Welcome to the Year 5 Newsletter
Dear Parents,
Our Enterprise unit is now in full swing! The children have been very busy creating logos and slogans, fine tuning their budgets and beginning the actual production of their items. Thank you everyone again for your on going support and help with purchasing everything that the children have needed. We are looking forward to seeing some of you at the business panel meetings next week. The panels are now full and the children are looking forward to presenting and pitching their companies to those of you who have generously volunteered your time.
Kind regards,
The Year 5 Team

The children have also been busy designing advertising posters to place around the school as well as writing letters to Mr Brewster explaining to him why they believe their products will be such a huge success at market day.
We look forward to seeing some of you at the year 5 Market Day on Monday the 22nd of May from 11:00-12:30. Kindly note that the children will be expected to run the stalls themselves but If you are able to assist by taking photos then please let your class teacher know. Thank you!
