Welcome back to another half term. I hope that you managed to enjoy some quality family time together last week, despite the poor weather.

I would like to start by thanking the Year 6 parents who were in attendance at the information evening on Monday. I hope you found it informative and that we were able to answer any queries that you may have.

On Tuesday night, we were dazzled by a sea of party clothes as we welcomed our boogying pupils into the Friendship Disco. I’m not sure who enjoyed dancing most – the children or Miss Careless! Mr Key and Mr Thorp were also throwing some funky shapes whilst DJing too! It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces come together in one place. Thank you for supporting this event which helped to raise funds for the Year 6 residential trip.

Also on Tuesday, we hosted the Year 5 football match against Kirkella. The playing from both teams was excellent although it was a worth win for Kirkella.

As always, if you would like to see what your children have been learning this week, please head over to X (formerly Twitter) where you will see an array of exciting activities that have taken place.

Polite reminder:

It is forbidden for scooters and bikes to be ridden at any point on the school grounds, by either pupils or parents. I am sure you can appreciate that this is for the safety of all pedestrians. Thank you for your cooperation.

Once again, I would like to remind you that if there is an issue with parking on the roads around the school, please call 111 and report this to the police. I would also suggest that photographic evidence is obtained. Please note that the school have neither the staff to man the streets nor the power to issue fines.

 

This week there is an exciting FREE art exhibition happening in Ferens Art Gallery -Hull, I'm sure our budding artists (and their families) would enjoy it so I've outlined the details below.

Jason Wilsher-Mills: Are We There Yet?

24th February 2024 - 2nd June 2024

Join us at the Ferens for a colourful journey into the imagination and experiences of disabled artist Jason Wilsher-Mills!

Created in response to disabled communities in Hull, Wakefield and Manchester, Jason’s theatrical portraits and sculptures reflect aspects of his personality, memory, and disability. This family friendly exhibition is suitable for all ages and includes Augmented Reality (AR) and interactive experiences.

Jason’s fun, empowering and insightful creations will excite and move you. Through this exhibition you’ll gain a greater understanding of our world and how those with disabilities experience it.

Alongside the exhibition will be an exciting and accessible programme of events and activities for all ages. This includes a talk by Jason in May, baby sensory sessions, storytelling, relaxed openings, workshops delivered by artists, and craft sessions.

Jason Wilsher-Mills: Are We There Yet? – Hull Museums and Galleries

Did you know that every Saturday, starting from this weekend, Humber Street Gallery are running 'Arty Bods' workshops? Aimed at children 5-11 they cost £5 a session (or pay what you can).

It goes without saying that if you do attend one of these sessions, we'd love to hear about it!

Have a fabulous weekend. I look forward to seeing you next week!
