This week in Sherwood class we have been preparing to sell our enterprise products at the school Christmas fayre on Friday 6th and at Idlewells shopping centre in Sutton.

We have also finished our reading our book 'Holes' in English and we worked in small groups to act out parts of the story. This helped the children discover and understand different forms of text and find ways to use expressive language to portray different characters from the story. 

Last week we visited Patchings Art Centre in Calverton, the children enjoyed looking at all of the different pieces of art that were on display in the outdoor environment, we also took the opportunity to visit the cafe and work on the classes independence by allowing them to order and pay for their own drinks. 

This week we were looking at Enterprise and we went into Sutton-Ashfield on the bus on Monday morning to look at packaging for our projects. We decided that we were making brownies, shortbread, and Christmas stickers. Throughout the week we made and tested the products. We did some surveys to ask classes their opinions about our products. We made some packaging. On Friday we had the 'Dragons' come in to listen to our presentations about our products.
