Topic Blurb

Summer 2

This half term, our pupils are stepping into the exciting world of business as young entrepreneurs! As part of our new topic, children will be researching, designing, and launching their own business enterprises. They’ll carry out market research, generate creative product ideas, and use the Design and Technology cycle—Research, Design, Make, Evaluate—to bring their products to life. Along the way, they’ll test, refine, and improve their creations to ensure they’re ready to sell at our upcoming school fair. With a strong focus on real-world maths, pupils will apply their statistics skills to record and analyse data using bar charts and pictograms. This data will help them prepare persuasive pitches for our very own Dragon’s Den-style presentations, where they will aim to win support for their ideas. It’s going to be an exciting, hands-on journey into innovation, problem-solving, and teamwork—and we can’t wait to see what they create!
