P1-4 Enterprise

Leave a comment

Primary 1-4 have created their own enterprise business and want to tell you about it.

First of all we looked at what enterprise was, what a business was and thought about businesses that we know of.

We then had to think of what we wanted to do for our enterprise project/our own business. We all thought of different ideas and took a vote. We decided to make gift tags. Once we decided what we were making we had to think of a name for our business. We all thought of a good name and wrote these on the board. Once we shared all our ideas we took a vote on which one we thought would be the best name for our business. Our winning name was Tig Tag.

After this we  looked at logos and how people can identify companies just from their logo – Miss Nicholson created a quiz for us with well known logos. It was great fun and we did really well at identifying them. Then it was our turn to create our own logo for Tig Tag. We all drew our ideas on a paper and had a vote using pom poms.

Monica’s design won.

This week we began making our gift tags, we had different jobs to do. P1 were stamping out little Christmas designs for us to stick onto our gift tags, P2/3 were drawing Christmas tags – we have stars, baubles, Christmas trees, scalloped edged tags and regular rectangle tags. P3/4 were cutting these out. Next week we hope to begin decorating these tags.

Children In Need 2016

Leave a comment

For Children In Need this year we came to school in our pajamas and had a sponsored times table challenge. When Mrs Lawson blew the whistle everyone had to stop what they were doing and write down their chosen times table as many times as they could until the second whistle blew then we swapped over to mark each others work. Once we knew how many each person got right we collated this to get a total number and recorded them on a piece of paper under our class. This is what each class were doing:

  • P1 – addition sums
  • P2 – 2x table
  • P3 – 4x table
  • P4 – 6x table
  • P5 – 11x table
  • P6 – 5x table
  • P7 – 11x table
  • Staff – they did a mixture of the 2, 13 and 64x tables!

Primary 7 organised different activities for us to do. They put us into cooperative learning groups and told us we had 15 minutes at each station. There were 5 different stations that each primary 7 led: Emma led an information station learning about what Children In Need is and what they do with the money raised. James led a colour/design the best Pudsey competition. Dylan had Children In Need games on the laptops. Sabienne had a group completing a word search to do with Children in Need and Jessica led a dance group. Here are some photos of our day.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who sponsored us for this challenge, along with this money and the £1 we all paid for wearing our pajamas and the sale of the key rings (they were £1) we raised a fantastic £350.65!!!

So again, thank you very much!!
