This morning, we received a letter from Mrs Wallace which told us that this week is enterprise week! Mrs Wallace has kindly invested a starter budget of £100 for Year 4 to design, make and sell an Easter themed product.
After receiving this fanatastic opportunity we decided to brain storm ideas as business partners and carry out some market research to decide which product would be the most popular. We even looked at strengths and weaknesses of Easter toys that are already on sale.
The four popular product ideas were then put forward in a Dragon’s Den activity where the rest of the class asked a range of questions about their ideas. We asked questions about the quantity, profit, materials and design. We decided to invest in Poppy’s product idea which was a Pom Pom chick. It was agreed that this would be most profitable!
Once we had our product idea, we talked about roles in 4H’s company! We all voted on a company name and the majority of us chose ‘Easter Egg-cellent-ay!’.
With Mrs Sproule, we designed banners, logos and bunting for market day on Friday.
We can’t wait to start designing and creating our product.
Miss Hulse & 4H
