Enterprise Event
Inspired by the Scientist, Jane Goodall, the children are planning, organising and running their own Enterprise Events to raise money to adopt a chimpanzee.
There are posters available for children to advertise their event and we will arrange dates during the term for children to run them.
Thank you to every who is supporting this event, the children are very excited about it..
We have also sent our Letters to the Jane Goodall Institute, sharing our learning and explaining how we would like to help. Hopefully, we will get a reply.
Indoor P.E. Circuits
Thank you to some of the Y6's who set up and explained circuits to our class. The children really enjoyed it and it is a great way to keep fit.
Today, we have been learning about Jane Goodall as part of our Science topic 'Living things'. She is a primatologist and has spent her life studying and protecting chimpanzees. We have written her a letter about what we have learnt and these will be sent to her.
As a class, we would like to raise some money to adopt a chimpanzee from the Born Free Foundation. The children are going to come up with their own enterprise idea to raise the money.
