We have been writing adverts for Birdwell businesses to accompany our local maps.  For a bit of fun, we thought we would imagine what sort of business we would like to open in Birdwell.

Well!  The children did not disappoint.  If ever you need a new name for your business, come and talk to Year 4.  they came up with absolute gems such as:

• India’s Indian (restaurant) and Reuben’s Ruby (take away)
• Tianna’s Tiaras
• Mucky Boots football academy (Perfect Rowan!)
• Daisy’s Donuts
• Caitlin’s Cuts (Hair salon-although she can’t do anything to help me apparently, I’m too old!)
• Ollie’s Ollies  (Skateboard skills centre…GENIUS!!!!)

To go along with these fledgling businesses, we wrote adverts.  Oliver even took this idea to the extreme by writing his own fictional news account at home.  Telling us how one of the creatures from Ollie’s Reptile House, escapes and gets into school.  (Although I did find the unprovoked biting of my bottom in the article to be unreasonable journalistic embellishment!!!)
