ENTERPRISE CLUB!

At Greenfields we run a range of clubs after school and one of them is Enterprise club.This club is a club that was inspired by The UK tv show “The Apprentice” In this we each get a budget of £10 ($16.53 australian) And then we have to make a company making items to sell and then make a profit.This year we split into two teams. Team number one is called “Team Fearless” and the other is called “Team Spectrum”.Team Fearless made paper bead bracelets whilst Team Spectrum made biscuits. Heres the link to their blog:

My Driving Lesson.

On Sunday, I went to Birmingham, to have a driving lesson at Young Drivers. Young Drivers was brought to the UK, because most people crash on the first six months of getting their licence, so if young children, under the age of 17 start now, they hopefully won’t crash! There was an instructor next to me, telling me what to do, and he called me “The cone Murderer!” because I ran over all the cones. My instructor had a clutch and brake on his side, and he also called me the  “Speedy one!” It was so much fun, I will definitely do it again!

Maths Games with Year 4 and 5!!

Last week us Year Sixes taught the Year 4 and 5s how to play some maths games!! Here is some of the games that we taught them: 7 Puzzle, Mathematically Possible, Shut The Box, Impossible Cubes, Maths Magic and loads and loads more!! I (Molly) played Mathematically Possible with the children! The aim of this game is to get the highest score possible! They pick a card of the top of the pile. (They can use the four operations + - x  ÷ to get the highest score they can possibly get.) On your card there will be three numbers, you can use each number ONCE. Then once you think you have got the highest number, you put your counter on top of the number on the playing board.
 Lucy and I (Lauren W) did Shut The Box and we played it with the Year 4 and 5s, it was really fun! Also they played some other amazing Maths games that we listed above! How to play: First, we told them what to do. Then they got two dice and they had to get the right number to get the blocks down. If you didn't get the right numbers, you couldn’t knock them down so you had to pass the dice around until the person knocked the last block down.

Our visit to the Mayor - by Isaac

On Wednesday, our class's School Councillor and Eco Councillor went to see the Mayor of the town with the other Eco and School councillors, as well as three teachers. We left school at lunch time and headed for the Mayors Parlour at Shrewsbury Castle, which was only about a mile away. When we arrived we met the Mayor (John Tandy) and the Lady Mayoress. He guided us around the Castle and showed us his own private parlour, which was a great privalage as it is normally only open on special occasions. Next, everyone went to the Mayors Parlour at the Guildhall, which is the main council building in our town. Here he showed us all the old Mayors photographs,some pictures dating back to the 70s. Then we went to his other Parlour and Mr Mayor (that is what we had to call him!) showed us his formal clothes. It was basically a long red coat with fur sowed into the cloth, and a long hat that looked like a beak from a bird! He also showed us his trophy cabinet, where some pieces of silver dated back to the Tudors. All the children had a great trip and enjoyed both of the Mayor's Parlours.
