In 5th and 6th class this year we are lucky to have had Martina (mother of Antoine) deliver the BEE programme. The programme involves the teaching of entrepreneurial skills to the children with an emphasis on social and environmental responsibility. The children have really taken to it and have now formed numerous mini-businesses, each with a focus on sustainability and with good environmental ethics. The children have each chosen a charity to benefit from the profits of their businesses.
We will hold entrepreneurial afternoons on Monday
27th May, and Mondays June 10th and 17th. We would really like as many people to attend as possible, especially on the first day Monday 27th of May.
The suggestions for finalising your business plan are available here –

The Romans - March 2013
The children are busy with their Romans Projects at the moment. We are all excited to see the presentations. If anybody needs some extra help with their topic check out this website about the Romans
Our Students Led Conferences happened on the 13th of March, and everyone involved has agreed they were a great success. All children worked very hard organising their work and portfolios, and they are very proud of their accomplishments. They have now realised there are areas they excel in and they have identified some areas they need to work on more. All have set some goals for the forthcoming months…..
Well done everyone!

Everybody in 5th and 6th class recently chose a person from history to do a project on. All of the projects were of a high calibre. Some chose to do theirs in poster format (on display in the classroom) or oral presentation while others chose to do it in Powerpoint. Here is a selection of those for you to view.

The Test
Your forehead is sweating, your fingers are numb,
Search for answers in your head, and you feel dumb.
You start slacking off, forget about the test,
Preparing a speech saying you did your “best”.
You put your pencil on paper, it suddenly breaks,
Soon after you notice, lots of silly mistakes!
You start erasing so hard, you tear the page,
Then you get the feeling, of brain-piercing rage.
You stare at the test, with agony in your eyes,
Thinking what to tell the teacher, all sorts of lies.
Before you can think, the teacher calls out,
“Two minutes left, no messing about!”
“That’s it,” you realize, you have failed for good,
You glance at the corner where the teacher stood.
When the teacher announces the test is over,
You wish for the appearance, of a four-leaved clover.
He tells you you’ve failed, you just start to scream!
But to your delight, it was only a dream…
