The children at Kilmartin Primary School recently helped raise money for the Blytheswood Trust by taking their £20 Enterprise challenge. The Trust gave the P.5-7 class £20 and challenged them to turn that into a profit.
The children thought of many interesting ideas but finally decided to bake and sell flapjacks to the other children in school. They had to use their maths skills to find out how much it would cost to make the flapjacks and then calculate what price they could sell them for to ensure a good profit.

The day before the sale the children set to in the school kitchen and had a great time making baking. Some children had so much fun that they decided to make more cakes for the sale at home.

The day of the big cake sale arrived and the children were split into teams to work together to prepare the class. The cake stall looked yummy and when everything was ready the rest of the school joined in and soon everybody was tucking into cakes and juice.

Altogether, the children made £80.89 for the Blytheswood Trust and they were all delighted with this fantastic result!
