This week we’ve been very busy creating Christmas products and selling them to make money! Before this, we learned what ‘Enterprise’ is, we got into groups and made business names, logos and slogans. For example,

Look-Look Special

Team Tinsel – It’s Tinsel Time!

MAEJT – MAEJT is maejtical!

Christmas Spirit – Crafts so good, Santa would be jealous!

Team Christmas – Click & Collect Christmas!

We had a £50 budget to start with and we bought items from Mrs Hobson’s ‘shop, made products such as cards and decorations and sold them to Mr Chrystal and Mrs Orr. We had to persuade them that our products were worth the money!

“My team won as we made the biggest profit!” Jovie

“I loved getting to make all the crafts and getting to sell them, as I have a creative side!” Isla

“I think it was hard creating products but we managed to do it!” Maryam

This week in Maths, we learned all about the calendar and also about Advent in RME. These  link because it is coming up to Christmas and we have lots  of Advent Calendars in our homes. We were also learning about what other countries and cultures do to celebrate Advent.

In Mexico they have a 9 day festival called Las Pasadas, which is when they reenact the nativity and also hit pinatas , children share the treats and sing songs. In Denmark, on 1st December they light a special candle to countdown to Christmas.

Today in Maths, we had  stations . We played an ipad game, made a poster about the months of the year and we also added important dates to a December calendar to help us learn how to use a calendar.

“I liked the IPad station, it was fun!” Elay

“I loved the calendar sheet and I liked the questions.” Ryan
