Homework Project - Game/Toy Inventor

For our homework project this half term, we would like you to become Toy/game inventors. What do you think it would be like working for Santa, at this time of year? We would like you to invent a new toy, game or app for a tablet/ipad. This DOESN'T have to be a real working model, rather an idea, plan or design.

First, you need to choose the AGE range you would like to create for, then the THEME of the game/toy, followed by the RULES or INSTRUCTIONS. You will also need to think about how many people are needed to play the game/toy, as well as the EQUIPMENT that is required. 

Once you have your idea, we would like you to present it in one of the following ways;

  • A prototype of the game
  • An advertising poster
  • An advertising TV advert
  • An instruction booklet with rules and pictures 
  • Or your own way of presenting - Be Creative!!
Have fun inventing !!! 

The homework project is due in on Monday 15th December!


Children in Need 2014

The theme for this year's Children in Need appeal is "Be A Hero!" As such, we would like children to dress up as one of their heroes when they come to school on Friday 14th November - this does not just have to be someone like Batman or Wonder Woman! Your child can dress as someone that is a hero to them; a policeman, a paramedic, a celebrity or a teacher (*hint*hint*). If your child is coming to school in fancy dress, we would ask you to send them with a donation of 50p to £1.

Each year group will also have their own giant cut-out Pudsey Bear to cover with loose change - and the children from the year group that collects the most loose change will receive a special certificate to put in their Record of Achievement! So dig deep, and raid those piggy-banks!

Pudsey Bear wristbands will be on sale from Monday 10th November in the KS2 Hall for £1. Miss Page will also be selling her ever-popular Pudsey Bear badges for 50p at the same time! We have lots of opportunities to raise a stellar amount of money.
