film used to inspire our narrative work. We analysed the literal and metaphorical connotations of the lyrics which helped us gain a better understanding of the main character’s emotions. Good work year 6!
Thank you so much to parents and family members who were able to visit year 5/6 this afternoon to spend time reading with their children.
The year 6s enjoyed showing parents ‘Reading Plus’ and year 5s enjoyed some quiet reading time in the pod. Keep up with the excellent reading, years 5 and 6!
Miss Stainton’s class have been busy using their maths skills in topic lessons so far this week. We have recorded the average temperatures and amount of rainfall from a variety of countries so that we can compare it to the weather in Mexico. The information has helped us to answer a wide range of questions – this is where our maths knowledge came in handy! We will then be using this information to plot line graphs.
We had a fantastic time celebrating the end of our ‘Rainforests’ topic with an exciting trip to Tropical World near Leeds. The children were SO excited to come face to face with many of the animals we have been learning about over the past few months! It was also a fantastic chance to experience the rainforest climate and really imagine what it would be like to walk through a tropical rainforest. The children couldn’t believe it when morpho butterflies flew past them – some even landed on them! We were also very excited to see snakes, piranhas, dart frogs, and much much more! A brilliant day was had by all!
We all had a fantastic time at our fundraising event in 3/4 on Thursday after school!
The children have spent lots of time learning about deforestation and felt passionately about hosting a fundraising event so that we could donate money to charities and also adopt an orangutan! There were lots of stalls around our pod and an art gallery in the hall showcased some fantastic rainforest artwork created by the children. Lots of people attended the event and had fun buying cakes and buns (created using fairtrade ingredients!), having their face painted, buying tombola tickets, and throwing wet sponges at some of the teachers!
Thank you so much to everyone who came and donated money which helped us raise a grand total of £325!!! Wow!
