Dear pupils,
My name is Lord Alan Sugar and I have a challenge for you. You have been specially selected to take part in the creation of the new Redwell Primary uniform and badge. This must be done in 4 weeks and will end in a fashion show extravaganza in the Town Hall on Wednesday 5th June.
As part of this challenge you will have to work together cooperatively and undertake various mind-blowing tasks.
Each week I will write to you with a new task. You have until Friday to complete that week’s task.
This week’s challenge is to find out more about entrepreneurs, I suggest you watch my television show ‘The Young Apprentice’. You must also create a motivational name for your team, a team logo, briefcase and business card. Your team must be organised and prepared to present your work to the class this Friday when all groups will meet again.
Good luck entrepreneurs!
Yours sincerely,
Lord Alan Sugar
How we addressed the task –
All the children gathered at Claremont and Lord Alan Sugar ‘visited’ with this week’s task for the children. This week he asked the children to meet the other members of their Young Apprentice teams and work cooperatively to design a team logo showing the meaning of their motivational name and also create their team briefcase.
In the afternoon the children received a visitor from Business Gateway. John Paterson is a successful local businessman and we learned about entrepreneurship, the ingredients for a successful business and local success stories. We also asked lots of questions!
Next we all got together at St John’s and each of the Design teams gave a presentation, introducing each other and the team logo to everyone.
It was a great end to the first week and everyone is very excited to find out what Lord Alan has in store for next week!
