​UH School Councillors

At the start of the year, we held elections for our school council representatives. This was a great opportunity to discuss democracy and how elections work in the UK. Each candidate gave a speech or presentation and then the children voted for the two children they wished to represent them at School Council meetings. Our School Councillors will put forward the views of the children in UH relating to important issues within school as well as helping organise and run events throughout the year.

Homework

Homework will usually be set on a Tuesday and will be due in on the following Monday. As well as completing the homework, the children are also expected to read at least four times a week. If the children do not complete their homework or required amount of reading they will have to attend sessions during Monday and Tuesday lunchtimes until the activities have been completed. We do also offer a homework club, which is voluntary, for the children on Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes. This allows the children to complete that week's homework in school with members of staff.

Stories with flashbacks

In our writing lessons, we have been learning about stories with a non-linear structure (flashbacks). We have taken inspiration from the animated clip titled 'The Piano' and written our own stories with flashbacks based on 'Goodnight Mister Tom.'​
