Getting down to business in year 5

In year 5 we are buzzing with excitement at starting our new topic - Biscuit Businesses. This half term we be learning how to set up and run our very own business. We will divide into teams, each team member will be responsible for running an area of the business and all the profits we make from selling our delicious biscuits will go to a charity of the team members' choice.

To start thinking like 'Dragons' we spent a day developing a product for a new sweet company. We had to make sure the product looked luxurious, the three sweets did not touch each other and that the packages were sturdy enough to survive being sent in the post! First we made a prototype of a package to keep something special in, then we refined our ideas to suit the task and thought about the materials we would need. After that, we constructed our designs.

We are all hoping the packages survive their journey in the post back to school!
