We worked in Mantle groups to come up with ideas for selling items on a stall at a Victorian Fayre, with a focus on eco-friendly products and an awareness of carbon footprints! We tried to make sure that our products were locally sourced and that we used recycled materials where possible. We had to try and make a profit! We calculated the cost of rent, wages, materials and advertising amongst other things and then took these costs away from our total of items that would need to be sold to see whether we had made a profit or loss!
Materials!
We have been investigating materials in science this week with Mr Clarke!

Assessment time and a new arrival!
The children in Aderyn Du have been working hard this week completing assessments! Well done everyone for doing their very best.
Luckily we have also been able to enjoy the arrival of Wellington to our class, a friend for Spike. They are getting on very well now, despite Spike being a little scared of Wellington at first!
