Enterprise project

This month we have started an enterprise project in our class. The children have grouped themselves into friendship groups, I felt this would encourage team work more. We have been using some of the great ideas from CBBC's 'trade your way to the USA' teacher/student packs. They have really had the children thinking. Product ideas for bananas? Banana hoodies, onesies, peelable lollies, recipes of all sorts!! The children have been guided into really thinking about problem solving and ideas to improve. Our new boy, from Lithuania, has a problem understanding English - solution? Headphones that translate what people say into Lithuania !! Brilliant! As the children learn about planning their products, how to make profit and advertising etc. I will blog some if their ideas and best bits ;)
