Our class have been busy with an exciting enterprise project this term.\u00a0 We worked together in small groups to share with you what we have been up to.<\/p>\n

The planning and how we started <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We had to start off our Poppy Enterprise with the planning. The first step was finding the best resources which we did\u00a0 in Maths. Once we had found the materials, Mrs. Smith chose what she thought were the best options. We made posters to go around the school and we made one for the shop. We had to decide how much they would cost, home made poppies would cost \u00a33 as a minimum donation but people could give extra if they wanted and paper poppies would cost 50p each. Then we had to think about when to sell the paper poppies. We ended up deciding on Wednesday the 5th<\/sup> and Friday the 7th<\/sup> and we would go around all of the classes on those days with the paper poppies. The posters needed to have what Poppy Scotland is and why we gave all of the donations to that charity. We loved doing the poppies!<\/p>\n

Making The Poppies<\/u><\/p>\n

To make the poppies we first had to find the right scissors. There were a couple of special material scissors that were perfect for cutting. We got chalk and drew around the template very carefully. Then we started cutting it out. We had 4 different templates, one for the big circle, one for the medium circle, one for the small circle and one for the leaf.<\/p>\n

We assembled the cut out felt and made sure the chalk was on the back\u00a0 of the felt pieces, so it didn\u2019t show. Then it was time to sew it together so we went and got a button and threaded the thread through the hole in the needle.<\/p>\n

Next, we tied a knot in the thread so it didn\u2019t all pull through. It was hard for a lot of people to tie the knot but we managed fine. Eventually we sewed the button onto the poppy and it all got held together.<\/p>\n

Finally, we glued on the badge with a hot glue gun so we had to be extra careful and then it was finished!<\/p>\n

The Selling Process<\/u><\/p>\n

Firstly, we put the posters around the school and one to the shop. \u00a0Everyone got a chance to go round the classes and sell the paper poppies. \u00a0We made order forms for parents and staff, that they filled out if they wanted a poppy. We had a minimum donation of \u00a33 and a maximum amount of 3 poppies. We ended up making over \u00a3350!<\/p>\n

The Kirkyard<\/span><\/p>\n

On Remembrance Day, Tuesday 11th November, we went up the road to the kirkyard to lay our wreaths down at the monuments for WW1 & WW2. We laid them with the other P6s too. Martin, the man who was leading the service at the front, thanked us for coming and told us a bit about World War I. A woman read us the very famous poem, \u201cIn Flanders Field\u201d. She read it well. Another man played a war song on\u00a0 a cornet.\u00a0 This would normally be played on a bugle. it was a good, loud song.<\/p>\n

After he played half way through the song, we had the 2-minute silence. We thought about all the people who had fallen in the war. After the two minutes, he finished his bugle song.<\/p>\n

Reflecting<\/u><\/p>\n

When making the poppies, we thought it was really fun. There were people drawing chalk circles and leaves on the felt, people cutting them out, people sewing on buttons and people gluing the pins on. We didn\u2019t quite have enough felt so we bought more, but it ended up that it was too much!<\/p>\n

In the end , we\u2019d say it went well. We raised \u00a3360.45 in total for Poppy Scotland! Something we should have invested in\u00a0 more, was felt scissors, seeing as we only had two that worked. We also bought a bit too many hot glue sticks, pins, buttons and needles but otherwise we thought it was good.<\/p>\n
