Business Day

Year 6 Business Day was a roaring success!

In the weeks following SAT's  pupils in year 6 formed themselves into companies to either sell a product or provide a service on Business Day.  Each company had 3 - 5 children in them. Once they had decided what they were going to sell or do they did some market research to find what out peoples favourite icecream flavours, milkshakes etc were. 

Mrs Bradford gave each group £10 to spend on stock and when the day was over it had to be returned, along with £2 float. The groups sold items like slushies, milkshakes, popcorn, jewellery and much more. Each group then added up their total profit,chose a charity to donate it to and sent it off. The grand total for all the groups together was a whopping £553.29!

"Bands,Bracelets and More" earned a profit of £107.42!  They made hundreds of bracelets made out of rubber bands weeks before Business Day.

Lewis and Kieran washed bikes and scooters.
