The Great Fire of London Workshop
Class 1 took part in an amazing workshop about the Great Fire of London. They learnt all about the fashion of the times and what it would have been like to live in London at that time. They explored various artefacts and had great fun trying to work out what they were. The Fire of London was really brought to life in this hands on experience and we are very thankful to Friends of Lockington School for making this possible.
Mini Medics
Class 1 took part in some essential First Aid Training. They were taught how to check for danger before helping a casualty and then what to do to help. They learnt how to make a 999 call and what important information to tell the emergency services. They learnt what CPR is and how a defibrillator works. The children learnt how to put each other in the recovery position and enjoyed bandaging, they are quite the mini medics now!
Creativity Week: 21st - 25th October
Class 1 had great fun taking part in, ‘Creativity Week.’ They were set the challenge of choosing their favourite creative activities and sharing them with the class. We had a great range of models, pictures, baking, dancing and gymnastics shared which was fantastic. The class took part in an interactive puppet show of Room on the Broom and really enjoyed it. One of our favourite parts of the week was eating all the delicious baking that the children made!
Harvest Festival
Class 1 enjoyed a lovely walk down to St Mary’s Church with class 2 to take part in their Harvest Festival Service. The church was beautifully decorated with colourful flowers and looked amazing. Class 1 enjoyed listening to class 2’s performance of how far our food travels to get to us and loved the Italian accents! Class 1 sang a harvest song about all the delicious food we are lucky to have and some of our older children read a prayer. Thank you so much for all the food donations sent in, they were very much appreciated.
Class 1 Bridlington Beach Trip:12th June
Class 1 had an amazing day out at Bridlington beach as part of their geography topic. Their line of enquiry was to find out what it is like to live in a seaside town and discover some of the human and physical features found there. The class took part in a walking trail answering questions about Bridlington and learning lots of information about it. The Harbour Museum provided them with lots more interesting knowledge about Bridlington and its fishing industry. We then enjoyed our lunch on the beach followed by some creative sand art work. Finally, after all that hard work, ice creams were needed!
Kindness Workshop: May 2024
Pupils in both classes took part in an online Kindness Workshop, provided by the charity 52 Lives (www.52-lives.org) and their School of Kindness! The leader enjoyed working with the children so much: “Their work was wonderful, as were their contributions!” Pupils discovered that kindness has three qualities – being friendly, generous and considerate. They learnt about the science of kindness and the positive impact it has on our physical and mental health. They practiced empathy by watching videos of kindness in action and then said kind things to each other. To put kindness into action, they thought of someone they knew who could do with a little kindness and made something to give to them. Finally, pupils looked at the quote: ‘be the change that you want to see in the world’ and decided that we can help to create the kind of world we want to live in.
Easter Service
On the 19th March the whole school took part in our annual Easter Service at St Mary’s Church in Lockington. Reverend Richard led a beautiful service and class 1 enjoyed carrying out some readings of their own.
Red Nose Day
Class 1 really loved taking part in our annual fundraising event for Comic Relief. The whole school was a rosy vision of red for the day!

Over £110 was raised through donations, a cake stall and competition entries.
World Book Day
On the 7th March class 1 enjoyed taking part in World Book Day with the rest of the school. They started the day by inviting their families to come in and read with them. Everyone looked fantastic in their costumes and some parents dressed up too! The children took part in a virtual workshop and enjoyed listening to author, Helen Stevens, share her new book with them. She also showed them how to draw step by step , one of her characters form her book. In the afternoon Sarah Mckensie from Usborne Books did some lovely activities with the class and this was followed by a whole school book fair. A great day was had by all!
Reindeer Run
The whole school took part in a ‘Reindeer Run’ to raise money for Dove House Hospice. The children in class 2 led a warm-up to ensure our reindeer muscles and legs were ready. Then Jensen led the whole school on a ten lap sponsored canter around the playground. Bells were ringing and antlers were dancing, a whole lot of fun was had!
Thank you to everyone who took part, we are still collecting in the money and will let you know the final amount raised.
Christmas Enterprise
Lockington School’s Christmas Fair was a huge success! The event was organised by our extremely hard working Friends of Lockington School. The children opened the fair by singing some favourite Christmas songs and then it was time to visit all the beautiful stalls.
Class 2 had a great time creating decorations and cards to sell on their class enterprise stall. We will let you know what we decide to spend our takings on!
Special visit from Mr Webb
Class 1 were delighted to have a visit from Mr Webb who kindly came to talk to them about being a farmer in the local area. The children were amazed at how big the tractor was and learnt all about the things the tractor was used for and what it can do. Mr Webb told the children all about his farm and the different jobs he has to do on it. The children couldn’t believe that he has never had Christmas Day off, he always has jobs to do!
Special visitors in RE
On Thursday 16th November we were delighted to welcome Sholeh and Sina, faith members of the Bahai Community of Hull. They shared the fundamentals of their religion which is all-accepting and welcomes people of all other faiths to their meetings. The strong messages of love, hope and mankind working together as one, seemed particularly relevant in today’s world. The children enjoyed learning through story, song and discussion all about another world religion.
The Good Samaritan
In RE class 1 have been looking at right and wrong choices. They acted out the Parable of The Good Samaritan and thought carefully about the choices the people made.
