The Hub enjoyed making bear faces today. They helped spread the honey and placed the ingredients to make a happy face.
The best bit was at the end when they sat down to eat it all up.

F1 had a fantastic Hull Fair Day today. The children that went to the fair last week had so much to tell us about; what they saw, what they ate and the rides they went on. It sounded so much fun. Remi told us, “I go to Hull Fair with my Nana. I went (on) a wheel!” We tried to recreate some of the elements from the fair, which the children loved.
We started off by trying Brandy Snap. It was very crunchy and very sugary and most of us liked it very much!
Outside we had set up Hook a Duck. Phoebe told us that she went on Hook a Duck at the fair told us, “I ‘catched’ a little one and I ‘winned’ a bow and arrow!!”
We also made some ramps for our cars to whizz down, like they were travelling on a rollercoaster. Some times they travelled really fast and zoomed right off the end!
We played a game where you had to knock cans down by throwing a bean bag at them. The children were all keen to have a go and had to think about taking turns. They also worked hard to count how many cans they had knocked down.
Gracie told us all about going on the Ghost Train. “It was just like monsters on each door and you went through.” Amelia said that she didn’t go on it though, “coz it’s too scary”. Archie also knew that there were, “scary ghosts”. So we built our own train and the children took in turns to be ghosts and monsters and make scary sounds.
It really was a happy day, filled with chatter and fun. Well done everyone!
This afternoon during our P.E time, the children decided to make some superb assault courses and practice going over, under and balancing! A great opportunity for putting into practice our positional language! The children worked together as a team to create their own course and helped each other along the way!
The children also loved using the balancing boards from our P.E trolley, coits, bats, hoop and net!
Team work makes the dream work…
There has been a crime!
Someone has been into our classroom this morning and made such a mess! We arrived at school to find porridge everywhere and a BROKEN CHAIR! We had to put on our investigation caps and get to the bottom of who had made the mess!
After lots of discussions and partner talk we decided that it must be GOLIDLOCKS! This made lots of sense seeing as though we have been reading the story “Goldilocks and the Three Bears!”.
We decided to create WANTED posters to find the culprit! We searched high and low to see if we could spot her and set traps outside to find her! We loved trying on our golden wigs to see if it was anyone we knew!
Lots of us enjoyed making our own perfect porridge recipe, that tasted “just right!”

Have a lovely weekend, F1 Staff.
The F1 children have enjoyed our Spanish day. We talked about why we were wearing red and yellow and the colours of the flag. Charlie knew that you would need to go on ‘a really big air-plane’ to get there. We also practiced saying hello, goodbye and thank you in Spanish.
Our latest book we have been reading is Titch. We thought we’d have a go at making windmills like Titch has. They were a bit fiddly but we loved them, especially when the wind blew them around and around outside!
F2 had a special visitor today!
PC Jackson, a local police officer came into school to talk to our little children about ‘People who help us’ and the jobs that police officers do in our local area to look after us. We spoke about the uniform of a police officer and the jobs they do to keep us safe! We had so many questions for PC Jackson and shared some of our amazing ideas! We got to try on some very special police uniform and talked about the importance of a uniform in identifying people, we even spoke about our uniform and how we can identify ourselves with the special Christopher Pickering logo.
PC Jackson talked us through her job as a police officer and what to do if we ever needed help. It was a great opportunity for the children to connect this to Hull Fair, as so many of us have spotted lots of Police Officers at the fair this week. We know now that if we ever get lost or scared at big places like the fair, we can always ask for help!
We loved showing PC Jackson our classroom and chatting all morning with her! We even drew some fabulous pictures for her to take away back to the station!
What a fabulous day F2 had celebrating ‘Hull Fair Day‘! A yearly event in our city’s calendar and one deserving of celebration! Hull has celebrated the arrival of the fair for over 7 centuries!! And to this day our children still love the fun of the fair! We cannot not mark the special occasion! So we traded our usual activities in for some roasting chestnuts, fairground rides, huck a duck games and coconut shy! We got busy painting our favourite fairground rides, pretended to ride the biggest rollercoasters, spent pennies on the funhouse and even tried some infamous BRANDY SNAP!!! The children loved discussing the fair and talked about the things they could see, smell, hear, touch and taste whilst they were there! The experience opened up lots of opportunities for discussions and chats about our senses, what we love and how we also try and stay safe at busy places like the fair!
The children had so much fun and we cannot wait to carry on this topic for the rest of the week!
A few snaps of our very relaxing and chilled afternoon in the library! The children loved sitting together and sharing new and favourite books!
We discussed about what the purpose of a library was, what we should do in there and some very important golden rules! We talked about taking great care of our books and holding them properly, turning the pages carefully and putting them back. The children really loved the time spent in there and we finished our calm session off with a whole class story together!
