Oooh la la! Year 6 French fashion shows

This week in Year 6, after weeks of hard work, our Autumn Term learning cumulated in a series of French Fashion Shows where the children worked in groups to create a fashion look and then describe their model and the styling using all the knowledge of French they have gained. As each group took to the catwalk, the rest of the children used cue cards to express their opinions on the clothes and looks being showcased.

The children also had time to reflect on their group project process and their final outcome.

Year 5 Linden Class - In the Dragons Den this week

As part of our Maths Investigations, Linden Tree class faced Miss Ansell and Mr Griffiths in the Dragons Den, hoping to convince them both to invest in our meticulously planned business ventures.

With a budget of £500,000, each group designed a space-age theme park, calculating set up costs for all the rides, amusements and amenities. We then calculated potential profits based on entry ticket costs and projected guest numbers, whilst ensuring our maintenance costs and wages for the first month would be met. The task needed teamwork, organisation and lots of tricky calculations and after some scrutiny from the Dragons about the profitability of the theme parks, a best group was chosen - congratulations to our top group!
