With the temperature dropping this week, we enjoyed some indoor activities at the MKM stadium. Working to beat our time each week in clap catch, jump overs and skips in a minute we use the timer and the challenge bags to improve on our previous score. DJ, George and Daryl were feeling very creative this week, creating fantastic, eye catching comic strips of their favourite characters. The boys showed great determination and concentrated on their wonderful work for such a long time!

 

On Wednesday, we travelled to Cineworld to participate in the Into Film Festival 2024. We watched a lovely animation called Wild Robot alongside several other schools. The story is based on the book of the same name and we took a real shine to the animal characters within this lovely tale.

On Friday we made Bird feeders for our Outdoor classroom, to feed the wildlife during this cold time when we would rather be indoors!

On Monday afternoon at the MKM stadium, we worked as a team to complete group challenges. We enjoyed being hands on and our balancing skills were amazing when we were playing giant Jenga! We kept it going until it was taller than us!

On Tuesday, ahead of WORLD KINDNESS DAY tomorrow, Dj demonstrated his thoughtfulness and kindness towards his class mates. He used his spare lego figures at home to customise a Spiderman for George and a joker character for Daryl. The boys were delighted and extremely grateful!

As part of the Into Film festival, we

 

On Thursday we enjoyed a PE lesson with Will from the tigers trust. This week Will was joined by members of the FA and they told us that they were really impressed with the SEN friendly provision that the Tiger Trust deliver for our lucky HUB students.

Our LEGO king, Harvey, enjoyed building on a much larger scale this week as the boys worked together to create a den.

We decorated our own odd socks this week as part of our PSHE lessons. We talked about kindness, differences and what it takes to be a good friend to all people.

 

 

Monday

We ventured to the MKM stadium, home of Hull City Football team and Hull FC rugby team, to take part in our first ‘Run with It’ project session! We were lucky enough to have our very own stadium tour as we took part in some hands on Maths and fact finding! They also let us into some stadium secrets, such as in the Away teams changing room, the shower is designed to flood, in winter they turn off the heat but in the summer they turn it up! Sneaky!

 

Tuesday

Along with several other local schools, we went to Costello Stadium to take part in the amazing Panathlon Challenge! We worked as a team to score points and showed great sports-personship by cheering each other on! We took part in a wide range of fun activities and had a wonderful morning, supported by Year 9 Sirius Sports Leaders and the Hull Active Schools team. The icing on the cake was that after all of that fun, when the results were announced, we were the winners! We proudly accepted a gold medal each as well as a beautiful trophy and certificate to proudly display at school.

Ganton Fair Trade Breakfast

This week’s gold book student is XXX for a renewed and fantastic attitude towards his learning, well done!

As Scientists, we have been learning about a Balanced diet, this week we examined and compared the diets of a wide range of animals. We then picked a couple of more unusual animals and used the internet to research what their diet consisted of. We learned that some animals, like the mighty Lion, only eat other animals so are carnivores, some such as giraffes, eat plants so are herbivores and others such as birds are omnivores as they eat both plants and other animals! What diet does your pet have?

 

As Historians, we used pictoral sources of evidence to explore the growth of the railway. We had a really good discussion about how this made Britain better and helped us to travel, trade and grow.

For this week’s Community Visit, we went to the Milk Well in Willerby. We watched the farmer feeding the calves, played in the toy tractor and had a go at milking a model cow. But the best part by far, was that we got to make and enjoy our very own milkshakes. We even took an extra one home for our families to enjoy! We worked up an appetite by playing our favourite games in the park opposite, enjoying socialising with out classmates.

 

Even Spiderman enjoyed a strawberry milkshake!

 

Congratulations to  Dylan  for being this week’s Gold Book Student! The kindness which he shows towards his fellow peers is outstanding, he is a wonderful role model with a studious attitude towards learning. Another Christopher Pickering Super Star!

On our community visit this week, we ventured to Bridgehead Walk to explore the lovely art in the woods.

In PE we continued to develop our ball skills in Basketball. We were then joined by the Tigers Trust team to enjoy team work games.

Congratulations Daryl for being our Gold Book Super Star this week for your fantastic Maths work!

It was the second groups turn to cook this afternoon. We enjoyed working with our visitor Miss Blackie, to de-skin, peel and chop the tomatoes to make a lovely fresh salsa!

We travelled to the High Street in Hull’s old town to visit the Streetlife Museum. We have been learning about the history of locomotives and were able to talk about the ways that people travelled and transported things in the past.

Thursday

We enjoyed the sunshine outside to develop our basketball dribbling and passing skills today. Then we had fun, playing sporting games with Will from the Tigers Trust!

 

Friday

Some pupils chose these superhero masks from the reward box, which led to lots of fun, creative play! What would your super-power be? We are working hard in our lessons and following the schools golden rules to earn dojos. Once we have earned 20, we can redeem them for a prize 🙂 We thought the quiff really suited Tyler!

We enjoyed cooking outside today as the sun shone down on us. We learned how to skin tomatoes by preparing them in hot water before we chopped them to make a delicious salsa bruschetta recipe.

We were lucky to spot and be able to chat to the West Yorkshire Fire and rescue service who were carrying out training to prepare for flooding.

Our Gold Book super star this week is Lucy. She earned this certificate as she worked hard to publish her story, ‘Lemon baby’ in Word on a Chromebook and edited it to improve. 🙂

Monday

As Scientists, we were exploring the benefits of eating a balanced diet as we learned about nutrition and the five food groups.

Tuesday

During our English lessons we were looking at ‘The power of Three’, a feature that authors use to help exaggerate a point and we explored how it was used in our story ‘Avocado Baby’. We then had a go at writing our own fantastic sentences!

 

Wednesday

We travelled across the Humber Bridge into Lincolnshire to visit Waters Edge Country Park where we explored UK wildlife and habitats. We loved watching the swans and spotted many beautiful dragonflies during our a walk through the grounds in the glorious sunshine.

Thursday

Today we made an important decision, as we exercised our right to democracy by voting for our School House captains! Good luck to all of the Y6 candidates… we look forward to finding out the results.

Friday

As Harvest approaches, we learned about what goes into making a loaf of bread. We considered the sources of the ingredients and the manufacturing process. We reflected on food waste as part of our learning about sustainability for the future.

Monday

As Geographers, we were learning about urban and rural areas today as we begin to think about the UK and how land is used for food and homes.

Tuesday

In our tuneful Music lesson this afternoon, we had our first recorder lesson! We were very excited and have decided that we would like to learn how to play a song so that we can do a mini concert for our families.

Wednesday

During this week’s community visit, we braved the elements and went to East Hull Community Farm. Although the hail stones fell on the minibus during the journey there, we were lucky enough to have bright sunshine when we arrived, making the afternoon ever more enjoyable.

Thursday

For PE this term, we are learning the skills needed to play Rugby. We enjoyed a lesson on the field, working with partners to develop a throw across our bodies when the weather took a rapid change and we found ourselves in dancing in the hail! After we dried off a little, we headed inside to play dodgeball with staff from the Tigers Trust.

 

Friday

Congratulations to Dylan for being our Gold Book Certificate recipient this week. We love your determination and fantastic attitude towards learning and that you demonstrate this is every single lesson! A great start to the year!
