We had our Christmas Party yesterday which was great fun. Here is some photos of what we got up to.
Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
Dear Parents/Guardians
It has been an exciting week with the panto, the winter craft sale and the coming Christmas party we are excited about what we are going to do with £127.45 it is a lot of money acquired by parents and children. Finally a child has reached 70 dojos allowing them to get laptops at lunchtime another thing that has happened is the other class got over £180. On Monday we made biscuits as well as baubles we also had a competitive Christmas quiz.

It’s been a very busy couple of weeks, but our Back in Business project was a massive success. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project, whether it was by providing things from home or by coming and buying the products the pupils had made at the fair. A big well done to everyone for working so hard. All the companies made a profit and together the class made £127.45. Now we just need to decide how exactly the money will be spent after the holidays!
This term our topic is “Back in Business”. Within this topic, pupils have each taken on a role in setting up and running a small enterprise and will evaluate its success.
Pupils created their own groups and brainstormed ideas of a Christmas or Winter craft that they would be able to make and sell. Once groups and product ideas had been settled, it was time to decide who would perform each role. Each group had to have a person or persons in the following positions:
To decide which role would be given to each pupil, and to learn about real life hiring processes, each pupil completed their own job application for their preferred role. If there was more than one candidate competing for the same position, then application process continued to the interview stage. The standards were very high!
Throughout this topic, the pupils have been investigating ways to meet this challenge of creating and developing products that they can make to a high enough standard to sell. They have continually assessing their ideas along the way, and have identified problems and come up with solutions.
They are all very excited to showcase their products. We will finish the unit by evaluating each group’s and individual successes and areas to improvement and reflect on the real world applications of the skills they have learned.

We Three Kings
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light
