Dear Mr Carver
My name is Amy-Leigh and I am at Highlands school. Last week we went on a trip to Hull and we came to your restaurant for our dinner. Thank you for letting us stay for our dinner. I sat next to my friends and I enjoyed my fish and chips. I put vinegar on them because I like it. AmyAmyAmyAmy----LeighLeighLeighLeigh
Dear Sir
I am a pupil from Highlands Primary school and I am writing to thank you for taking us on our trip. I felt excited when I got on the bus because I have never been on a Hull City bus. It looked good outside bit it was like an ordinary bus inside. The bus driver was funny when he layed down on the path when we were having our photos taken. I enjoyed looking out of the windows and there were some big houses and we thought they belonged to the Hull city players. I really enjoyed going on the Tigers bus thank you. ReannaReannaReannaReanna

I like going to training because I get to meet other people. It starts at 4pm and ends at 5pm. I go near Asda to train, I play defence because im good at grabbing so the other team can’t get the ball if they did they would score a try. I enjoy going to Rugby as I learn new skills and I am getting better every week. It is fun and exciting.

My teacher is called Sarah and her assistant is called Alisha. I learn to do Jazz, Hip hop, Ballet, Tap and Modern dance. I have to wear a blue leotard and a blue skirt and I don’t like it because it irritates my body. The worst thing is I cannot wear make-up! My favourite dancing is Hip hop because the moves are not too slow and not too fast. The Club helps me to think of new dance routines which I can use in my dance lessons at school. I really enjoy going to the club it is the best part of my week.
