School community initiatives

Last week, the Y6 and 5 children welcomed the Anne Frank Trust again for what has become their annual visit to the school. The Trust have such an important message to share with the children about inclusion and what it means to be part of a global community. Every year, the children learn something new about standing up to prejudice and discrimination. This year, the focus was on gender stereotyping as well. Our children have a strong sense of their place in the community and we see that in many ways each day. 

We have been so proud of the ways the children have engaged in community events and activities this term – thank you for supporting them to get involved. This week, the Choir sang to the residents of Primrose House, as they were invited over to school to take part in a sing-along of Christmas carols together. 

Here’s a sample of the work the children have been doing to contribute to their wider community, including to the community of trust schools we are also part of. 

Trust Primary Christmas Cards

Our children have been designing Christmas cards to send to their friends at the other trust primary schools.We think you’ll agree that the cards look fantastic and bring bags of festive cheer!

Year 6 Cake Sale

Thank you to the families who attended the Year 6 Cake sale earlier in the term. £120 was raised for the House charities. 

Children in Need, 2024

We enjoyed seeing everyone dressed in their Pudsey outfits for Children in Need Day. Thank you for your kind donations for Children in Need – together you raised £126.00

The Royal British Legion – Poppy Appeal

Thank you to our families for purchasing Poppy Appeal items. We have received confirmation of the amount that we have raised for this appeal and are pleased to share this with you – £253.41.

East Yorkshire Foodbank Appeal
Thank you to everyone who donated food and other items for the East Riding Food Bank. Your kind contributions make a real difference to families in our community. 

AgeUK Christmas Shoeboxes

It was a real pleasure to take the Christmas shoeboxes this week to The Blackburn Club, ready to be distributed by AgeUK Hull to people around our community.

Thank you to everyone, children and families, who helped and donated, from contributing boxes full of treats, to helping me sort and deliver them!

I am sure they will make a lot of people smile when they open their gifts on Christmas Day.

Christmas Fayre, 2024

What a fantastic evening we had! Thank you to everyone who came and contributed for the event – and a huge ‘Thank you’ to our Hunsley Primary Parent Partners for such a fabulous set of activities in the Hall. The Choir did us proud and it was a real pleasure to meet new children and families too. All children who donated pre-loved toys and Christmas jumpers helped bring a touch of Christmas sparkle to the evening.
