Cluster Event Celebrates Burns Day in Style! January 27, 2008
Posted by smacniven in : P7, visits , trackback
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.

I really enjoyed the Enterprise challenge. Well done to everybody and the other schools. The bit I liked the most was being on one of the winning teams (The Mojo’s!!).
Thanks Riccardo for being the first to comment, I am glad you enjoyed the challenge. Why do you think your team was one of the winners? What made the Mojo’s a successful business?
the enterprise challenge was really fun even though my team never one (hippi hagises) me made a good profit and it was a rush towards the end because are seller forgot our last product but he got it in the end.We where so glad.I also liked all the singing in the bus but i think we need a bit more practice before the musical.:)

We made about £185 profit and if we made and sold one thing we would have one the most profit because the winners had £186. Unfortunately we didn’t win anything.
