We have been so busy this week that there wasn’t time for pupils to share their learning, so I will do it for them.

This week has been all about their enterprise project. Firstly there was lots of maths to be done in order to find out where was the best place to buy the items we needed. We had to do a lot of calculations to work out how much we needed and how many packs we would have to buy. Then we had to take account of any special offers like buy one get one half price. Next we had to work out how much each item would cost and decide on a price.

We were originally going to make papier mache pots for our bulbs but this was proving to be too time consuming to dry them out and we ran out of time.

Planting the bulbs was great fun (and messy!). We learned lots about wrapping too, including how to curl ribbon. The cellophane was quite tricky to use as it kept sliding away, so we needed teamwork and perseverance to get the wrapping looking good.

Now all we have to do is wait until the spring to see the beautiful flowers.

Our pots are £3 each and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow at the Christmas Fair.
