Enterprise Day - Year 5 and Year 6

Today was Enterprise Day and we were given the exciting challenge of creating and designing a sensory room based on the four seasons.

Our first task was to come up with a team logo and a team mascot that would represent our group. After that, we each took on different job roles for the enterprise challenge, including team leader, creative designer, finance manager and presentation leader. Everyone had an important responsibility, which helped our teams stay organised and focused.

We were given a budget of 100 Ambicoins to spend on our “Zen Den,” which was our seasonal sensory room. From the shop we could choose from a variety of items such as fidget toys, a water effect projector, soft building blocks, black fibre optic carpet, an infinity tunnel, a snow panel, tactile boards and many more. We had to think carefully about how to spend our Ambicoins so that our space would feel calm, creative and full of sensory magic. Our Zen Den also had to represent and excite all four seasons.

Before dinner, we split into classrooms to draw our designs and start putting our ideas into action. Within each team, we each took responsibility for one of the seasons —spring, summer, autumn, or winter — and designed parts of the sensory room based on that season.

Most of the children worked really well as a team and supported each other throughout the challenge. However, for some of us it also tested our ability to compromise, as we had to listen to different ideas and agree on the best choices together.
​
Finally, we presented our Zen Dens to three judges, Marie, Andrew and Miss Kane who decided which teams would go through to the finals. They had such a  difficult decision to make as everyone had tried so hard! We now have three groups that are through to the finals and are really excited to see if our school could be chosen to have one of these ideas built in our very own school.

We had a great day and developed our teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills, making it a fun and memorable experience for everyone involved. Well done Year 5 and Year 6!
