• Yr 5/6 Enterprise Day

  Thu 20 Sep 2012

  Six of our able mathematicians for year 5/6 were invited to join with children from other local primary schools at CBEC for an Enterprise day on 20th September 2012. 
  
  They spent the day working on a project to design and sell a mug in aid of a charity. This involved not only choosing a charity and creating a design on the computer, but also working out the profit margins and percentages, taking into account the costs of production and the donations to the charity. They also looked at how profits and percentages would be affected by giving a discount for bulk buying 100 or 1000 units. 
  
  All the children excelled themselves, with some happy to take lead roles in groups of children from other local schools. There was much interest and discussion about the profit margins and how they changed. Let's hope these future aspiring Alan Sugar's remember their little primary school when they earn their first million!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

   

  

• Voces8 Vocal Workshop

  Fri 14 Sep 2012
  On Friday 14th September Key Stage 2 were lucky enough to be invited to take part in a workshop lead by Voces8 at Oakham School chapel. After warming up our voices and our bodies, we had the opportunity to hear the group sing in close harmony, both classical and more modern music. We then learnt a song about monkeys where we got to show off our dancing skills, before learning to sing Jessie J's song 'Pricetag' in 3 parts.
  
  We have been asked if we would like to help pilot a new singing resource for primary schools from January. Listen out for our rhythm and voice improvising after Christmas!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

• Plastic Bottle Greenhouse

  Thu 13 Sep 2012
  Thanks to a willing band of adult helpers the roof is now on our plastic bottle greenhouse. Thank you to all who collected bottles.
   
  We still need to complete the two triangular ends in the roof. If anyone has any sheets of perspex or corrugated plastic that could be donated for this purpose we would be very grateful. The two triangular sides that we need to cover are 185cm along the bottom by 135cm. If you can help, please contact the school office.
