This week the teams took part in a sales task. They were all given the same sweets to sale and had to come up with their own branding and advertising and had to use their selling techniques to attract customers. They worked in their teams with new project managers and had to set up a sweetie stall. Each team was given 9 tokens to spend. This task was carried out excellently with each team having their own unique selling point.
Team Titanium had a hidden golden gummy bear in one of their sweetie cups, with the person who bought it getting an extra free.
Team Evolve had personalised packaging.
Silver Arrows had free slime with each sweetie box.
Goldrn Galaxy had a pick and mix with free samples.
It was very close in the end, but the winning team was team Evolve. Their project manager Pearl did an excellent job and made her team very proud. She recieved postive feedback in the board room. Well done to all the teams!
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.
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.
