It’s all things Christmas at Portpatrick Primary as the children prepare for our village craft fayre this weekend. The boys and girls have been busy little elves making lots of decorations, crafts and sweet treats.
This enterprise project has linked lots of inter-disciplinary learning across our curriculum. Maths and Language have been appplied as we read and used instruction texts in recipes. We calculated ratios to change recipe proportions, weigh ingredients and calculate cost & profit margins. Food technology and hygienic practices have been adhered to as well. In addition, we have developed CDT (Craft, Design and Technology) and Digital Technology skills as we constructed and used spreadsheets to automatically work out cost and profit.
As if that’s not enough, our boys and girls have been developing the skills for life, learning and work through collaboration to plan products ideas, analyse the feasibility of those products, consider cost and profit margins as well as designing company logos and advertising posters. Team work has been the order of the day! We certainly have a few entrepreneurs in the making.
We are still busy putting the finishing touches to everything. We won’t reveal our final range of products just yet as we would love you to come along and see our merchandise for yourself. All profits will go to supporting our children at our lovely wee school.
We hope to see you there!
