Room 10's define map!

We used popplet to define Enterprise. Have a look at what we came up with!

I found this really cool website with lots of ideas for recycling for kids games and activities - would love to try some out next term!

Being enterprising at lunch time!

Room 11 children built this fantastic tower at lunchtime today! 

They used enterprising skills such as perseverance and initiative because they thought about how would be best to make the tower to make it taller. They used smaller and smaller blocks as the tower grew taller!

Well done room 11!!

Room 11

Room 11 has been doing some great work with enterprise. Take a look at these great photos!

Don't give up!

Bruno Mars has a great song about not giving up! Very enterprising!

Here's a great song about recycling!

Rubbish in the river

Hi all!

Room 10 read a book called Rubbish in the River and saw that rubbish is a big problem!! We did some great thinking or what we saw, why it was like that and what else we wondered. That helped us think of solutions. 

We wrote about what we saw: 

I can see rubbish and plastic in the river.

I can't see lots and lots of people picking up rubbish.

LW

I can see rubbish and not much water. There would need  to be lots of people to take it out. 

 WC

There are no fish.

BM

We wrote about why we thought the river was like that:

I think some people need to pick up their rubbish.

JD 

The river was a mess because people threw rubbish all over the river! They are not recycling. They are making bad choices. This is bad for the fish and the water.

EL

Then we wrote about what we wondered and what the solution might be:

Why don’t they use their initiative and pick up the rubbish and take care of the environment? EL Why don't people use their green bins? I can see plastic. Why don't people recycle? WC How can we help? Room 10

What great ideas! Why don't more people recycle? How could we help this?

WATCH THIS SPACE :)

Room 10

We started our enterprise journey by looking at different stories and thinking about how the characters have been enterprising. 

We looked at pictures how students at our school have been enterprising. Here are some examples. 


Tyre Garden:

Problem: 
Garden boring

Solution:
Paint tyres, recycle and create colourful new space for students to enjoy, 







Drains:

The whole of Elm Park did an inquiry about where water went and what else went down the drains with it.

The solution they came up with is paint sea creatures and warning signs on the drains like "only water down these drains".

They shared an important message with the school and helped our environment!

We did a define map about what we thought enterprise was after we read some great stories about people being enterprising. Here is what we came up with so far! 

This is how room 10 can be enterprising:
