We had fun buying a chocolate bar and some sweets for our new theme…linking in some maths skills to calculate change from a pound or in some cases how much more money they had for extra sweets! Well done guys. 

Class 9 loved throwing themselves into writing plyscripts for their hook into their new English cycle this week. Being able to chose their own scenario around our new class book really got them hooked in! Fantastic efforts guys.

We have had such a creative, lovely week. The children have all helped create a range of lollipops, flowers, sweets and more to make our classroom that little bit more special.   

Class 9 have amazed me in the first week back by producing a fantastic set of summaries based on the film Charlie and the chocolate factory. Well done guys!

This morning, Class 11 visited the local shop to undertake some market research on product packaging in order to get some ideas for when they design their own delicious product that’s fit for Willy Wonka’s Factory!

Once we had got back to school, we had a circle to discuss why that product stood out to them; What made the packaging so appealing? What ideas could they take from that product and put in to their own?

The children had some creative ideas so I’m very excited to see what they can come up with! Watch this space! And watch out Cadbury’s!!!
