Tig Tags sale day

Leave a comment

Well what a brilliant day we had! On Thursday the 8th of December Tig Tag had a big sale day and we sold ALL of our Christmas gift tags that we made!

We were very busy in the morning trying to set up our stall so that it looked nice.

We sold a lot within the first 15 minutes and thought we weren’t going to have enough at one point but thankfully we had just the right amount! We made roughly 350 gift tags however some of the gift tags had 3 tied together so we think we actually made between 400-500 gift tags in total which showed how hard we worked over the last few weeks! (We thought some of the tags were too small or too thin to go by itself so we put ones together to make quality gift tags) We put 6 gift tags in a penny mix bag – this way you could see how good they were without having to open the packet. We should make a special mention to R.S. Hendersons for donating the penny mix bags for us to use. We made labels with our logo on them to put on the front of the bag so that people could see that we made them.

We had 57 packets to sell – 3 of these were hanging on a lovely tree.

We decorated an old branch from a tree so that we could display our lovely gift tags. We painted it with glue then sprinkled glitter all over it, it looked so good that people offered to buy it and we sold it at the end for £20!!

1 packet of 6 gift tags cost £1. Everyone took a turn of selling the gift tags and did a great job. We were very polite and worked well as a team.

When we took our float out and paid our expenses then we were left with an amazing £86.52 profit!

Primary 3 and 4 were able to put what they were learning in Numeracy about money to good use when counting and double counting their money.

We decided as a group that we would like to donate the money we raised to Cancer Research.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone that came to support us on the day, bought gift tags/the tree and gave a donation. Your support is greatly appreciated!! We would also like to thank primary 5-7 for their help towards the end.

Again, from everyone involved with Tig Tag we would like to say THANK YOU!

Cullivoe Owls Enterprise 2016

Leave a comment

This year for the Cullivoe School Enterprise Primary  5-7 split into two groups, I am part of the Cullivoe Owls, one of the two groups, for our logo we had an owl with a line of cards that says Cullivoe Owls.

It was my design, we all made a few logo’s each and then we did a vote me and Sabienne were picked so we had another mini vote and I won.  The reason the logo has a line of cards is because we are making plaited coloured twine with glittery pegs so you can hang Christmas cards on them.

The sale day is on the 8th of December at 9:30 to 11:00 at Cullivoe School, we hope you can come along and buy one!

Da Elves and Da Lantern Makkers

Leave a comment

 

Primary 5-7 have split into two groups and created Enterprise teams for their topic this term.
Here is Ruby Lawson to tell you all about her Enterprise team!

My Enterprise is called Da Elves and Da Lantern Makkers. We have been making lanterns out of tins and jars. Here is a picture of some of our finished products.

img_5026The first thing we had to do was come up with a name and a logo. We decided a team vote was the fairest way to do it. In the end we went with Beth’s logo:

To make our products we have had to fill old tins with water and put them in the freezer overnight. Having the ice made the tins easier to hammer holes into. This makes the light shine through the tins. For the jars we covered in Epsom salts for a snowy effect and then put twine and decorations on the top. Here are some pictures of us during our production:

Come along to our Enterprise Sale on Thursday 8th December 2016 from 9:30 – 11.00! They make the perfect Christmas present!

P1-4 Enterprise

Leave a comment

Primary 1-4 have created their own enterprise business and want to tell you about it.

First of all we looked at what enterprise was, what a business was and thought about businesses that we know of.

We then had to think of what we wanted to do for our enterprise project/our own business. We all thought of different ideas and took a vote. We decided to make gift tags. Once we decided what we were making we had to think of a name for our business. We all thought of a good name and wrote these on the board. Once we shared all our ideas we took a vote on which one we thought would be the best name for our business. Our winning name was Tig Tag.

After this we  looked at logos and how people can identify companies just from their logo – Miss Nicholson created a quiz for us with well known logos. It was great fun and we did really well at identifying them. Then it was our turn to create our own logo for Tig Tag. We all drew our ideas on a paper and had a vote using pom poms.

Monica’s design won.

This week we began making our gift tags, we had different jobs to do. P1 were stamping out little Christmas designs for us to stick onto our gift tags, P2/3 were drawing Christmas tags – we have stars, baubles, Christmas trees, scalloped edged tags and regular rectangle tags. P3/4 were cutting these out. Next week we hope to begin decorating these tags.
