Year 4's Entrepreneur Morning

The children in Year 4 were challenged by their teachers to turn a £10 investment into profits for the school's charity, SOS Children's Villages.

 

All the companies have worked hard to put together their own identity, advertising campaign and product/service (see the advertising here: http://prezi.com/m65a-neyaslm/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share).  The children then approached their sales to the parents with enthusiasm and fun on Saturday, whilst maintaining high levels of behaviour.  This is evidenced in the feedback from parents, who commented: 

All the teams did an excellent job and they should all be commended. 

Parents and children loved this event - such fun and great initiative and charity benefitting hugely from the profits made. Well done!

What a fun time we had! Thought the popcorn was a little bit pricey. Regret that we didn't get our car washed - it was excellent value! Thoroughly enjoyed watching the children sell their products and work as a team.

In their final week the children used Microsoft Excel to present their accounts.  The profits were then combined and the total amount raised for the school charity was £468.47, a brilliant effort!

Year 4 Trip to the National Gallery

Year 4 Trip to the National Gallery

On Tuesday, 16th July Year 4 backed their backpacks and headed off to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, London. The children first enjoyed the journey in to town on the train, using the time to sketch different items and objects that took their fancy. Many of the girls chose to draw each other, whilst the boys tended to lean towards more accessible subject matter such as doors or the seat in front of them.

After braving the London underground, always a nervous moment for any adult accompanying a group of children on a school trip, we walked from Embankment to Trafalgar and in the back door to the Education centre. The first job on the agenda was a tour of part of the gallery led by Mrs Weston. The children took their pick from the works of artists such as Constable, Turner and Stubbs and chose one to recreate in their own hand, noting down information about the painting and artist, as well as considering what emotions the work stirred in them.

After a packed lunch in a gloriously sunny Trafalgar Square, the Year 4 students were taken on a tour of five notable works around the Gallery. These included Tintoretto’s ‘Saint George and the Dragon, Masyss’s ‘Ugly Duchess’ and Rousseau’s ‘Surprised’. The children listened carefully and responded creatively when pressed to consider the works by their tour guide Sarah, and she was impressed with their intelligent ideas.

On the way back to school the children enjoyed a ‘well-done’ ice cream for conducing themselves so well on the day out. This, and having to remain quiet for long periods of time inside the gallery, might explain the trip home, which was somewhat noisier than the trip there!
