This week Y5/6 have been making visits into the City centre to visit significant sites linked with out topic: Hull’s fishing heritage. The aim of the trip was to pay tribute to the lives lost during the Triple Trawler Tragedy, and important event in the history of Hull and the school’s local community.
We started with the Big Lil mural on Midland Street – we’ll be learning about Big Lil’s impact soon!
Next, we visited the trawler memorial in Zebedee’s yard. The children laid a wreath in memory of the lives lost aboard the St Romans, Kingston Peridot and Ross Cleveland and observed a minutes silence.
Next we went to have a look at Hull’s last fishing trawler, the Arctic Corsair. It was amazing to see a real trawler up close!
Our next stop was Humber Street Gallery to see the real Dead Bod! We’ve been learning about this local legend and children have written short stories about it!
Our final stop was the ‘Knife Angel’, a towering sculpture made up of over 100,000 knives as part of the #NoMoreKnives campaign.
On a Monday lunch time in Miss Stathers’ classroom there is a mindful colouring club. The children can come along, listen to relaxing music and colour in a variety of mindful pictures. 
We love Mondays!
Our PE unit this term is Rugby and we are very fortunate to be working with Hull FC for this. The rugby coach has been teaching us techniques for holding the ball, carrying the ball and intercepting. We can’t wait for next Monday!

Year 3/4 have been learning about British artist Nick Rowland. Using his work as inspiration, they experimented with pastels and paint to create a piece of volcano artwork. First of all they created a night time scene using oil pastels. Then they used a splatter paint technique to create the lava of the volcano.
The results were amazing and our new display is breathtaking.
