Music Workshop on Well-Being Wednesday!

 

We really enjoyed our music session with Jim Elliot today.  We learnt about different types of guitar, increased our musical vocabulary and also played some tunes on the boomwhackers!  It was great fun!

Maths Enrichment Day with an Eco focus!

We worked in Mantle groups to come up with ideas for selling items on a stall at a Victorian Fayre, with a focus on eco-friendly products and an awareness of carbon footprints!  We tried to make sure that our products were locally sourced and that we used recycled materials where possible.  We had to try and make a profit!  We calculated the cost of rent, wages, materials and advertising amongst other things and then took these costs away from our total of items that would need to be sold to see whether we had made a profit or loss!

Materials!

We have been investigating materials in science this week with Mr Clarke!
