Enterprise Week in Year 5 – making stress balls!

It’s been a very busy couple of days making stress balls for Enterprise week (it’s ironic that we should need stress balls of our own to help cope with the mess and the tight deadline!). We had a lot of orders, 154 orders to be precise, and incredibly we managed to make exactly…155!! (incredible coincidence considering we weren’t counting in the end, just churning them out!) The children worked extremely hard to make so many and honestly, I didn’t think we meet the order in time but I’m delighted to be wrong! We had to make playdough with flour, salt, vegetable oil and warm water before stuffing the playdough into balloons. Ones that were too stuffed split, and ones that weren’t filled enough were too wrinkly so there were many attempts that didn’t make it off the production line. Once the balloons were filled, we made hair and drew a face. Hopefully our customers won’t be disappointed with the outcome!! We apologise in advance if any of our customers don’t receive the colour they hope for…
