Summer 1

"Visit from Zulu Nation

The Zulu Nation made the whole school dance, clap and sing to their drum beat and songs. What a fantastic day each year group had during energetic workshops and by watching the team dance. 

 12 New Trees.

Jess French a presenter from "CBeebies" came to help HCPS children and the HUG team, plant  12 new trees on the field and at the Orchard. The trees were kindly donated by Octopus energy. It was exiting watching how a camera man recorded  these activities.  We will watch them grow.

 Spring 2 Assemblies 

Assemblies in KS1 and 2 have been really busy, exiting and interesting this term. We enjoyed watching Mr and Mrs Gray paint the Bible story of the Prodigal son.

    International Women's day was celebrated by a visit  from Sue Hickson who is the only female river Pilot on the River Humber and who is also our local Hornsea Lifeboat Rescue volunteer and leader. Sue showed us some amazing pictures of her work at sea.

    Joanne Broad from Dove house came to talk to us about the work they do at the Hospice in Hull and to thank us for the money we have raised so far for their funds. 

  Mrs Haigh and the children in JASS launched a project to make "Eco-bricks"  The children presented a special Assembly where they showed how we could all put our waste plastic to good use by making "plastic-filled bottle bricks" The bottles, placed altogether can be used for building. What a load of fantastic rubbish !!!

Easter Activities.

      Children in Year 3 and 4 enjoyed singing Easter songs and reciting poems during their Easter concerts for parents and carers. Children throughout school have also made Easter cards / hats to take home too

They've arrived!

Eight chicks have successfully hatched out in a "Living eggs" incubator in 3JC. They are sooo...cute!

"Dare to be different day"

Monday February 11th

"Let's dare to be different day" was a day for the whole school to celebrate how we are all UNIQUE!   The children and staff were invited to come to school in their own clothes to display their interests and individuality. Each class chose activities, books  and discussions to match and celebrate diversities within their groups. Some chose to draw or paint themselves, to describe or compare themselves with others in their class or to find out about inspirational people who had "dared to be different" in their own way.

     The "day" and "class books" on show in the school entrance, really show that we are very proud of who we are,through our looks,beliefs and tastes and that we really appreciate the "differences" of others. "We dare!"

Family Learning Day 14th April

We had fun on our family learning day !

Year 1 and 2 Assembly. Summer 1

Assembly this week for Year 1 and 2 contained two very different "signs" of Spring.

    First, we were thrilled when we all met "Minty" Mrs Haigh's and Rosie's rescue lamb. We loved watching him run around the hall and to see him being fed!

    Then... as a special treat we watched Ms Savage's 'sign' language group perform 'This is Me' using sign language they have all learned. What a fantastic Assembly!

World Book Day 2018

Spring term Assemblies 2018

Anti-bullying week 13th -17th November.

Good advice from the children in EYFS to scare away bullies! "Make a monster to scare them!" The children used coloured paper, pom-poms, pipe cleaners and googly eyes to make some amazing "Worry Monsters"  that not only scare away bullies but also love to eat any worry you have too! 

RE Day October 25th 2017  

Theme: ”Buildings” or “Places of Worship”

To link ideas where possible to “Hull City of Culture”

 Objective: To investigate and be able to describe different “sacred places” or “places of worship” belonging to one or more of the six main faiths.

Children in EYFS enjoyed looking at different 2D shapes found in pictures of local church buildings and windows in Hornsea They cut out shapes to make a church steeple for example and used coloured tissue paper to make the stained glass windows.  Year 1 linked Maths and RE by counting animals in 2’s into Noah’s Ark and later looked at different places of worship  such as a Jewish Synagogue, Hindu Temple, Buddhist Wat or Sikh Gurdwara. 1KR also took a virtual tour around a Christian church.  Year2 studied “Places of Worship” in Hornsea and found out what happens during a church service. They also looked carefully at where other faith groups worship by comparing pictures of different buildings. Year3 invited a special visitor from the United Reformed Church to come and talk about the “inside” of the church. The children asked lots of interesting questions and discovered some new vocabulary such as pews for the seating and a Bible stand called a lectern.  Year 4 looked at art in different churches and compared the ceilings of The Holy Trinity Church in Hull with St Nicholas Church in Hornsea and also The Sistine Chapel in Rome. They even had a go at drawing on a piece of paper taped under the tables whilst lying on their backs… fun but not easy!

Year 5 designed their own churches and stained glass windows by comparing Christian church building materials, style, furniture and things in common that they all have, including stained glass windows, towers, steeples and gargoyles.

Year 6 found out about different places of worship in our area and focused on the different symbols of faith found in each. 6NF designed their own stained glass windows as a way of conveying a message or Christian story. 6SP used their knowledge of different symbols and church formats to design their own “Prayer Gardens” with the emphasis on a special and peaceful place. A very busy day.

Autumn Term 1 RE 2017

EYFS have been finding out about the special celebrations and collection of fruit and vegetables at Harvest Festival time. Year 1 and 2 have been thinking about themselves and discovering that they are "unique" They all have different interests, and that people have all kinds of different beliefs.
