DT - Enterprise Week - 2012

Last week was an exciting week. We designed and made a range of products to sell in aid of Sports Relief. We found out about this charity and how our money would be used for such a worthy cause. 

Over the week we designed and made footballer door-stops and hair accessories with a London theme. We used our DT sewing skills to create some quality finished products.












We carried out some market research and then decided on a price to ensure that we made as much profit as possible. We designed and made posters to advertise our amazing products and created radio adverts for the whole school assembly. We then set our stall ready sell, sell, SELL!












We made £105 in total!

Also during Enterprise Week we thought about our aspirations for the future. We had a visit from Becki Houlston who talked about her job and inspired us to work towards our goals.

History - Victorian Artifacts - 2012

We found a box with a date 1845 on it. The box contained a range of artifacts from the past. We knew it was from the Victorian period and we used our prior knowledge to predict what could be in the box.


Finally we opened the box to reveal a range of objects. We studied them closely, drew them and then thought carefully about their purpose and function.
