This weekend 6CSH Maths Group were challenged to rewrite a song to help us with Maths Revision. Here are some examples…. hope you like them!

Josh – (own rap)

I just chill in the bath thinking about maths
Chilling in the bath douing my times tables
OMG I think they need cables
12 x 12 = 144
6 x 6 = 36
Thats how I get my rhythm by chilling in the bath thinking about SATs
I try so hard to do good in my best
Try so hard to forget about the rest
Just concentrate on the question
When you get put off its like getting a little infection
Maths is hard but I used PRIME to do it
Chilling in the class with friends and teachers
At least they known I can do it
Chill in the class
Then teachers shout, “Get on with your maths!”
I get a lil shock but I will do my best
Don’t know division that much but I’ll learn the rest
New methods everyday day is like I’m turning super
Chilling with friends and doing maths is all I need to do now.

Courtney – Maths Test

(sing this along to the tune of Thriller)

Its close to maths test time,
My calculators hidden in my bag.
Sat at the table,
I see a sight that almost stops my heart.
I try to cover it,
But a hand slams on the table before I make it.
I start to freeze,
As horror looks me right between the eyes… I MULTIPLY!!!!

Cause its the teacher,
Giving me a fright.
And my excuses aren’t going to save me from the teacher about to strike.
You know the teacher,
Is giving me a fright!
My protractor is tucked away,
but my calculator is in full sight! OH!

Well done to all of you who took part in our Enterprise week!

The winners in KS2 were:

3rd place – Mrs Pegler’s Crafty Challenge Chasers!!!

2nd place – Miss Shearer’s Mother’s Day Madness!!!

1st place – Mrs Staley’s The Ultimate Recyclers!!!

Overall we made £625 – how amazing!!!!!

Miss Jackson and Mr Chapman’s  group also won the award for the most innovative products which were some tiled plant pots made from old tomato tins and recycled tiles!

Over the next few days we will be adding some pictures so keep your eyes open to see some of the wonderful things you can make from recycled materials!!!

Today, here in ‘Mother’s Day Madness’ we have been very busy!

We have all designed and planned our lanterns ready for drilling.

We have all had a practice at weaving for our coasters and placemats.

We have also completed our second layer of paper mache on our pots and money boxes.

Our leaders Charles and Andie have taken on lots of responsibilities today (including helping other children, harvesting ideas and growing cress!) and tomorrow will be leading the day independently!

If you are here from another Enterprise Group, why not comment and let us know how your group leader(s) are getting on?

This week is our Enterprise week where we make products from recycled materials and sell them on. Here in our group, ‘Mother’s Day Madness’, we are combining all of our skills and ideas to make the best products possible.

Today we made models out of recycled material for our money boxes and plant pots.

We then paper mached them with newspaper strips and glue.

It was very messy! We also went for a talk with a man from DeMontfort Uni  about how to be enterprising and making things new and exciting.

This has got us thinking about how to make our products innovative and different to other peoples – do you have any ideas to make our money boxes and plant pots stand out from the crowd?

This week is Enterprise Week!!!

We will be moving into different classes and spending the week making products to sell at a fair on Friday afternoon! The products will be made out of recycled materials and will be made with Mother’s Day in mind 🙂

Over the week we will be uploading some pictures and journal entries about the week so you can all see what we do.

Whilst your here why not check out the link below to a fun recycling game to get you set up for the week!
