Semester 2, Week 11

Last week was a lot of fun. It was exciting to see our students so involved in preparing for their Entrepreneur's Market.  They had many things to think about including; product, pricing, supply and demand, marketing and negotiating. The market was a great success financially and after paying back their loans there was a profit of SDG3700 which will go to Kids for Kids. Our students have learnt so much during this time and have developed a real understanding of the basics of business. We have to feel really proud of the maturity shown and the knowledge gained during the past few weeks. It was hard for them to be producers and marketers rather than consumers on the market day, and that was another big learning curve. This week we will finish the unit with a "win-win" situation for everyone when they will be bartering between themselves for "gently loved" items they have decided they can afford to trade. We want them to understand that sometimes this is reality but also want them to come away with new treasures.

Of course we have continued on with reading, writing and maths throughout all these activities. In 4B we have been producing plays, writing poems and learning more about data handling and dealing with money and decimals. This week we will continue in the same vein and also look at probability in maths.
