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!

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.

Following instructions to build a marble run. 

Arranging trapeziums without touching colours.

Reagan solves it!

Using positional language to hook fish (this was VERY tricky)

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!

This week our parents and carers joined us for a ‘Come and Read’ session. We showed them our comprehension skills and they were amazed! Thank you parents and carers for your continued support.

In topic this week Year 2 have been painting self portraits. They really focused on their features and thought about which colours they needed to use. Do you like them?

On Wednesday we then wrote instructions for how to paint a self portrait.

In English Year 2 are looking at the text ‘The Singing Mermaid’. So far they have learned the story using signifiers and created story maps. They acted out the story on our stage in the theater! There was some fabulous acting!
