Cluster Event Celebrates Burns Day in Style! January 27, 2008
Posted by smacniven in : P7, visits , 28comments
What a day. On Thursday 24th all P7 pupils (100) travelled to The Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh where they met with all the P7 pupils in the North Berwick Cluster for a very dynamic and sociable enterprise event. The pupils were put into groups, assisted by S3 pupils from the High School (who did a great job), they had to work as a team and come up with a company name and a logo. Then they were challenged to make various products with a Scottish theme in honour of Burns day.
There was a definite competitive element as the company who made the most profit and the one who produced the best quality product won prizes. Everyone had a specific role in the company such as finance manager, buyer, seller, designer etc. Materials had to to be bought , products planned, designed and produced then sold…for a profit. Money was deposited in a bank and all within strict time limits within a real life setting.
Needless to say it was a resounding success and the pupils impressed everyone with their business like approach to the challenge and the high standard of products produced. Well done to you all!
P7 will explain in more detail below.

- Researching Space Exploration and creating a timeline of key events.
- Discussing and debating big issues using concept cartoons.
- They also worked in groups to complete a newspaper challenge in which they had to plan and design a costume or model with a space theme, using only newspaper and cellotape. Lots of imagination and creativity were required and the results were “out of this world!” A slideshow will be created and posted here soon.
