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.
