Team Four's Trade Fair

WALT: Use language that paints a picture in the mind of our reader.



This Terms topic is Trade and Enterprise and in team four we have our own business’, money and online banking accounts. Some of us have a job, which we had to write an application for. Because of all of this, we (team four) had our very own trade fair to advertise and sell our own products, I will tell you about this later in my writing.


Our topic Trade and Enterprise, focuses on the two important words. I thought about the words Trade and Enterprise and what they mean during the trade fair. In the Trade Fair, we had to take orders from  our customers, make orders for our product, gain interest from our customers, explain what the product was and say what they would have to trade for the product.



In our six business’ which are Toys, Kitchen, Custom Stationery, Jewellery, Musical Instruments and Homeware we had to prepare for the Trade Fair. I am in Toys, we had to take orders unlike the business Kitchen. We prepared in week one, two and three by making order forms, making example products and getting the price sorted. My product is squishy balls which sold very successfully at the Trade Fair.




At the Trade Fair we had turns with our work buddy, one of us had to go trading well the other had to stay at the stall. Our turns lasted for half of the whole time. I was the first to go trading with my earned 10 PT and I bought a lot of stuff, but I forgot to buy three things. They were an orange candle, mini loom band headphones and some food. At the our stall, my partner was supposed to be making orders but she gave two squishy balls from hand.

From all of this, I have learnt to always make more orders than we had in the Trade Fair or make it online. I cannot wait till week eight when we have our market. At the market we will give the orders to people and trading our products and giving by hand like my partner.  If you want to know what PT and Pieces are, click on the words.



In writing this week, we had a really good writing session. Each paragraph we had to write and in between them, we all came to the mat and our teacher talked to us. It was a really good season and I hope to do it next time.

PT's and Pieces

WALT: Write two paragraphs about PT's and Pieces.

This term our topic is trade and enterprise. So in team four, we have our own money that we can earn and spend. Instead of cent, we have pieces and instead of dollars, we have Pt's. We can earn pieces and Pt's by sitting up in class, cleaning up, doing jobs, coming to school and by lots of other things too. Everybody has a bank account (kids one) of their own where they keep there money of course. There are lots of ways we can spend our money, we could hire a bean bag or something else, we can also buy things at the auction that we have most weeks. We can also get a fine for either 3 PT's or 5 PT's. For example; you can get a fine for not being at school, not giving the right amount of money in the auction, standing up at eating time when a teacher has not said anything and loads more.

We also have six business's that we are all in. There is Toys, Kitchen, Custom Stationary, Homeware, Jewels and Accessory's and Musical Instruments. In these business's we have projects that we work on and then we can sell it at the market where everybody in our team can buy it. We have a teacher and a group of students in each business. Our team also have partners of two or three in those business's who make the projects. My project that I am working on is squishy balls made from balloons and flour.

It is only the start of the term and this has been really cool. So when we get into the middle of the term I might even have more than my goal. I wonder how much money I will have at the end of the term. Well until then, I should focus on my project.
