P5b Enter the Dragons’ Den

4 Comments

This week we completed our class talks where we had to argue the case for the Victorian invention we considered to be the most important. We rounded off this part of our context for learning with a Home Team Challenge. Working as a team, we had to design an invention, advertise our product and present a pitch to the Dragons’ Den.

We came up with some very interesting ideas:

The Marvellous Messis invented 'The Scavenger', a drone-like device which nature lovers can use to obseve wildlife.

The Marvellous Messis were the overall winners of the challenge, gaining the highest score with their excellent team work.

The Brilliant Brains were the winners of the Best Invention, receiving the largest investment from the Dragons for their Baby Care product.

The Demolishing Stars won the award for Best Business Brains by successfully predicting the success level of each invention and making sensible investments.

Wouldn’t it be great if a pupil, 100 years from now, presents a class talk on one of these wonderful inventions?!
