Y3 Easter home learning

Wow can you believe that it is the end of the Spring term! We have learnt about Shackleton's adventure to Antarctica, all about the Canadian Rockies, equivalent fractions, perimeter and much much more!

Below are the details of the home learning that was sent home on Thursday. We hope you have a lovely break.

Home Learning Year 3 Easter holidays.

The Young Enterprise “Fiver Challenge”

“-a fun way of introducing financial literacy, resilience and teamwork to primary school pupils”

The Challenge:

Over the Easter holidays please work with your child to plan a mini business. They need to think about a product they could create or a service they can sell or deliver at a profit and engage with the school community (parents dropping off and picking up their children).

How it works:

1. You use the Easter holiday to plan your ideas to present to your team in class.
2. On the first day back (Tuesday 23rd April) the children can present their ideas to the class. We will then decide which ones we are going to implement and group the children.
3. We will then send home what group your child is in and what they will be doing in their challenge. We do encourage you at this point to talk as a group of children and parents.
4. We give you a “Fiver”.
5. Your team uses this start-up capital to get their enterprise off the ground. You have two weeks to prepare, resource and make the items you will sell.
6. During the week beginning 13th May for two weeks, after school, you need to try and make as much profit as possible, whilst also aiming to engage the school community (parents dropping off and picking up their children). Parents are encouraged to support their children in the group but the children should lead the challenge.
7. At the end of the half term, the original “fiver” is paid back. Any profits can be spent on an activity at school (chosen by the children in the Summer term).

In the past there have been some fantastic challenges and lots of money made. We only give the children £5, however there may be items they can resource for free from contacts you have or even homemade items.

*Costume alert* So that you have plenty of warning we are letting you know that at the end of Summer 1 we will be dressing up as Romans and in Summer 2 the Celts.
