The Nowhere Emporium – Year 5

By Sophie Porteous15th September 2025

The children in Year 5 received a mysterious golden invitation inviting them to visit and explore the wonders of the “Nowhere Emporium”. They excitedly entered the smaller classroom in the Y56 POD only to discover that it had transformed – as if by magic – into an emporium of wonders!

There were dragons and owls, cards and potions, a well-dress mannequin, jewels and an array of other intriguing objects that captured our attention and sent our imaginations running wild.

When they returned to their classrooms, the children discovered that they would be reading “The Nowhere Emporium” this term and that their writing work would be centered around this book.

It was certainly a fantastic ‘hook’ to get us all excited for our English lessons!

Y6 Netball Team

By Mrs H HEBDEN5th April 2025

Our Netball superstars played amazingly during our West Hull league games this week! The team work, skills and determination was absolutely amazing. The games were hosted at Sirius, supported by the Y8 girls who gave up their time umpire the match. We played Bricknell and two Eastfield teams (plus a friendly at the end of the session) so went home happy but exhausted! We still have Adelaide to play and are looking forward to this match. We couldn’t have been more proud! Well done team 🙂

truffle making

By Olivia Mead9th January 2025

In our DT unit, Year 6 have been learning about chocolate, from bean to bar. Our final piece was to design and make their very own chocolate truffles! The children chose their own chocolate, flavourings and toppings to cook their truffles. They did amazingly!

In our new English unit, The Highway Man by Alfred Noyes, year 6 have been analysing the  vocabulary within the poem and using their inference skills to understand the plot. They have also started to create their own story map of the narrative poem!

Today we ended the Autumn term with our first ever Santa Run – and what fun it was! Thank you so much to parents who made a fantastic effort to dress up along with children and run the course around our school field. The funds we raised will be put to good use for new outdoor equipment. Merry Christmas!

EFK Kids Cup Qualifier

By Mr S MORGAN22nd November 2024

Tonight our Y56 boys took part in the EFL Kids Cup qualifier event at South Huntley and what a cold night it was! The boys played a round robin against Elloughton, Brough, Airmyn, Anlaby Acre Head and Anlaby Primary. All of the games were very close, with our biggest defeat being 2-0. Overall we finished 4th but ended the night with a great win against Anlaby.

HAS Timed Badminton Championships

By Mr S MORGAN21st November 2024

This morning, ten of our Y56s headed down to Hull University for the Hull Active School’s Timed Badminton Championships! The children had a great morning playing against teams from Griffin and Eastfield; we even played against ourselves. All of our children who took part are currently playing badminton outside of school so this was a great chance to use their skills to represent the school in a sport they love.

Some fantastic skills on show from our Y5s

A fantastic result for our Y6 team who finished 3rd!

Music with Mrs Stallard

By Olivia Mead20th November 2024

Year 6 have started their music lessons for this half-term with Mrs Stallard. In today’s lesson, the children created melody using the glockenspiels.

What an amazing job they did!

YEAR 5 MUSIC: LEARNING TO PLAY THE CLARINET

By Miss L STEWART15th November 2024

We in Year 5S are thoroughly enjoying our weekly lessons with Mrs Stallard, who is teaching us to play the amazing clarinet. We have discussed the various families that an array of instruments belong to (woodwind; percussion; brass and string) and even learnt the value of different musical notes (minims= 2; crotchet =1 and quavers =1/2).

With steady hands, we have mastered putting our Clarinets together in order (Bell; Barrel; Mouthpiece; Reed then the Ligature): and through much practice, perseverance and determination,  we have even managed to create a tune…which can be quite tricky!

Budding musicians in the making! ENCORE YEAR 5!!!
