Team Work Makes the Dream Work!

When we had to combine phonic groups this morning, it was so lovely to see peer to peer coaching in our class. The comments between the children were lovely and we were really proud of their kind and grown up approach to helping others!

National Day of Spain

Today we enjoyed celebrating the National Day of Spain by learning a Spanish number song and playing games to learn colour names in Spanish!

Reading Progress

We are feeling very proud of ourselves for the amazing progress that we are making in reading during our Read Write Inc lessons. Our confidence is growing and we are enjoying being able to be the teacher to help our partner with their reading too.

 

PE Cross Country Running

Today, our school field was turned into a Cross Country Track! All of the school took part in this annual event and we are really proud of the HUB children for their fantastic participation, team spirit and amazing cheering of their friendsto create a wonderful, sporting atmosphere!

Take a look at these brilliant action shots captured by our resident Photographer – Raphael!

Art – Colour Mixing Skills

This week, we were learning how to mix tones of a colour by adding different amounts of white paint. We are taking great care to hold the paint brush correctly and to control the strokes to avoid any ‘white bits’. We loved chatting about the tones that we had made and used them to practice in our sketch books before painting out final pieces that will be displayed in the school gallery!

English – Non Chronological Reports

We are going to write a non-chronological report about Hull Fair (which we are very excited about visiting!) so we needed to find out which features of writing a report has. We explored this Hibernation report as we have enjoyed reading ‘Don’t Hog The Hedge’ this week as our end of the day story, all around the theme of hibernation.  We discussed and labelled the features with post it notes and will use this as a tool to help us improve our individual writing next week.

 

 

Snails and More!

Hold the Press!!

Worm day is over! George has found a minute snail, let the exploration of these slimy, gastropods commence 🙂

 

Art – Viewing Windows

As Artists, we have been using viewing windows to help us focus our attention on specific details. We were looking at the mighty suspension bridge, our very local Humber Bridge.

Social Skills

We love trying out new games in the Hub and our teachers love to see us developing our speech and social skills while we are playing!

Also this week, George was multi-tasking being a Scientist and a Mathematician after loving our lesson creating different sized shadows!

DT – Exploring Structures

Inspired by our local suspension bridge, we are going to build our very own bridge to transport toy cars across this river. We were tasked with exploring bridges and how to make a structure that was strong enough to suspend a road across. There are our super Lego model bridges…
