This week, Y6 have been very busy undertaking important research an presenting their finding’s through pie-charts.
Firat children came up with important questions such as ‘What is the best flavour of I-cream?’ or ‘Who is your favourite teacher?’
Their results where then tallied and converted into a pie chart.
Well done Vanessa!
Children from the Christopher Pickering School Council were privileged to attend Ganton Academy to work alongside the students in Venus class. Work was undertaken on the ‘UN Convention of the Rights of a Child’ whereby the children identified and discussed some of the articles held within the charter. We also undertook some role play activities where we collaborated and acted out significant articles for other groups of children to identify. The children then conducted a QR code hunt using I-pads to match the article numbers to relevant information given. A super morning was had by all, children and staff alike!!! Thank you Venus class!!!

Mrs Sanford and Mr Morgan were extremely impressed with year 56 this afternoon in PE. The children mastered standing triple jump, standing long jump and vertical jump. Thank you to Chantelle, Lynden and Tylah for demonstrating their skills in the following videos so that we could peer assess. Well done!
Year 5/6 have been planning their sports reports today, after the recent Year 6 trip to the KC Stadium. Tylah planned his report using ICT, watch it here.

To celebrate the launch of Hull City of Culture 2017 and our new Spring Topic ‘Made in Hull’, each year group created their own wooden letter. Each letter had to represent a certain aspect of Hull culture. The letter have the following themes:
M- Hull City- Year 2
A- Needler’s Sweets- Ganton
D- Hull Fair – Year 1
E- Famous People – Year 3
I- Hull Rovers – FS
N- Hull Docks – Year 4
H- Hull FC – Year 6
U- Hessle Foreshore- iPass
L- Landmarks- Year 5
L- Fish- FS
During our Made in Hull topic each phase will be learning about a piece of Hull history. FS and KS1 will be learning about Hull’s Polar explorers, Y34 will be learning about what life was like during Hull in the Blitz and Y56 will be learning about Hull’s Docks. It’s going to be an exciting term!
This afternoon our gifted and talented sportsmen and women attend Sirius Academy’s volleyball ‘talent camp’ with Olympic volleyball start, Ben Pipes. The children spend the afternoon learning skills and techniques needed for the game in preparation for next week’s competition.
This afternoon, a group of children went to Country Park, Hessle, to explore the idea of classes going for an afternoon of outdoor and adventurous PE. The children had a fantastic time building shelters, scrambling slopes, throwing stones, balancing on logs and reading maps. Hopefully more children will be able to have a go soon!
This term, past pupil and rugby enthusiast, Lucy Sainty has been coming back to help with rugby club. After initially gaining interest at Christopher Pickering, Lucy has become a keen sportswoman; playing league and union for club and school.
Thank you so much for your help!
