The\nclasses provoke thoughts and encourages children to consider a world of\npossibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This term continues with the same aspirations.\nWe aim to transform are young learners into entrepreneurs. Each key stage will\nbe set a challenge that zones in and promotes a quality that an entrepreneur\nrequires in order to reach their goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Stage 1<\/strong> (Year 1 and Year 2) children do not only have\nto \u2018think outside the box\u2019, they have to \u2018think about the box\u2019. In groups pupils\nwill have to heighten their <strong>creativity skills<\/strong> in order to\ntransform an ordinary shoe box into something extraordinary. In doing so, we are\nasking children to be innovative, imaginative and resourceful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lower Key Stage 2<\/strong> (Year 3 and Year 4) pupils must\namplify their ability to <strong>innovate<\/strong>. They must conduct research on\nexisting and traditional board games and then consider how to enhance these\ngames, so they are ready for the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century market. While\ndesigning their new game, pupils must consider the cost in acquiring the\nmaterials needed for manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upper Key Stage 2<\/strong> (Year 5 and Year 6) students will\nhave to take a moment to reflect on their interests and passions. In groups,\nour young entrepreneurs will have to follow their hearts and minds while trying\nto form their <strong>business<\/strong>. Pupils will be supported through the\nmentorship and guidance of volunteer parents who are or have been\nentrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The project will be given greater depth, when\nskills from other subjects will have to be used, such as mathematics (buying\nraw materials), English (persuasive language, presentations and explanations)\nand art and design (production and assembling). Near the end of term 2, we aim\nto showcase what the young entrepreneurs have learned, organised and produced\nduring the course of the unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We thank you in advance for your support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best wishes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Peter Hay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Educational Leader &amp;  Head of British Studies <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dallingtonschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Entrepreneur-CTS-and-GAP-Blog-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10025\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dallingtonschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20200116-WA0004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10054\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dallingtonschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-20200116-WA0003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10052\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since my time at Dallington School, I have always viewed the lessons of Communication and Thinking Skills and Global Awareness as a vital component in helping pupils meet the school vision.
