Last week and today, Year 4S have been involved in a primary program called ‘Our Nation’.
The children were visited by a very successful business woman called Sarah, who talked to us about real business and what she does for a living.
The children took on several tasks and discussed many areas of a business.
The children started off by discussing the ‘Business Pie’ thinking about : communication, location, supply chain, responsibilities and people. The children then moved on to discuss ‘Our Nation’ and the kind of area that we live in and what local business we see.
The children then looked at customers and where they can buy items and how to make a produce appeal to them.
The class then moved on to looking at the roles and responsibilities within a business and how to make one work.
The final task the children had, was to design an apple juice carton (the children will make the cartons next week, once their designs are finished). The children had to think about some difficult business questions, such as:
- What will make your carton successful?
- What do you need to communicate?
- Who is your customer?
- What will appeal to them?
Well done to all of Y4S, you worked so well and I can see some of you becoming really successful business men and women in the future.
