Market Day!!

WALT: Write an interesting recount

Last week on Friday we had our team 4 market day for our topic trade and enterprise. Team 4 bought products, sold products, advertised products and did much more. We got the option to talk to our partner to buy first or sell second. Read on to find out more.


On our market day we had six groups buying and selling products. Our big groups are Musical Instruments, Homeware, Custom Stationery, Kitchen, Jewelry and Toys. Smaller groups were made so they can decide what products they want to make to sell. My group had a discussion and decided that we wanted to make maths book covers.


The whole of team four were split up into the year six block, the year five block and the porch. The groups that were in the year five block were Jewelry and Toys. In the year six block was Custom stationery, some of Jewellery and Musical Instruments. On the porch was Kitchen. Our group decided to hang our poster above us so our customers can see our amazing product. It was really crazy, because kids were wandering around  and buying products that they didn’t even need.


Kids got the option to talk to their partner if they wanted to buy or sell first. I got the opportunity to buy first, so what I bought was a candle for my mum, food, loom bands and much more. My partener and I had a turn to bowl down six cans with a ball, it was super fun buying. The products that I bought were very useful to use, and I was very impressed of what I could do with it. When we had to swap I didn’t want to go back I was stuck having way too much fun with my products.


Selling products was easy for a while. We sold up to 9 book covers and made 22pt and 50pcs, we also made 5 generic book covers which made 12pt and 50pcs. Our group was really impressed of how much we made, and we are really grateful that Mr Goodwin was there to help us. I was in custom stationery with my friends, we got the option to chose what math book we want. What I choose was a cool graffiti math book cover, that my friend Venetia made. It was super cool and fitted right onto my maths book.

The market day was like I was in the night market but in day time, I thought the market was going to be lame but it was actually really awesome. The most amazing part about the market day was that we got heaps of orders, my friends and I were really HAPPY!!

Trade-Fair!!!

WALT:  Paints a picture in our readers mind

This term our topic is trade and enterprise. We are learning how to trade products and becoming entrepreneurs. Buying and Selling product is really easy at our school, we learn how to trade with our friends and enterprise with the people who we may or may not know. If you are really interested in this learning environment read on to find out more about this.

A trade fair is when you have a group presentation that your group has been working on through the past few weeks, making your product look really good to sell. At a trade fair you look for items that you will be interested in, then soon to ask question about the product. At a trade fair you obviously trade things like products and make an advertisement to pull your buyer into your work. Trade fairs can make you have heaps of cash BUT sometimes your material costs to much to pay.


We had lots and lots of different groups like Home ware, Toys, Kitchen, Jewels and accessory, Custom Stationery and Music. I am in Custom Stationery, every single business teamed up into three or four. I participated with Venetia and Seini, We all had a accomplished ideas. There were so many ideas that people had to chose from and people picked amazing items to build their product. We had heaps of ideas and only choose 1-3 items to make, we made custom maths book covers. My friends and I decorated our maths book cover for some ideas of what we need to improve on and finally finished our product.


The trade-fair for me was pretty cool but some things were a little bit too much. What I loved and ordered was loom bands, food, balloon filled with flour and a beautiful candle. They were all pretty and they were really useful stuff that I will use. When I went back to my group I saw that Seini was doing really good with ordering from children, Seini was really good at selling stuff and hustling people to buy our stuff it was so good for our Custom Stationery group.

I was so excited that we had our trade-fair and still excited for our market day in Week 8. I am excited because I brought some stuff and I can not wait till I use them, I thought that the trade-fair was a good idea because it was cool for the year fives and sixes to get a good idea for our real job courier. Doing my own business with my group was very fun and we made heaps of orders.


Task of Description:

Today we learnt how to paint a picture in our readers mind, I also learnt how to use new vocab in our learning every day. The trade fair was a good example of our learning for our new Walt, it was pretty easy doing my work because it was good opportunity to experience. IT WAS FUN!!!
