For the summer fayre this year we sold fruit kebabs and bee’s wax wraps. We researched ideas for our kebabs and chose a mixture of delicious fruit to use.  We chopped and washed the fruit before putting the pieces onto skewers.

We watched tutorials and read information about bee’s wraps; an eco alternative to cling film. We learnt how to make and care for them. We looked for materials online and when they arrived we made some together in the iclassroom. We made information cards and tied string around each wrap.

Some of us helped sell the kebabs and wraps on our stall at the fayre on Saturday! We sold out quickly and made a profit from our £25 starting budget! 😊 Another very successful enterprise project!

During careers week we were visited by a number of interesting people. They told us about their jobs and the journey that took them to where they are now. Our guests included a mechanic, health visitor, sports coach, scientist, Starbucks manager, legal researcher, PT, physio, florist, visual impairment and speech therapist.

We asked a number of questions to find out more about each person and their career. We now know so much more about the skills and training required to do certain jobs. An important message we received from many of our guests was… ‘do something you enjoy and really care about’. In the future, we may spend much of our life working so it is important to find jobs that will develop our skills and make us happy.

Some of us are now interested in doing jobs we learnt about during careers week!
