Roaring 20s and Fabulous 30s Day...

We have been time travelling during our topic lessons this half term. First we visited the Victorian Era and met lots of famous inventors.  Then we travelled to WW1 to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.  Next we visited the Roaring 20s and Fabulous 30s.

Unfortunately, war has broken out again and we are now stuck in WWII.  However, look at all the fun we had during the 1920s and 1930s...

New Topic Time!

We are starting a new topic!
We are learning about the two worst times in history: World War 1 and World War 2 in Time Travellers!

New topic time!

We have started a new topic!
Our new topic is Victorians! We have travelled back in time to learn about famous Victorians and their lives. We are reading books that are set in the Victorian era and have been to dickens world! We look forward to blogging about our new topic and all the activities in this extremely long, last term!

Micro society

In micro society we have been learning how to run our own businesses. At the start of this tremendous topic we had to apply for jobs. These jobs were banker, president, police and caretaker. Luckily I got the job and I got payed 20 Bonnies ( bonnies are our money). Sadly because Matteo didn't have a job Andre and I got fired.

I used to be in a business called Funny Faces where we made funny props for your face. Unfortunately this business went down hill so we diversified to Dancing Divas. My group didn't discuss it with me, so I left purely because I do lots of dancing on Saturday.

In groups we have made jobs and the civil servants have not got jobs that earn money so every business has to pay tax which is 35 bonnies (our Bonnestan money). For some businesses that isn't very much but for others it's  too much!

Microsociety

In 5M, we've been learning about setting up and running our own businesses. Our society is called "The Republic of Bonnestan". We have our own currency, called Bonnies. We have companies called TDIK's Massaging, Mediation and Gymnastics,  Bonkers Bingo and Signs 4 U.

In our trading sessions, we have learned how to make a ledger book, new vocabulary such as society scarcity, currency, diversify, supply, demand and civil servant and the importance of tax and tax evasion.

In  our society, we believe in love, happiness, responsibility, friendship, caring, honesty and trust.

Micro Society-by Tia

In 5M we have been doing Micro Society, in our class I'm the president and Leah is the Vice President. Being president means that you have to take care of your society and compromise with the Vice President to interview people for civil servant jobs.

Micro-society

Micro-society   is awesome I enjoy it so much. It is like we are in real businesses. When I was applying to get a job, I surprisingly got an interview but unfortunately I didn't get the job. I got a different job and that is being the councillor and that is good for me because I get to work in a business.  Our micro-society is called Bonnestan.

Micro society

Having this topic to learn about is really fun , the best part is when we have our trading sessions.          What we do is we do our jobs that we came up with and  earn money to go around and buy things from other peoples jobs, we all enjoy it and we couldn't have a better topic.

Micro Society

Right now our topic is micro-society.  Everyone is enjoying it and it's a great topic.

We will probably be posting more stuff to do with our topic so keep in touch with our blog!

Micro society

During micro society, we are learning all sorts of vocabulary words such as  scarcity,application and lots others but the main words we were looking at was inflation and recession.inflation
means when the value of something gets higher and higher and recession means when the price of something gets to high that the Value of that thing gets lower and lower.


There are lots of other words but here are some questions about what I have talked about.

What does recession mean?

What does inflation mean?

This is a question we haven't talked about what does trade mean?

Micro society

Learning micro society is so much fun  . We all split up in groups and made a business  . We made and sold prouducts with are society money .here are  the business  lottery , bookmarks/orogami , bingo , massage and artworks . We pay tax  too.

What we did in micro society

Yesterday during micro society we went and traded in Awesomainia. We were given a new currency that was counters worth ten awsomes. Some of the businesses had scarcity so inflation was involved. Some of the businesses had high supply and low demand. And some were the other way round.

 What does trade mean ? 
What does supply mean ? 
What does demand mean ?
What does inflation mean?

Micro society

In year 5 we have bean learning about micro societies and have made up our own society .
We are currently running businesses such as a massage group and a lottery group .
All of our businesses are going well but are hard to maintain because we have to pay for our supplies. (tables, instruments, pens and pencils.)

Also we pay tax which are 35bonnies .

In our lessons we learn new vocabulary (scarcity, society, currency, trade, civil servants, application, business, monopoly, competition.)

Stop! Wait! Our new topic is...

What do you think we are going to learn about?  What activities do you think we are going to complete?  What would you like to learn about?  ~What would you like to do?
