Authors, illustrators and now educators!

13th October 2026Richard-David Hewitt

This half term Year 6 have created a wonderful piece of writing aimed at Year 4 children.

They were tasked with producing an informative, fun, educational and engaging information text about one of the planets in our solar system and WOW, did they rise to the challenge! The work produced was exceptional and a real credit to their hard work and pride.

Following this, the Year 4s were lucky enough to get to not only see these exceptional pieces of work, but our Year 6s sat with them, enthusiastically read them, talked through the process and expertly answered the brilliant questions posed by our Year 4s.

Both year groups were an absolute credit and it was a genuine pleasure to watch. Great work to all involved!

The Gift of Giving

26th November 2025Helen Jenkins

After selling academic calendars from our previous expedition, Fight For Your Rights, and hosting a bake sale, Year 5 & 6 students raised over £600 to support not one, but two local food bank charities!

A huge thank you to all the parents, students, and everyone involved for making this happen. Your hard work and generosity are helping provide food for families in need within our community.

Maths Week England

21st November 2025Richard-David Hewitt

In honour of Maths Week England, the children have participated in a range of different maths based tasks this week. We have explored and completed a variety of problems that required some different thinking.

The children have showed great perseverance, resilience and patience. They’ve had to work systematically and had to work together to battle through these difficult problems but have done so exceptionally.

Close Encounters

As 6RH begin the second half of our expedition, we have had a visit from some very interesting and unusual creatures as we re-hook the children into our learning.

Split Art

5th September 2025Richard-David Hewitt

During Hook Week, Year 6 have had a perfect opportunity to model our Craftsmanship & Quality character trait and what a job they did! They have worked incredibly with great focus, precision and a real eye for detail. In addition to this, the support, compassion, and teamwork on show was exemplary which ensured they all produced a fantastic individual piece of artwork which came together to form larger pieces inspired by our current expedition.

Crew Week

4th September 2025Richard-David Hewitt

During our first week back, Year 6 explored the question ‘How can we get everyone to the top of the mountain?’

We took an in depth look at our character traits of respect, integrity, courage, compassion and craftsmanship & quality, discussed their importance and how the children could demonstrate these on a day to day basis. They dived straight into modelling these expertly during a variety of team building exercises. Throughout the week, the children took part in trust exercises, a mini olympics, a sponsored run/walk, bridge building to name just a few. Unbelievable camaraderie, solidarity, teamwork and support was on show by all; we are primed and ready storm through the year!

Y5/6 Mixed Cricket @ Askern CC

2nd May 2025Helen Jenkins

More success today as the Y5/6 mixed cricket team secured silver medals. Unfortunately, the final did not go their way but there were stellar performances all around. A shout out to one of our youngest team members for her incredible performances over the last two days (girls and mixed cricket tournaments): Eleanora!

Well done to both the girls and the boys teams for all their practice during lunchtimes and break times. Onto the Y3/4 cricket tournaments in a couple of weeks time!

World Book Day!

10th March 2025Richard-David Hewitt

What a fantastic day! This year, the children threw themselves in to our Alice in Wonderland theme by learning and performing ‘The Jaberwocky’. They showed great courage to perform this (with actions) to our year 4s. The day has inspired us further to create some wonderful watercolour paintings of the monsters within the poem!
