To start Anti-Bullying Week, Year 5 took part in Odd Socks Day to celebrate the fact that we are all different. We then discussed what we could do to spread the message of ‘One Kind Word’ and how it feels when someone is kind to you.

Year 2 have been celebrating anti-bullying week this week. They started the week by wearing odd socks for odd socks day. Then they looked at the key message ‘One Kind Word’. Finally they made their anti-bullying pledges.
In Year 2 this week, they are exploring the big idea ‘Do colourful drinks have more sugar?’
They made a prediction of many sugar cubes each drink contains. Then they counted the amount of sugar in each drink.
Finally, they made their conclusions.
This week, Year 6 pupils were given a wide range of secondary sources within their science lesson. They worked as teams to classify and group the sources into 3 categories: tobacco, caffeine and alcohol. The children then worked hard to study the sources and evaluate how each of these areas could negatively impact the human body if not consumed sensibly. Each group then collated their findings onto an informative poster – well done Y6!
Tonight, our boys represented not only Christopher Pickering, but the city of Hull at the Humberside 7 aside county finals. Four teams from Hull (CP, Eastfield, Ings and Thanet) represented Hull, and four teams from the East Riding, North East Lincs and North West Lincs in a tournament to find the regions best U11 7 aside team.
Our group was very close. CP’s first game was against old rivals Eastfield and this game ended 0-0. The next two games from the rest of the group were also 0-0 draws. Our second game against Signhilsl was a strong performance with two goals coming in quick succession. A last minute concession saw the game finish 2-1 but out boys were confident. Our last group game was against St Nicks Beverley. This team had also had a 0-0 draw but only beaten Signhills 1-0. This meant our boys would win the group even with a draw. The game was incredibly tight, but our boys were moving the ball well, defending strongly but were struggling to finish their attacks. Sadly, a well worked goal in the last minute put St. Nicks ahead 1-0 and before we could regather, time ran out.
However, our boys came off to s surprise hot chocolate kindly bought for them by one of our parents – thank you so much for this kind gesture, it really helped lift the boys spirits after such a disappointing end to the night. Well done boys, you did yourselves, the school and Hull proud tonight and have learnt a lot to take into future games.
Disappointed but enjoying their post-game hot chocolate.
Tonight’s man of the match chosen by Mr Moy – Harley. He had a great attitude, made very few errors and worked hard throughout every game. (No award for this so he was presented his hot chocolate!!)
This week, in Science, Year 5 have observed whether heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects. We planned and conducted our experiment in groups. We dropped two beanbags that had different masses from the same height. We observed that both beanbags landed at the same time because they have the same amount of gravitational pull acting on them.
Tonight our Y34 boys represented the school in a futsal competition at Hull University. Two teams from CP entered the tournament, a team of Y3s and a team of Y4s. The boys come up against some tough competition but thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately, neither team made it out of the group stages but both teams came away with goals scored and at least one win. The highlight of the evening was a Y3vY4 Derby! Well done to the Y4 boys who were the winners of this very competitive game!
Y4 Boys (L-R): Max, Harry, Buddy, Max and Archie.
Y3 Boys (L-R): Billy, Cael, Cohen, Freddy and Parker.
This morning, Year 5 had a visit from a Planetarium. We were taken on a journey of the Solar System, visiting all the planets and the moon. We had an incredible time!
Tonight our boys played in the EFL Kids Kup qualifier at Hull University. The group games got off to a good start with a 3-0 win against St Nicholas Primary. The second game was a tough match against Neasden Primary. After taking the lead initially, the boys lost the game in the last seconds 2-1. A confident show in the next game saw them beat Marfleet 2-1. Their last game was vary tight, but the boys kept their composure to see off a strong Broadacre side 1-0.
Unfortunately, the boys finished second in their group by one point – the loss against Neasden costing them a spot in the final match. Despite the result, it was a good opportunity to test themselves against some trickier competition with the Humberside Finals looming next week.
Kacper (2nd from left) scored three fantastic headers from corners! Well done!
