PrEP MARKET DAY!

Today we had our PrEP market day. PrEP stands for the Primary Enterprise Programme. Everyone in years 3-6 were involved in the selling process.

Over the last few weeks we looked at how businesses are run, examples of services and products, the consequence of taking out loans, how to budget and making smart choices. Over the course of the year we have been collect bleds (Bledisloe currency) to be able to buy supplies at the prep store and rent items to create products and services to sell today. We could spend our bleds at the market and the year 2’s also came to shop, Mrs Harris even gave the teachers some spending money.

There was an excited buzz in the air as people arrived this morning. Everyone had been counting down to this day all year. In fact it was one of the first things we told Mrs Colliss when she started. Some of the year 5’s have even started thinking about what they will do next year, now that is thinking ahead! The year 6’s are disappointed that this is their last year for PrEP

 

There was a huge range of products.

Ninja Stars – Te Manawa, Pasa, Liam and Tommy

Balloon Friends – Nicole, Shakira, Kassie and Maxine

Hair Ties – Kathryn, Caitlyn and Tyler

Water Bomb Throw – Sam, Foni, Caleb, Troy and Humo

Window Stickers – Kimberley, Ocean and Fallon

Comedy Movie – Michael, Ian, Ben and Felix

Pop-up Christmas Cards – Janna, Angala, Samantha and Shirley.

Shortly we are going to count up all our takings, hopefully we have made a profit, and not a loss. We just have to remember to pay back loans and subtract our expenses.

It was an awesome day!!!

Fallon meets Valerie

After the bell rung after lunch today (Friday) a small group of very lucky Bledisloe students got to walk over to Paper Plus to meet Valerie Adams. Fallon was lucky enough to be the Room 13 representative. After joining the long line they got to the front and were greeted by her strong, powerful handshake. Fallon got to place that precious gold medal in her hot little hands. Mrs Dingle purchased her newly released book for the school and Valerie signed it and wrote ‘To Bledisloe School’ making it a very valuable addition to our school library.
