Today P3/4W and P4N hosted a Christmas fair for their friends and family.  Over the last few weeks the children have been working for Buddy the Elf from the North Pole.  He has been sending the children letters and task cards with different challenges to complete.

The children all had to apply for a different job involved in the running of the business and were put into teams.  The created the name “Elves Forever” as their company name.  The children made a variety of crafts which they sold to their parents today at the fair.

The finance managers had to work out how much to sell each item for to ensure a profit was made.  The sales managers had to use their power of persuasion to encourage the customers to spend their money buying the crafts and playing the games the children had made.  The marketing directors made posters and invitations to advertise the fair and the managing directors made sure everyone in the team was getting along nicely and working hard.  The production managers had to make some extra things for the fair like reindeer dust and games.

Here are some comments from friends and family who attended our fair today:

“Smiles, team work and beautiful crafts for sale.”

“Lots of budding apprentices.  Great to see!”

“5* Excellent Christmas Fair organised by the children and their teachers.  Thank you for all your hard work.”

“I loved all the important jobs everyone had and the skills they developed in their roles.”

The pupils all feel really proud of their hard work and are now busy counting the money from today to work out how much profit they have made!  Thanks to everyone who came and supported the children’s learning!
