Good Luck!
 
Maths...
Can you spend £1 000 000? Start with a million then buy a car, a house, a holiday, some clothes etc. Keep evidence of all that you buy, e.g. the house details from the estate agent, newspaper or website. Can you spend every last penny of your £1 000 000?!
List the learning muscles you have used for this challenge.
 
Spanish...
Make a page for a Spanish picture dictionary. Choose a subject area e.g. the kitchen. Draw a detailed picture or use computer picures, clip art or another great idea, make it A3 sized so we can put them all together in a book. Label all of the items in spanish. You will need to use an English to Spanish Dictionary. Try to think or a really interesting subject area. If you have fun you could make another one!
Which BLP dispositions did you need to use?
 
French...
Make a page for a French picture dictionary. Just like the challenge above.
 
Science...
Be a resourceful fact finder. Gather ten interesting facts about bees, magnets, rock and soils, light and shadows, the solar system or plants. You have to gather these facts from as many different sources as possible e.g. books, the internet, magazines etc. You will get credit for your facts but even more credits for your capitalising as this shows you are a resouceful learner!
 
Literacy and Geography...
Make a guide for a family. A family of four, mum, dad, a nine year old girl and a thirteen year old boy, are moving to another country. You have to make a booklet for them that contains information to help them settle in and survive for the first couple of months. They may need to know about the climate, currency or language but you are sure to have lots of better ideas. Make your booklet by hand or use a computer program, it's up to you. As an extra challenge.....could you turn your booklet into a powerpoint presentation?!
If you stretched a learning muscle for this challenge make sure you add a note to your booklet or presentation.
