We’ve had a great Enterprise Week in Year 6.
We voted to make origami frogs (in a break from Year 6 tradition!) and we’re glad we did because they were very popular indeed!
We started by thinking of names for our company and then voting for our favourite one. The winner was Sofia M with ‘Mr Hoppy’s Flying Frogs!’ Then we had great fun, designing company logos and then voting for our favourite one. Well done to Joseph for his winning company logo design.
Next, it was time to practice using persuasive language to create adverts and advertising posters 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.. This time, Miss Siswick chose the winners. Well done to Molly and Phillyppe who wrote the most persuasive adverts which they shared in the whole school assembly and well done to Florence for her winning advertising poster.
We must have been very persuasive because we had more than 100 orders from the other classes! All of Year 6 also ordered at least one so we had a busy two days making and decorating 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!
In PSHE, we have been learning more how to earn and manage money. We also had a fascinating workshop led by volunteers from Barclays Bank about managing our money and avoiding hidden charges, debt, theft and gambling in real life and online.
We welcomed three parent visitors who taught us so much more about the world of work by telling us what it’s like to work as risk manager, a lawyer and a business owner. Many thanks to them all for giving up their time to speak to us and answer our questions; we really appreciate it.
We have 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 all of our learning powers throughout the week.
After we had paid back our 0% interest £30 business loan (which was spent on card, stickers and googly eyes) we ended up with a healthy profit of £108!
We will vote on what to buy with the money that we earned once everyone has had a chance to make suggestions.
Please let me know what you would like to spend the money on in the comments, Year 6.
Have a lovely half term, everyone!
Enterprise Week was so amazing! It was a relaxing break from lessons and it taught me many skills that I can do now!! THANKS
I loved making the flying frogs.
Thank you I really enjoyed this week because we got to origami and make card boxes.Thank you to all the teachers for this amazing week. 😛

I would like to spend it on putty for the whole class.
I think a good way to spend our profit would be to buy something and then give some of it to charity. We could spend it on newer, better wet play games or more lego , or we could get more books.
Enterprise Week was so fun! I wish we could do it all over again.
I think we should buy better writing pens,probably a lava lamp and the game hues and clues.
I think that i would like to spend the £108 on the game hues and cues or some new Roald Dahl books. Our last enterprise week was amazing and l can’t wait to see what we end up buying!
I think we should give some to charity and spend the rest on something like books,wet play games or a lava lamp.
I think we should spend our profit on more props and costumes for our production and assemblies.
We can get Uno, water colours, the Guess who game and maybe chess or some magnets to play or fiddle with.
I would like to spend the money on a lava lamp for the book corner or give some to charity .We could spend some money on a certain series of books or buy some more resources like posca pens and pens that work better than the red ones and a plasma ball .and some slime
With the money that we earned this year i would like to buy an Elf , pens and a pet guinea pig along with its essentials.
We should make the squishes we originally thought about when we were choosing our product 💭 ……….. They would be very fun to mess around with
I am thinking of spending our profit on putty and lego.
I think we should buy better writing pens, a lava lamp, hues and clues and squishes and a pet guinea pig or rabbit.
I think we should spend it on better pens and a pet Guinea Pig.
We could buy a plasma ball and a larva lamp.
This was a fantastic enterprise week in year Y6.We got 105 orders but including our own frogs we had 135 orders, but Alda wanted two frogs so we actually got 136 orders.
I would like to use our money on this:
Thinking putty/Bouncing putty.
New Books.
A Guineapig since it is 10 to 60 pounds.
Enterprise Week was really fun! We could buy a Lava Lamp with our money.
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed my last Enterprise Week!!!!
I want to buy a dog(only around £1700) or rabbit(about £40) or fish (£7).
I want to buy a bunny rabbit for £60 pounds. If we can’t, then I want to buy Throw Throw Burrito, the outdoor edition, as it’s really cool.
