Years five and six had the honour of learning from Askern & Hatfieldâs Brass Band and listening to their pleasant colliery tunes this afternoon. Between the songs, the musicians gave an insight into the origin of brass bands in the UK as well as talking about the impact being in a brass band has had on their own lives, from performing in prestigious, world-renowned venues to making lifelong friends and even supporting their mental health. Thank you very much to the group for coming to our school to share their music and their stories with us!
Nortonâs own theme park opening soon!
This morning, year six gathered themselves into groups to begin drafting business proposals for a new theme park in Norton. With ÂŁ5 million to spare, the class started to budget their theme park and create a map of their park, including thrill-seeking rides, childrenâs rides and water flumes galore. Their understanding of the four operations were definitely put to the test as they checked their balance sheet to ensure they could afford their new ventures. Good luck, entrepreneurs! 👍🏼
