World Mental Health Day
The Year 2 and the Year 5 children joined together for a drink and chat to mark World Mental Health Day. They enjoyed spending time with their siblings and meeting old and new friends on Well-being Wednesday.
“It was lovely to talk to the younger children.”
“We chilled out with some relaxing colouring in.”
“I made a new friend in Year 5.”
“I liked going into Mr. Middleton’s classroom and seeing the older children.”
“Everyone was so friendly.”
“I had a chat with Mrs. Brady about music.”
“When you have a chat with someone, it can make you feel better.”
“I hope we can do this again. It was fun and interesting.”
“I looked forward to this all day.”

Y5 Hook Day - Taiko Drumming
This week, year 5 had a fantastic full day of learning a new skill - Taiko drumming! Emma from Humber Taiko spent the day with us and we learned an entire piece about our local fishing heritage. Taiko is a type of Japanese drumming and Emma has trained and performed all over the world. In addition to learning the drums, we also learned dance and chimes to perform alongside the percussion. We learned key skills about attitude, energy and effort, which all Taiko players have to follow to be successful. It was a fantastic day and we finished by performing to the whole school. The children learned so much in a short space of time and we are very proud.

Year 5 Tuck Shop
All key stage 2 pupils have the opportunity to access tuck shop every Friday, for the cost of 50p. Each week, we ensure that a class or a focus group contribute something that they have made to the items that we sell. Year 5 started things off this year with some banana and oat cookies. As it is Fair Trade fortnight, we ensured that the produce that we used was sustainably and fairly sourced. We then advertised our product to the rest of key stage two.
