This week, children throughout the school have been engaged in activities designed to develop their economic awareness. Year Three/Four pupils (Classes 6, 7 and 8) have been making items to sell as part of a ‘Stationery Sale’ on Friday 27th June. The sale will take place at playtime. Pupils will be selling:
• Pencil toppers that they have made themselves...

• Book marks – again made with their own fair hands!
• Exercise books – ideal as a diary, notebook, sketch book or scrap book.

All items are priced between 10p and 50p
Please come and buy! Bring lots of change – silver coins would be best.
See you there!

Next, we had a ‘Taste Test’ of our own. We sampled different spreads until we could make a choice of which we preferred. We also sampled different types of bread to help us to choose which we would like to use in our sandwich.

Food hygiene was the focus for our next session. We learned how to prepare a basic sandwich, following good hygiene rules (of course we had to sample what we had made too!)

Our focused task was then to use the knowledge we had gained so far and design and make a sandwich that would ‘fill’ the BFG from the Roald Dahl story. We thought about our design criteria (had to be healthy, had to be ‘filling,’ etc) and worked in groups to produce a design.

We then followed the design to make our sandwich. They were quadruple deckers! We had to hold them with both hands when we were eating them! Yummy!

Next, we made a basic frame from wood and secured it with card corners. Once we had done this, we were ready to design our chairs. We thought carefully about the design and use of colour as the chair had to match the personality of the character that we had designed it for.

We made chairs for Action Man, the Little Mermaid, Felicity Wishes, the Three Little Pigs, Horrid Henry – to name but a few!
