Year 6 Explore the Human Heart with Hands On Science!

Year 6 had a fascinating and unforgettable science experience this week as they took part in a Circulation and Heart Dissection session led by Hands On Science.

Pupils learned all about the structure and function of the human heart and the circulatory system, building on their classroom learning with real-life application. The session included a live dissection, giving pupils the chance to examine a real heart up close and explore how blood flows through the body.

Everyone was engaged, curious, and respectful during this hands-on session, with plenty of excellent questions and scientific vocabulary on display.

A huge thank you to the Hands On Science team for delivering such an exciting and educational session!

We had great fun today celebrating our friendship with St Marks Church, who wowed us with their band.  We love working alongside you. Thank you for coming in.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to make an Easter bonnet and join us for our parade today… we loved it!

We hope you have a wonderful Easter break!

We were delighted to welcome Healing Academy, Oasis Wintringham, LHP Housing and Compass Go to our parents and carers evening today.

Mr Blockley from Healing Academy was delighted to speak with a number of families about their plans for secondary school and all the wonderful things Healing Academy has to offer – proud to be part of Harbour Learning Trust.  We’re not sure what tickled Miss Wright and Mr Blockley but they seem to be having a giggle!

Similarly, Mr Hyldon from Oasis Wintringham enjoyed meeting the Year 5s and 6s this evening.

Our friends from Compass Go were delighted to talk to parents and carers about how they can help support children’s mental health and wellbeing, and colleagues from LHP were on hand to offer housing advice and guidance.

Thank you all for attending!

Thank you very much to St Mark’s Church for hosting our first Art exhibition.  The children were delighted to showcase their work from this term, inspired by Picasso, Banksy and Henry Moore.  We’re feeling very proud of our creative children, well done!

In order to raise money for Comic Relief and books for our library, the staff bravely volunteered to allow children to set them a challenge.  Each teacher was given a jar, which families could put money into each day.  The top 3 earners were then given a challenge by the children.

Mr Bowden was the top earner, and he had to face a Bushtucker Trial.  Would you eat a cold spaghetti hoop and cinnamon sandwich?

Miss Wright and Mr Dickson were runners up a  nd were challenged to swap personas for the day.

Thank you to the team for being good sports, and to our generous families and community members who raised a fantastic amount of money, which will go a long way to families in need, and our school library.

Today we had lots of fun celebrating Holi with our friends from the Hindu community.

We held a colour run and celebrated the Festival of Colour, symbolising divine love, by becoming super colourful ourselves.

We loved injecting Delight and Joy into our learning, as always.

As part of our history learning this term, Year 5 visited the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) in Lincolnshire. This exciting and educational trip helped pupils deepen their understanding of World War II, focusing particularly on the important role Lincolnshire played in the air campaign and the lives of those who served.

During the visit, children:

• Explored the interactive exhibitions that bring the wartime experience to life.

• Walked around the Memorial Spire and Walls of Names, paying respect to those who served.

• Took part in a specially designed education workshop, helping them to learn about rationing, evacuation, and the role of the RAF.

• Heard real stories from the past through multimedia installations and historical artefacts.

This trip not only supports our history curriculum, but also encourages empathy, reflection, and understanding of the sacrifices made during the war. It promises to be a meaningful and memorable day.

We want to say a HUGE thank you to our mystery reader this week… PCSO Hare!

We loved hearing your story about the Police sharks.  Please come back again soon!

We have had an amazing time across school celebrating World Book Day. The children came dressed as a word and we had a great range of vocabulary across the whole school. From this fantastic vocabulary the classes created poems using similes to describe them as a class. We had an exciting mystery reader join our assembly, who shared a story with the children. The children guessed correctly and PCSO Jason was revealed behind our sparkly curtain! Children shared books with children in different classes and completed reading activities in their classrooms. A real celebration of reading across the school.
