Wet Chalk Artwork

By Mrs L READ14th October 2020

This week, F2 have been making the most of the wet weather

by experimenting with chalk.

We loved how the colours mixed together when we added more water…

… and we saw how the colours looked brighter when they were wet.

The texture became thick and tacky when we used a brush on the wet chalk…

…and we noticed how wet and dry chalk just looked different,

but most of all, we enjoyed making our own fabulous artwork creations.

SPORTS RELIEF 2020

By Mrs J SANFORD16th March 2020

 

 

For sports relief this year we covered 3 elements to help us get our ‘game on.’ We learnt about the heart and the affects of exercise on the heart. We put our hearts to work during our active mile. We also looked at the body and learnt about how to be healthy. Each class designed and made a healthy meal or snack. We also spoke about our soul, and how we can be calm and happy, for this we did some yoga and a guided meditation.

Please click on the link below to see pictures of the day in each year group. It was a lovely fun day for all year groups and we really did learn a lot in aid of Sports Relief and raised money.

Child mental health week

By Mrs D O'LOUGHLIN7th February 2020

As part of Child Mental Health Week, the children in year 3 have been discussing bravery and what it means to be brave. They loved reading and discussing the story of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark. They talked about Plop’s journey of personal discovery from a shy, timed and frightened owl to a brave and courageous one. They then began to design their own

characters which will all overcome a Image result for the owl who was afraid of the darkchallenge by being brave. By the end of the session, the children were able to say that bravery comes in different shapes and sizes. Being brave means different things to different people. For some it may be asking for help in class, for others’ perhaps learning to swim. Everyone is different and we ALL NEED TO BE BRAVE SOMETIMES!

Find Your Brave

By Miss J STAINES4th February 2020

As part of Child Mental Health Week, Year 5 have been exploring the concept of bravery. To start or discussion, we talked about what bravery is and what things come to mind when we think of bravery.

       We then discussed how being brave makes us feel and challenges and obstacles we may face when we try to be brave.   

Finally, we listened to the song This Is Me from The Greatest Showman. We discussed the meaning of the song and talked about how being our true selves is sometimes the bravest thing we can do.

Anti-Bullying Ambassador Training

By Miss J STAINES25th January 2020

Earlier this week, Miss Staines took 10 Year 3/4/5 children to Hull Collegiate School to be trained as Anti-Bullying Ambassadors. Throughout the day, the children learned about the different types of bullying, ways in which to combat bullying and methods for raising the self-esteem and confidence of their peers. The children were outstanding representatives for the school and have already come up with numerous, fantastic ideas and initiatives to help educate other students about the effects of bullying and to make Christopher Pickering a happier and safer place.
