Enterprise Day

Recently Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 had their annual Enterprise Day! Enterprise day is the first step towards preparing for the Winter Fayre! This is an exciting event in our school calendar and will take place on Friday 11th December, 4.30-6.30pm - add the date to your diary!

The aims of the day for the teams were to devise a game or product, produce a presentation, showcasing why their idea was best, a fully costed budget for the product and a prototype with instructions on how to make it and the materials needed. The Winter Fayre is a big event and marketing their stalls is key, so they also had to plan their promotion and create an advert. 

Year 7 will be running game stalls and the final 5 to get through to the final presentations in the hall were Guess what's in the box, Spin the Wheel, Bowl the Snow, Fruity Christmas Tree and Sprout Roulette and the winners were 7H with their Spin the Wheel game! 

Year 8 stalls will offer winter gifts, gift wrap, cards and more. In the morning design session, teams came up with pop-out Xmas cards, gift topppers, personalised decorations and baubles. The final four were personalised pencil cases, snow globe baubles, crochet animals and seachains and the winners were announced as 8S with their themed keychains!

Year 9 will be selling Christmas decorations and they had the morning to get creative and crafty and design their products. Their ideas included polaroid photo frames, wooden coasters, cork reindeers and jingle jars! The four finalists were mini Xmas wreaths, stockings 'n' stuff, pompom crafts and cork reindeers. After being treated to some team's creative promotional TikToks, the winners were declared as 9H with their stockings! 

Year 10's stalls will be selling sweet treats at the Winter Fayre! It was all go in the Food Tech room with students decorating their prototype treats from cinnamon cupcakes to mini hot choc cups. The four tasty treats that made it through to the final were Snowmies brownies, Evergreen brownies, Winkle Minkle's Melting Snowmen and brownie bites! And the winners were 10R with their brownie bites! 

Fantastic to see such enthusiasm for what will be a brilliant fundraising evening in December. And well done to everyone for embracing Enterprise Day with your creative and industrious efforts!
