Hello we have a new member called Jack. I am very funny and 8 years old.
We have been practising how to skip for the skipping festival at Burnside. We learnt of different skills like the cross over, the butterfly, double bounce and face to face.
On Friday it was very muddy, however we were allowed to go on the field and search for some different animal's habitats. We found lots of habitats like water,woodland,sky and underground.
We went on Google Earth and we found our houses. We also looked at where we wanted to go.

On Tuesday 29th May key stage one visited Whitehouse farm as part of their topic 'On the farm'.
While at the farm we went to feed the animals, the lambs were very greedy! We held a rabbit, snake, rat, mice and even a cockroach! We had a very bumpy tractor ride around the farm where we saw cows and sheep, one of the sheep followed us and stuck its tongue out at us!
We learnt lots of interesting facts at the farm. Did you know that male goats wear aftershave to attract girls?! That deer loose their antlers every year and llamas spit when they are scared!

Here we are on Day 4. All of the children have been actively engaged in their projects and some excellent products are being created. Team Leaders have generally been very supportive of their team and have also ensured that things are getting done.
The nitty gritty of budgets and profit margins has also been discussed along with possible advertising campaigns. It is full steam ahead at the moment for all teams. Alan Sugar would be extremely impressed!

Tuesday and Wednesday have been very productive days for all of our teams. Products are beginning to emerge and groups are seriously thinking about budgets and pricing to ensure we make a profit. Team leaders are working well with their teams, holding team meetings where necessary to improve or change products. Good progress so far! I hope all parents have got their purses and wallets ready to purchase some really high quality merchandise.
