Maths Day 2023

Today we had  a brilliant maths challenge day. The children were mixed into groups and completed a range of fun maths tasks. In KS2 we had: our own toy shop- working on our money handling skills, we created our own area and perimeter city using 3D shape nets and we had some sports maths challenges in teams. In KS1 we had an underwater escape room using maths to solve the code and we created number facts flowers. In foundation the children had lots of practice counting, ordering and matching numbers. The children all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and developed their team working and problem solving skills.

Harvest Festival 2023

Year 6 Trip to Phillips 66

Today we had a brilliant visit to Phillps 66. We had a tour of the safety induction centre and VR cave, did some team building with a STEM activity and had a presentation about Humber & Decarbonisation, before having our lunch in the canteen.  Gracie said she really enjoyed it and the best part was identifying the hazards in the VR room. Jacob enjoyed being in the meeting room, learning about decarbonisation and the Gigastack project. He said he would like to work here in the future. Rebecca and Louis thought the team building was really fun, building a tool box. Anthony said he liked how the staff made learning about safety interesting. Thank you Phillps 66!

Humberside Police Visit- June 2023

We have recently had a visit from Humberside Police and what an experience it was! Our students had the opportunity to look around one of the police vehicles, try on some handcuffs and even check their running speeds with a speedometer! It's super important that we all stay safe when out in the community and P.C Richard Kirk was on hand to offer some great advice on how to do so! We're really proud of our students' respect, thirst for knowledge and we are thankful for the relationships Humberside Police continue to sustain with our students, which in turn supports the continued development of positive communities! Head over to our pupil voice page to see what the children thought about the visit!

Climate Change Workshop

Today year 5 and 6 had a Climate Change workshop. First we thought about our local area and ranked Killingholme on criteria that were important to us such as transport and places to play. Then we considered how could improve the area by adding wildlife areas, transport links and places for renewable energy. We added these to large maps of the area. Our local council rep will hopefully take note of these ideas for change in our local area.  The children presented their ideas well to the class and enjoyed the workshop. 

Our School trip this Summer term was to Cleethorpes Beach. In History, we have been looking at seaside holidays from the past and what brought people to the seaside. People used to visit the beach after being instructed by their doctor, to make them better. We found out that women used to use bathing machines and everybody wore long-sleeved clothes and trousers, no matter the weather. Today we visited and saw the difference from then to now. We had fish and chips, ice-cream, candy-floss and built sandcastles, we even found a crab! Thank you to all adults who came on the trip and made it a great success! 

Thank you to those who came to view our Art Exibition on Wednesday. Our students have been working so hard to produce incredible pieces of Artwork, inspired by their Artist's of the term, we are so very proud of how they turned out. The exibition was a great success!

Alice in Wonderland 

On Friday 28th April, we welcomed a Theatre Company into school to perform the classic tale, Alice in Wonderland. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and joined in with the performance.  

End of Term Experience!

All children enjoyed their 'End of Term Experience' on Thursday. They handled snakes, guinea pigs and even a millipede!

Easter Service at St Denys Church

Today we visited St Denys Church in North Killingholme for an Easter service. We had a wonderful time and learnt all about Palm Sunday, The Last Supper, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. We sang hymns to celebrate along side of this. Thank you so much to Reverend Pat & the Ladies at St Denys Church for welcoming us. 

Easter Fayre

Thank you to all who came to the Easter Fayre and supported raising money for the school.

Science Week

Today, we had a range of science activities that we had fun with at lunch time to celebrate National Science Week. We were forensic scientists, bug hunters and investigated forces with paper helicopters. The year 5 children led the activities really well and supported the younger children. We hope to do this again soon!

World Book Day

Thank you to all the children who dressed up as their favourite character today & also to all of those who brought in a spoon - what a fantastic day Killingholme Primary had celebrating!!
