Engineering club representatives

2nd July 2025Chris Mumby

We are incredibly proud to share that three of our talented pupils represented our Engineering Club at the recent Celebration Event in Snaith — and they absolutely blew everyone away with their creativity, teamwork, and technical skills!

As part of the challenge, the children were tasked with testing their engineering builds for both load-bearing strength and their ability to move in a straight line. But the event didn’t stop there — they were also put to the test in a live interview with two employees from Siemens Rail, where they confidently explained their design choices and the reasoning behind their builds.

What happened next was nothing short of amazing…

The judges were so impressed by our pupils’ work — especially the addition of coding in their designs — that they awarded them the top grade, a level never awarded before!

Not only that, but our team secured both 1st and 2nd place, receiving their prizes from none other than Mark Speed, Manager at Siemens Rail in Goole.

Nursery

2nd July 2025Elizabeth Hay

Now we have finished our expedition learning, this week we have focused on ‘children’s choice’. The Nursery children asked for a doctors, a beauty salon and ice creams. They are thoroughly enjoying role playing with the resources, crafting as always is a big hit as is the sand and interactive board. It’s wonderful to see so many happy, busy and creative children today.

Nursery – German Band Visit

2nd July 2025Elizabeth Hay

Yesterday, the children enjoyed a visit from a live band all the way Germany. They played Billie Jean, I got this feeling and Skyfall. The children loved looking at the vast range of instruments and clapping along to the beat. What a wonderful experience for our youngest children to enjoy.

Role playing teachers in Nursery

24th June 2025Elizabeth Hay

Mr Ridgeway, Mr Bettson and Miss Kennedy taught Nursery this afternoon. They taught the children our phonics song, practised our numbers and practised our colours. The teachers were so excellent at the role, I think I might put my feet up and have a rest tomorrow!

…Only kidding – See you bright and early in fancy dress for our day of fun and dancing!

Stewardship in Nursery

23rd June 2025Elizabeth Hay

The children learnt how to take safe risks today with Mr Kershaw. They carefully used the hedge shears to trim the Nursery hedge. The children showed great stewardship but also excellent listening skills and ability to follow instructions.

The hedge looks so much better. Thank you Mr Kershaw and Nursery Crew!

Nursery – Have a Go Henry!

23rd June 2025Elizabeth Hay

Today we learnt about another Learning Alien, Have a Go Henry. We talked about independence and trying something and ‘having a go’ even if it new or tricky. The Nursery children had a great time playing the get dressed game where we set the timer and they had to put as many items of school clothing on as they could. I was so impressed how well so many children could do up the zip in the coat and put woolly gloves on.

Super work Nursery Crew!
