The Amazing Year 5 market
Market Day:
What a great day it was! There was so much fun and excitement. All the students who came to our stall had big smiles on their faces. The products we sold were Orbeez, Squishes and Bracelets. We also had a Rubix Cube Challenge- the Year 6 students loved it.
We raised $ 331.75 profit.
Highlights on the day:
Seeing all the other market stall groups and the amazing products everyone had, as well as having the opportunity to buy them!
I liked when the younger students asked to buy our products.
We SOLD OUT of everything!
My Group:
My market group, over all, could have definitely worked better.
We had some problems with Corporation. I think it was because of some people in our group. One of the problems in our group was that everything had to go a certain persons way, just because our products weren’t made the way this person wanted them to be made, we had arguments. We are a group, we are supposed to work together. We had a lot of problems with a team member saying that the things we made were not good and that no one would buy them.
In the end – they were wrong- we sold them all and sold them fast!
In our group, there were also some miss understandings. Some of our products didn’t come in the mail. We came up with a good solution, we decided to make a couple more products of the Orbeezs- and that worked our perfectly.
The PLA attributes I used were Resilience, Collaboration and Connectedness.
I used Resilience when things got hard it my group. I used collaborations it my group when we where coming up with our products and how to make them. And l also used connectedness my group when we had a discussion talking about the market.
There were a lot positive things that happed throughout the market unit . One of the things that happened was market day , it was really fun interacting with other people at our market stall and we were able to walk around and look at everyone having fun. I also really enjoy meeting James Macready Bryan . Everyone was being really nice to him and being respectful to. It was really nice that he was excited to came to the market probably because it is so amazing that people have raised money for him and all the other people out there like him.
Another thing was Making our Ads .We had to put a lot of effort in to it to make it persuasive. Some of the thinks that we could do next time is make more products because we did not have that many of the orbeez and also make better quality things too because some of them weren’t the best products, like some of the squishes.
Over all l had the best time doing the market and there was so much to learn from it. It was a great experience l would totally do it again.
