Enterprise day!

Posted on March 9, 2022 by birdwellmisscarter under PSHE, STEM challenge

Today Y2 and Y3 were lucky enough to have an Enterprise Day with Paul from the Enterprise Challenge.

They had to design and create their own bubble bath or body wash product. This involved designing a logo, creating a mascot and coming up with a creative name. After designing the product they had to present the product to the judges (and the rest of the classes!)

Here are the 3 finalists…

And here are the winners!

“This is the best day EVER!” Harrison

“I wish we could do this every day.” Grace

“I might start designing things now, I have lots of ideas.”

Building a hideout.

Year 2 have had a go at making a hideout for the worry monster!

After learning Robin Hood had a hideout in Sherwood Forest the children really enjoyed talking about building dens and having secret hideouts. It was such a lovely day we decided we would take our learning outdoors and make our own mini hideouts for our worry monster.

Year 2 demonstrated a lot of critical thinking, problem solving, team work and creativity! Super job, everyone.

This week the STEM challenge was to use resources to create a building, person or vehicle. Some of us worked with partners and paid special attention to details (like adding windows) and others chose to work independently.

This week our STEM challenge was based around construction. We had a go at using different resources to see who could build the most interesting structures.
Here are some of them in progress…

Today we had a go at building 2D and 3D shapes or structures using lollipop sticks, matches or art straws.
I was so impressed with everyone’s resilience, patience and attention to detail. Well done, Year 2!
