We’ve had a great Enterprise Week in Year 6. We voted to make Hama Bead creations (which has become a bit of a Year 6 tradition!) and we’re glad we did because they were very popular indeed!

We started by thinking of names for our company (the winner was ‘Hama Time!’) and designing company logos and then voting for our favourite one. Well done to Clemence  for her winning design.

Next, it was time to practice using persuasive language to write an advert for our product. We learnt about superlatives, alliteration and rhetorical questions and then wrote ideas for catchy slogans to persuade others to buy our products. Most of us then chose to dance and say our best slogans in the class advert which was filmed and shown to the other classes in assembly.

Our advert must have been very persuasive because we had 94 orders from the other classes-it was so exciting, watching the number of orders going up live on Google Classroom!  All of  Year 6 also ordered one so we had a busy few days making our products.

We have learnt so much this week about what it’s like to set up and run a business and what it’s like to do paid work! We have also been learning more about democracy through voting for every decision throughout the process and then agreeing to the decision voted for by the majority of the class. We have also been using our  learning powers throughout the week.

After we had paid for the Hama Beads and the boards, we ended up with a profit of £99.  Year 6 have decided to donate £25  of their profit to charity. We will vote on which charity and what to buy with the rest of the money after half term. You can make suggestions in the comments if you would like to, Year 6. 

Have a lovely half term, everyone.
