Entrepreneurs!

It has been an exciting couple of weeks with our Y5 and Y6 planning enterprise projects for over the Christmas period.

‘Economic’ education is an important part of the PSHE curriculum and we believe our older children can really explore this best through a project-based approach.

Our Y6 children have been planning, costing and manufacturing homemade Christmas cards to sell at the Christmas performances. Our Y5 have done the same with ‘Can you build a snowman’ marshmallow kits and some ‘Reindeer Poop Soup’ kits! Whilst collaborating on these projects, the children learn about finances, marketing, manufacturing and retail as well as braving the customers when selling their products!

It has been a very productive week – with profits made that will go towards books for ‘My Book Blog’ and for Y6 end of year celebrations. Well done, everyone!

Book-Blogging Crazy!

Today our Y5 Book-Blogging pioneers shared their expertise with the whole of KS2 during a special assembly.

Using the ‘My Book Blog’ website and their log-ins, the Y5 children showed Y3-6 how to choose books by reading blurbs and reviews and watching trailers. They also showed others how to blog about a book and take part in opinion polls and surveys. As teachers, we love the focus on language with power words and glossaries galore!

We think this new resource will be a hit with all of our children and can’t wait for the whole of KS2 to be part of the ‘MyBB’ club! Logins and letters will be out in time for pupils to start reading and blogging over Christmas!
