A day was filled with anxiety and excitement for our children was not
just a learning experience but a true challenge which gave them lifelong
profound learning. The day started off with the class taking an oath that
whatever happens they will be principled when they conduct the sales. As a
team, they set up their stalls, mixed the lemonade and got ready with
exuberance. The market opened and our budding entrepreneurs did make us feel
proud when they put together their learning of the past 6 weeks together to
meet the demands of the market. They not only used the learning from the unit
‘How we organize ourselves’ but also went back to what they learnt in their
advertising unit to market their business and persuade customers to buy their
product.
Now it is time to reflect on the how they did in terms of profit. The
groups were anxious to know what their revenue was and if they made a profit or
not. They used costing sheets to calculate the revenue and come up with an
overall understanding of the unit. It was interesting to see their reflections
that showed how students exhibited their learner profiles, skills and attitudes
during the whole process.
