Today was a very exciting day! We spent the morning getting ready for the sale in the afternoon.
The bulbs were wrapped in colourful tissue paper.
Then the compost, bulbs, pots and instructions were put in the packs.
The table was put in the corridor and the packs were put on top. Everyone helped to get ready.
Some children volunteered to answer questions about how we prepared for this challenge. They also collected the money when people bought our packs. We sold them for £2.
Today we have been making the finishing touches to the bulb packs.
The yellow table were working out a problem - if a pack of 15 pots cost £1, how much would one plant pot cost?
Children were given the chance to practise buying and selling objects by playing 2 apps on the iPad.
Compost is being measured out using scales and then put into plastic bags ready for the sale on Friday.
Paper is being decorated so that the packs can be covered and look colourful. Hopefully people will want to buy them!
Ryan is carefully designing a cover using the daffodil theme.
Today we continued with the craft activities ready for our trade fair sale.
Signs with arrows on were coloured in to help people find the Year 2 stall.
Our plant pots have been decorated using lots of different colourful materials.
Each child has begun creating an ebook on the iPads. This is a book which allows us to upload photos and write a sentence underneath. It's like a diary entry for each day of the enterprise week!
We have also finished our display ready for Friday.
Please come to our trade fair . Year two are going to be selling daffodil packs to parents. Please come to Chad Varah on Friday 28th September at 2pm.

Today the children chose to complete the craft activities from our jobs list. They first had to use the iPads to research which daffodil decorations they could make. All the activities were thought of by the children.....Mrs Wood has been having a rest from planning this week!m
Bailey came up with a great idea using tissue paper! He made snow flakes with 2 colours, stuck them together and created a daffodil head!
Holly also used tissue paper to create a daffodil.
The children were given orange and yellow card to create daffodil decorations.
Daffodil posters were created so parents know what the stall is selling.
Some beautiful paintings were created today.... see how we use them in tomorrow's blog entry!
Today was a very exciting day!
The whole school started an Enterprise Week.
We had a visit from Mr Hawkins, our school business partner, who set each year group a challenge!
Year 2's challenge was to create and sell daffodil bulb packs at our school trade fair on Friday.
These are the jobs we thought of in order to get ready for our sale on Friday. To be honest we found this quite a challenge to do!
The children on this table were researching the charities our profit could go to.
These children were writing an advert to invite parents for our class blog.
These children were emailing Mrs Williams our action plan.
Some children filmed an advert for parents, inviting them to our trade fair.
Best Me Friday is where the children choose an activity that will allow them to develop new skills or practise skills already learnt.
This week Mrs Wood's activity was a music band. I am sure the whole school heard the fabulous percussion!
The children chose a song we sing in assembly and then practised following the conductor.
The children had to look at the conductor all the time so they knew when to play.
Here is the choices for this week!
Plant some seeds and keep a diary of the changes (eg:cress).
Find out how a religious festival is celebrated.
Research which animals may be found in the Rainforest and write a list.
Draw a picture of some animals that may be found in the Rainforest.
Remember you do not need to do all of these! You can also choose your own option to earn some credits too.
Happy homework!
