Everyone welcome! # Year 3- P.E-Sugar Detectives: Our GULP Project ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-D47B5C17-BF28-4857-8034-E8BF33AB6322.png) 20 January 2026 Today, our pupils became "Sugar Detectives" as part of the GULP (Give Up Loving Pop) project. The children investigated a variety of popular drinks to uncover the hidden sugars they contain. Using their mathematical skills, they completed a comparison table detailing the total volume of each drink and the specific sugar content. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-D47B5C17-BF28-4857-8034-E8BF33AB6322.png) The highlight of the lesson was converting grams of sugar into the actual number of sugar cubes to create a visual representation of what we are consuming. A key takeaway for our detectives was the importance of reading labels carefully; they discovered that while some bottles are 500ml, the nutritional information is often only listed for 100ml, requiring them to calculate the total amount for the whole bottle.
