Our PSHE learning was a particular highlight of Maths Week. In true apprentice style, we worked in groups to manufacture a paper product worthy of Miss Branagan’s, Mrs Avis’ and Mrs Branagan’s investment! We worked as a group and began with a budget of £1500. With this, we had to decide how much of it to invest in insurance – we could either get full-cover, theft and fire cover or no cover at all. Then, we chose what resources to purchase. There was a buzz in the air as we worked quickly to meet our deadline. During our production time, cards were randomly drawn to let us know whether there had been any unfortunate events such as a fire, a theft or flood in our premises. Those groups who had purchased the expensive full cover knew they had nothing to worry about whereas those of us who had risked only investing in partial cover were nervous! We also had opportunities to earn promotions through hard work. At the end, our products were assessed based on quality, consistency and desirability. A good sales pitch, advertising campaign and enticing promotions were crucial in securing investment.
