Class 6 have had a busy three weeks with their Business Maths main lesson which has included running our lunch bar/café.  It has been a rather huge undertaking but gosh how they love counting and tallying their profits.  It has been a journey of mathematic calculations and lots of planning and preparation to produce mass amounts of food to order, and our lemonade has always been popular.  The children have worked well collaboratively and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  A final tally has been reached as we ponder ideas of how we can give back to our school as this years graduating class.  Many thanks to all who supported our venture.

In our practice sessions we have focused on the skill of persuasive writing.  We first began by learning how to debate and had lots of fun bringing our skills to fruition.  We then focused on the use of persuasive language in advertising using specific techniques and created our own advertisement.  This led us into our own pervasive written piece on a topic of choice.  Some wonderful writing is certainly emerging as we complete the Class 6 curriculum.

As a class, we have also began to prepare for the upcoming Spring Fair.  A rustle through our craft cupboard and my need to keep everything for a rainy day has paid off.  Collectively, jars were washed and the children have prepared beautiful treasure jars, bookmarks and brooches ready to sell for the craft stall from our left over craft projects.
