Hill House School Doncaster Independent School

Y1 Pedestrian Training

The training given to the children at Hill House is designed to develop good behaviour patterns that will become habitual and so keep them safe. Children are taught practical pedestrian skills at the roadside by trained parent/carers, trainers and school staff, rather than in the classroom.

This encourages the children to think about solutions to road safety problems such as the brow of a hill, parked cars and bends in the road which cause obstructions to their view.

The children were very well-behaved and got a lot out of the day. Thank you to all involved for making the day so special.

Nursery visit the Library

The Nursery visit to the Library was bursting with excitement from the 'Itchy Bear' story sack, even though the highlight of the children's visit was travelling on the bus!

Year 2 Visit Normanby Hall

NH1

Year Two stepped back in time on Wednesday, to discover what it was like to be a Victorian. We all enjoyed the fun and interactive activities, exploring Victorian home life from the perspective of the domestic staff at Normanby Hall Scunthorpe. In the afternoon we were involved in a Wash day activity, allowing us the opportunity to experience first hand the various artefacts, answering the questions, What are they? What were they used for? This always proves to be a very tiring but exciting day for children and staff, giving us a real understanding of how difficult life was before the introduction of electricity and running water into our homes.
