 Ignition Day - Enterprise -Term 3 2013 Concept at St Mary's

In the middle block of Tuesday, the first day back at school in term 3, St Mary's had an ignition event for our term 3 concept of Enterprise. The children experienced a variety of activities that challenged their thinking and got them reflecting about what enterprise is, and what it means to be enterprising.
 We started off proceedings in the hall by dividing into our houses and listening to the introductions given on the big screen.

 Mrs Tootill and Mr Bach challenged the children to come up with a unique structure using lego building blocks.

 The children really got into the activity, some building original items and others copying famous constructions from world architecture.
The children earned a letter from each activity and had to put the different letters together at the end from all of the activities to spell 'Enterprise'.
