Safer Roads Humber has invited all key stage two pupils to enter a road safety competition. The competition is part of a “Drive safely on my road…” campaign which will encourage motorists to drive safely and appropriately at all times.There are some fantastic prizes to be won. Also, the winning entries will be displayed as road signs. As you can see Y6 pupils have come up with some fantastic ideas. Let’s hope we have a winner!!!

The children had fun trying out our new equipment!

Year 5 have planned and will write a biography on the life of William Wilberforce. The children have found lots of interesting facts which they will include.

In Years 3 and 4 the children have been practising their linguistic skills during mini role play activities. The children confidently met and greeted each other and introduced themselves before finishing with a goodbye!

Bonjour!/Salut! (Hello!/Hi!)
Comment tu t’appelles? (What is your name?)
Je m’appelle … (My name is …)
Et toi? (And you?)
Au revoir!/ A bientot! (Goodbye!/See you soon!)

Today we found out about the blackouts in World War two. Also we have been comparing the buildings from during the war and the buildings now. We have been using the I pads and scanning the QR codes for facts about World War two. We worked in pairs and had a clipboard we had to write the facts on our work sheets, we had questions on the sheets that we could find out through the QR codes. We had to venture round the Y 3/4 pod to find them. They were scattered all over the cupboards and all over the tables.

In English, children in Year 4 have been working collaboratively whilst using their computing skills to research important information about one of the significant ambassadors of Hull: Sir Leo Schultz.

We found out that he led a major campaign whilst serving as an MP for Hull at the beginning of WWII to ensure that each household in the city received an Anderson Shelter to keep families safe during air raid attacks. We also discovered that he himself served as an air raid warden throughout the Blitz, for which he later received an OBE from the Queen in recognition of his work both during the war and for his service towards the government!

We will be using our new found knowledge to assist us in writing a formal letter directed to Mr. Schultz and/or the council in relation to the campaign at the time it was led.

In RE, Year 3 have been exploring the concept of leadership and the qualities an individual would require to be considered a good leader. We will be using our knowledge of the leadership qualities we have identified to explore the lives of significant faith founders, such as Jesus, Moses and Buddha so as to compare how effective they were as leaders.

Both Jacob and Archie explained that “A leader has to be good to lead people” whilst Mollie said that “A leader needs to be able to show people what to do and how to behave…like a good role model.”

The images below show the qualities which the children thought were most important to possess as a leader (selfless; kind; strict and serious; caring; have a good sense of humour; tidy; respectful; polite; fair and wise).

This week we have been doing lots of counting – we have counted penguins, bears, seals and lots of other animals! We are getting really good at recognising our numbers. The Red Squirrels group have been exploring the outside area with magnifying glasses, metal detectors and binoculars – it was lots of fun!
