A student’s view

it in with his commitments to the Hymers football squad.

George has been playing ‘grass roots’ football since he was four years old for his local team, Hessle Sporting Club. He also plays for the Hymers school team and represents his city in the Hull Schools team at the weekends. He had an 8 week trial for Scunthorpe United which has resulted in an offer of a two-year signed contract. George is thrilled with opportunity and can’t wait to be travelling the region playing academy football.

The 2nd team were thrilled to be back onto the hockey pitch for the first time following the Covid Pandemic and our season got off to a great start with our newly formed team, made up of pupils from Year 11, 12 and 13. During the season we had many highlights, including our 6-1 win against Ashville, a 3-2 win against Hill House and the 7-0 win against Scarborough College, where we played some outstanding hockey with great tackles, passes and goals.

Although, we had some more challenging games like our matches against St Peters and Pocklington 2nds, the way we all kept pulling hard together and encouraging each other in every match was impressive, we never gave up and this was great to see and experience. Special mentions go to Evie for winning the players player for her consistently high quality performances and commitment. Most improved player was tied between Kate and Freya, for their amazing development during the season.

We would all like to say a massive thank you to Miss Walker for everything she has done for us. We couldn’t have achieved such a great season without you. It was a great pleasure to be Captain of such a superb team, and one of which, I made such great memories with.

The Year 6 Dance Group gave a superb performance at the Yorkshire Dance Festival. Well done to all the groups that took part.

A huge thank you to dance teacher Mrs Marsden, and to all the parents for their support at the event. Excellent audience participation in the finale!

This year’s Periodic Table of the Elements poster competition has once again proved a success.

Every student in Year 8 designed and produced a poster to illustrate their assigned element. The overall display gives an impressive effect, and the overall standard of poster is high this year, especially the s and f blocks!

The posters were judged for following the rules of the competition, quality and impact. Thank you to the judges: Jess and Rohan, who commented: “There were many fantastic designs and it was nice to see all the hard work that the students put into it.”
