Our Year 3 and Year 4 students have been channelling their creativity as it was Lego Day in the Junior School. They have spent their workshops building some fantastic creations, working together in teams.
After days of rehearsals and an exciting two days of competition for soloists and bands, Gore was announced as the firstever winner of the House Music Cup in our Senior School!
Early in November we held the first ever House Music Competition.
An amazing total of 82 students took part in the event, performing music from all styles and genres and earning points for their Houses.
The House Music Classes were adjudicated by Mr R Mitchell from East Riding Music Service. Students performed to each other and the adjudicator and then received feedback and the results. Mrs Fong and Mr Mitchell were treated to a day of superb music making, thank you to all students that performed.
Congratulations to Ann, Gracie, Daniel, Anay, Martha, Chris, Rhea, Xavier and Soala for achieving first place in their respective classes.
Results after House Music Classes:
4th place - Trinity
3rd place - Brandesburton
2nd place - Holderness
1st place - Gore

Well done to Eliza and Elizabeth, both in Y8, who had the fantastic opportunity to perform with the Northern Ballet’s Nutcracker at Hull New Theatre - what an opportunity!
A ensemble of Year 10-13 students brought the world of Pip and Miss Haversham et al to life. Our thanks to all the pupils and staff involved in the production of the production.

Students from our Senior Chamber Choir performed in Hull Minster with the Gabrieli Consort for the ROAR project, supporting younger students and singing in a stage choir with the Gabrieli Consort performing Music by Praetorius and Schutz. What a fabulous experience!
Recital Evening
It was wonderful to welcome Old Hymerian and soprano soloist Beth Mackay to our Recital Club in November. She was joined by Richard Quick on violin and Andrew Penny on clarinet with accompanist Lester Bartlett for a feast of song and chamber music.
Andrew Penny was performing in his last Hymers concert before retiring in December.
Donations were taken for our school charities of the year.
