Micro Tyco From My Point Of View

Our School did Micro Tyco. In my point of view Micro Tyco is a hard working business challenge that tests your skills and talents that you thought you never had. You have £1.00 to start off with at the start of the four weeks. You can sell whatever you want as long as it is legal. My team had two sales. The first sale we had was on the first week and the forth week and it was on the last day as well so it was a bit crazy around the stalls. Me and Mia were writing names on raffle tickets like there was no tomorrow. Finally the mad rush hour came to a holt and Mia and I finally got a break. I like Micro Tyco and I hope we do it in 2015. The final total raised by both teams was £299.58 .

Micro Tyco – last day

The children had to work very hard today. They set up their stalls thinking about how to best display their goods to attract customers; they had a lot of different goods so had to think carefully about this. They took it in turns to serve customers and sell raffle tickets so everyone got a chance to practise taking money and giving change. They had to keep the stalls topped up and keep them looking attractive all day. They had a lot of customers when they first opened and then others who came in during the day. When the sale ended the children had to count their money carefully and share the raffle takings equally between both teams. This took a while so the older ones drew the raffle during after school club. Selling-Sensation and Mount Rainbow have to make sure they have paid all their costs before they can work out their exact profit and see which team made the most. I think they have all learned how hard you have to work to run a successful enterprise and how many things you have to consider.

Post Card to Each Other

On Thursday, with Miss Colclough, we did postcards to each other. Nobody wrote to me but I wrote to Sofia. I said about when I went to Honor’s house and had a sleepover. It was on the tricle treeting night. We were eating sweeties that we got from the different houses. We eventually eat all of the sweeties. I got to sleep but Honor was still plaing on her iPod. We woke up the next day and we played a game outside because it was a lovely day. We played the hole day until I had to go home.

Learning How to Wash our Hands

Yesterday we learned to wash our hands properly.If you don’t wash your hands the bad germs can make you ill. If you have been coughing or sneezing you should wash your hands because if you put your fingers in your mouth they will transfer to your body or if you touch your food with dirty hands then eat it the germs will transfer into your stomach. Emer, Mia,Melissa and Kerry did a song which they taught me. It tells you how to wash your hands. We also thought about reasons how to defend ourselves eating fruit because it gives you vitamins. When you are going to sneeze or cough you should get a tissue and throw the tissue in the bin or sneeze or cough into your hands and then wash them.
