Over this Christmas and new year period, there is an optional activity that you can consider with your child/ren in readiness for our Invention Convention on Tuesday 16th January. Working on their own, or as a family, the children are encouraged to consider a real-life problem and then invent something that solves it. The children are encouraged to record their ideas and plans and then, if at all possible, create a model to demonstrate the invention - it is not expected that the model will work. This year, if possible, we would like the inventions to help the environment in some way with a green / eco focus.
The event on 16th January, is an opportunity for all children in the school to share their invention with the school in true Dragon's Den style! Tables will be set up around the hall for the children to showcase their models on. They should be ready to talk about their invention, why they made it and how it works.
If your child is showcasing their invention on 16th January, you are welcome to come along from 2.30pm to see the inventions.
The week after our internal Invention Convention, we will be hosting a Grand Union Partnership one here @DPS for some of the contestants from our school and the other schools in the partnership.
