P6/7 discussed what they wanted to do for their next topic. It had to be related to Enterprise. After some discussion Gabriel had a fabulous idea of using the television programme ‘The Apprentice’ as a theme for their topic.
The class selected their own groups of 5. And picked a team name. We have 4 teams competing:
- Team Evolve
- Team Titanium
- Silver Arrow
- Golden Galaxy
Each week they will be given a task, and have to select a project manager. We will update the progress of each task through our class blog.
Task 1 – Branding
Their first task was a branding challenge. They had to take the role of a designing company and come up with packaging for a chocolate brand called ‘Blazin Raisins’. To help select the best design we sent the final designs to the other classes to vote. The team that got the most votes were Team Titanium! The feedback in the boardroom included: people liked the colours and slogan.
Task 2 – Advertising
This week the teams had to come up with an advertising campaign for the ‘No Bovver Hoverboard’ by the company ‘The Future is Here’
They selected different project managers. It was great to see them selecting people who they felt would best be suited for this particular task. They had to create a 30 second TV advert and a Billboard.
Once the teams had completed their adverts and billboards, we sat in the ‘BoardRoom’ and watched them. The class then had to vote for the one that met the criteria and they thought was effective in grabbing attention. The group with the winning Billboard was the Silver Arrows, and the team with the winning advert was team Evolve. When counting the total votes with both advert campaigns combined, the group that came out top were Team Titanium! Have a look at the billboards and the adverts.
