Primary 5/6 were very lucky to have a visit from a business teacher from St. Kentigern’s today – Mr. Donnelly!  The children were learning about what a business organisation is, why we need them and, with some help, were able to name some businesses they knew of in their local community.

 

The children were able to identify that a business provides goods and service’s to customers. They were able to name a few popular ones….

As the children are learning about the clothesline and Fairtrade in India as part of their new topic, this was a great opportunity for children to understand how business works in a local and global scale.

After the children were able to identify what a business organisation is and in true ‘Dragon’s Den’ style, were given the opportunity to develop their own business idea, taking into account everything they had learned. Here are some ideas….

Mr. Donnelly will be back to visit next week when the children will have developed their ideas further and able to pitch them to the ‘Dragon’.

Watch this space for some future Entrepreneurs!
