Year 6 Science

By Mr J SUTTON21st October 2025

In science we have been looking at the question: Which exercise will increase our heart rates the most. The children were able to choose three different exercises to compare. To keep it a fair test they decided that they should do each activity for 2 minutes before finding and recording their heat beat. In between each activity they let their heart beat get back to a resting beat before starting the next exercise to ensure fairness. We will be comparing our data next lesson and drawing a graph to show and evaluate our results.

Kites in F1

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD17th October 2025

In our current story ‘Titch’ the big brother and sister both have a kite.

We thought we’d have a go at making our own kites.  The children had to decorate their cut out shape, then cut a piece of ribbon for the tail, stick it in the right place then add a string to hold on to too.

Then they were ready to go!

Roo told me that we needed to wind to make our kites fly!  Well done Roo!

Then later on, instead of doing our Write Dance exercises, we changed it to Kite Dance!  Who would have thought that flying kites could help us develop our handwriting in the future!

Chocolate Fair Apples!

By Jodie Buss14th October 2025

This afternoon in HUB1 we made our very own fairground chocolate apples, in celebration of Hull Fair week!

The children loved chocolate tasting and watching what happens to the chocolate when it heats in the microwave. We loved stirring the chocolate and exploring it’s texture once it had melted! The children had a go at independently dunking their apples and dipping in sprinkles to create the perfect yummy chocolate apples!

This was a great opportunity for engaging in a sensory activity, listening to the sounds of the microwave and sprinkles and smelling the scrumptious chocolate! It was also a great opportunity for language development and turn-taking, sharing and helping others!

We can’t wait to take them home tonight to have a go at tasting our delicious apples!

F2 on a spider hunt

By Mrs E WILKINSON29th September 2025

We love following the children’s interests. Some of the children had noticed the cobwebs covered in dew early this morning. So we went on a spider and cobweb hunt around the garden, which led to so much new language, learning and adventure.

 

Snails!

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD29th September 2025

Freddie found two snails outside today.  He was very excited to watch them and even collected a magnifying glass so he could get a better look at them.

Other children came to look too but Freddie stayed with the snails until they were feeling brave enough to come out of their shells.  He watched them crawl away over the mud and up the wooden wall.  Freddie thought they were may be going to find some lunch!

reflective materials

By Mrs K SMITH18th September 2025

Year 3 have been looking at light in our first science unit. We discovered that there are many light sources that we use every day including the sun, light bulbs, phones and televisions. We were very surprised to discover that the moon is not a source of light and that it only reflects light from the sun. We decided to see what other materials reflected light and which materials reflected this best. We carried out a fair test on materials including tin foil, card and fabric.

We discovered that the most reflective materials had a smooth surface and that the light reflected brightest from these types of materials.
