Read MoreYear 6 Enterprise
Published 19/12/23This year, we have embarked on an enterprise journey. Groups in each class formed businesses that needed to plan and pitch products that would be sold at our Christmas Market (December 19th). Here are the steps we have taken:
- Each business had to create a product, estimate how much it would cost to create and how much they would need to sell to make a profit. They had to consider their market (primary school children and parents) and whether or not they believed their product would be popular.
- The businesses presented their pitches to the William Byrd Dragons, who asked questions about finances, marketing and potential profit.
- The Dragons gave each business a budget and approved or adapted their product idea. The businesses then needed to come up with a supply order within budget and figure out how they could make the products en masse.
- The children then got to work with marketing. They created posters and advertisement speeches and went around the school to present the Christmas Market and their own personal product.
- The businesses then took the time to make and package their products.
- Each business had a stall at the Christmas Market!
Any profit will be used towards Year 6 activities, voted on by the pupils
