They have had a host of visitors talking to them about their different occupations. Then they used this knowledge to develop their own enterprising ideas ranging from bird boxes, cakes, door hangers, face painting and even a relaxing hand treatment spa.

Not only did Class 4 have a fantastic time running their Spring Plant enterprise... but their super talented teacher put together this amazing Animoto of the whole experience!

Spring Bulbs.jpg

Sowing Seeds of Success!

She said I wasn't allowed to put it on because the music was 'nowt to dee with fluwers' (that's how Mrs Ferry talks. But I thought she'd done such a fab job it would be a shame not to share it. Just don't tell her it's on!

Leave a comment to say what you feel about her film.

Mr Firth

P.S. If like me you think she should have put each image AFTER the text about it - just say so. She ignored me but perhaps she'll listen to you!

S7300114.JPG Fantastic fun has been had by all in Key Stage 1 during Enterprise Week. We have had lots of interesting visitors to tell us about their job. Each class made products to sell at our market on Thursday. We interviewed staff at Windy Nook School to find out about their jobs and we thought about which jobs we would like to do when we grow up.
