What an incredible afternoon we had at our termly talent show last week! Our students truly outdid themselves, showcasing an astounding variety of skills and passions. From captivating musical performances and dazzling dance routines to a range of other unique and impressive talents, the stage was alive with creativity and excitement. A huge congratulations to all our participants for their hard work, courage, and for putting on such a spectacular display. You made us all incredibly proud!

This Summer term our Mini Police team have been working with the local police team to discuss how to keep our community safe. They have had workshops with the crime investigation team, the road safety team, forensics team and many more. The children have had a fantastic time and some have even changed their aspirations for the future. Thank you to all our parents for attending our Mini Police presentation on Thursday where all students showcased their work and were presented with a certificate

Year 6 students had a fantastic day at Cleethorpes Beach, enjoying a fun-filled day in the sand, playing games, and making the most of the beautiful weather. The children spent time building sandcastles, playing football and enjoying many different team games.

They also visited the arcades, where they played a variety of games and collected tickets for exciting prizes. At lunchtime, everyone treated themselves to a delicious fish and chip dinner, kindly provided by Brenda’s Chippie.

A great time was had by both staff and students, and it was the perfect way to create lasting memories before the end of their primary school years!

The children were lucky enough to experience a taster day at Clee Academy all about Space! However the day wasn’t completely about science, they also got to get involved with some PE, DT and music too – some inspiration from which may appear in our next showcase. The Y5 children had a fantastic day, getting to work with peers across the year group, and impressed Clee Academy staff with their engagement, maturity and the outcomes they produced. Students really enjoyed the practicality of the lessons, especially having a little alien friend they could all take home with them – teachers too! 

On Friday our ‘Social Action’ team attended Blundell Park as part of their work with the Grimsby Town Foundation. It was noted how respectful our children were and how well they represented our school whilst out in the community.

Thank you to all the parents and carers who have attended our annual sports days this week and congratulations to the children who have taken part! What a fantastic 2 days filled with delight and joy, ambition and empowerment.

More photos to add soon so keep checking back!

Recently, we visited Brigg Heritage Centre where we made mosaics, Roman shields and helmets, completed an archeological dig to find Roman artefacts and recreated Hadrians wall. The children had a fantastic day and were praised tremendously for their politeness and enthusiasm by the staff at the heritage centre.

Well done year 4! 

Pupils enjoyed celebrating our very first Empathy Day! The theme was ‘Jump into some else’s story’. 

Pupils designed their own empathy power super glasses and read class books, discussing what what empathy is and how we can learn to show empathy through our actions. Pupils took part in a variety of different activities and also created their own story which they then swapped with another year group, who ‘jumped into the story’ to complete it.

They have had a great day joining the festival and have developed their Empathy skills.

This week we’ve been joined by Carolyn and Rachel from East Marsh United, who have been sharing their knowledge and expertise to help construct our willow tunnel, which you can see in the small playground.  We hope that when it grows it will be used for bird/animal watching, with our new binoculars to enhance the children’s learning of the world around them, nature and nurture.

Year 5 had an excellent day visiting Grimsby college. They chose different activities and learnt different skills throughout the morning as well as potential future choices when they are older.

 Sports pupils took part in glow-in-the-dark football and developed team work skills. They could also wear ‘glow-in-the-dark paint to help them see each team. Pupils who took part in joinery got to design and build bird houses which they said was really fun and they look great!

Some pupil took part in computing and Esports where they learnt that you can play online gaming competitively and had a go at doing this on Minecraft – Leila was our winner! Science pupils extracted DNA and pupils who chose acting performed a dance to the APT song. Pupils who chose to take part in engineering designed a key ring and then watched how lasers followed their instructions via computer to print them out.

It was a fantastic day! Some pupils gave us feedback:

Rosie “I want to go to Grimsby college when I grow up”

Ria “It was really fun and I’d like to go back again for the whole day!”

Sofia “It has given me some ideas for what I’d like to do in my future”
