We had great fun with Ann and the Junior Achievement activities this week. We set up and played The Big Business Game. We had to make business decisions . some were easy to make and others cost the business money. There was a lot of money in and money out, the bankers were very busy ! It’s not so easy to be successful in business but we had great fun trying. Here we are at work…..

3rd and 4th class are busy with Junior Achievement and this week we had Anne’s second visit to work with us on the ” Our Nation ” programme. We became producers , our product was a pen and we learned about unit and mass production. Unit production worked best on the day. We tested our products in quality control, some did not pass the quality control test ! We got to keep our finished products. Thank you Anne and thank you Junior Achievement. Here we are at work….
