Enterprising Badgers

Once the order forms were handed in, we wrote the name of the designer on the back and then cut out the badges from the order forms.

We put the picture between a metal badge and a piece of plastic and then inserted it into the badge maker. Finally we added the pin to the back of the badge.

We put the badges with their order forms into plastic bags before sending them back to all the people who ordered them.

Once we had finished making all the badges for the rest of the school we made some for ourselves. Here they are in their packets before we took them home.

We made over 80 badges and the money group added the money and found that we made £41.20 altogether so we will have to decide what do with our profits!

Enterprise

Primary 3 have been working hard on their enterprise topic.  Miss McCabe helped us to set up our co-operative learning groups to make and sell badges.

Our business is called ‘The Badgers’ and we have already visited classes to find out what sort of badges they would like to buy and what price they would be willing to pay.

We put the results onto graphs using the pictogram website at http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/numbers/pictogram/pictogram.htm

The Advertising group have been choosing the best posters to advertise our badges and we are busy making order forms to give to classes.

We have been writing about monsters.  First of all we made our monsters and gave them names.  Then we had to write good descriptions about what they looked like, their personalities and how they behaved.  We peer- assessed them and they will be going up on the wall soon.  

Firstly we chose the monster's head.

Then we cut out a body.

And finally we chose some legs or a tail.

After we made our monsters we wrote about them using good WOW words.
