Hello Year 5’s! I hope you are all well and had a lovely half term. We are now entering Summer 2, our final term of the academic year! As usual, we would normally start off the term with a project week. And yes, the project week (as you have probably guessed from the big title above) is ‘Entrepreneur Week’.
Some of you may be looking at the title and thinking ‘whattttt? An Entrepreneur?! This is going to be tough! What does that mean?! But do not worry! I want you to show a growth mindset and resilience, as a positive and open minded approach to the project week will benefit you massively in your progress and understanding.
A note of caution: In order to complete this project week successfully, you will need to make sure you are completing every daily task in order. If you miss a task, this will hinder the overall outcome and you will fall behind. If you fall behind, it is your responsibility to catch up and complete the work from the previous day(s)!
The Theme of the Week:
Year 5, your goal by the end of the week is to design, create and test a garden game, which should be playable according to social distancing rules.
This project week will be broken down into various categories over the course of the week, which are listed below. These are the questions you will be answering with each task you complete.
- Tuesday: ‘Think it’ – Start to think and gather ideas of an Entrepreneur in your head, what they do? How they think? and getting into an Entrepreneur’s mindset. Also, start to think about ideas about ‘what makes a good garden game?’
- Tuesday: ‘Research it’ – Researching about different garden games and getting an idea of the ‘games market’ – what is a popular garden game? What is social distancing?
- Wednesday: ‘Research it’ – Gathering market research and opinions on the different games and using your information to produce statistics (i.e. graphs)
- Wednesday: ‘Plan it’ – Begin to use your research and data to plan your own game with your own resources that are around you. How will you create a successful game that follows social distancing rules?
- Thursday: ‘Make it’ – You will create and make your game and perfect your design if there are any errors or changes that need to be made.
- Thursday ‘Play it’ – You will play your game!
- Friday: ‘Pitch it’ – You will pitch (present) your new game design to the Year 5 teachers, in the TV programme, ‘Dragons Den’ style, which you will find out more about on the day!
Happy Entrepreneur-ing! As a team, we are looking forward to seeing your amazing designs and ideas! The values we will be focusing on are: Creativity, Imagination and Perseverance!
