SuperKidz Mini-Enterprise |
|
 The pupils in Mrs Fazey’s class have been taking part in a mini enterprise project. The children have set up their own business “SuperKidz”and have been learning about how to run a business and the importance of having a positive work ethos. They have demonstrated their abilities to vocalise and share ideas, organise, market and advertise, handle money and deal with the public. Their first project involved making, buying and selling a variety of Christmas gifts.
Over the year, this has provided them with invaluable experiences to help them develop a range of social and teambuilding skills. It has also provided the children with the opportunity to learn how products are displayed and research the types of gifts that are sold.
As part of this project, on Friday 2nd December, Mrs Fazey’s class set up their stall at a local Co-operative Supermarket where they held a tombola, sold mugs filled with chocolates, Christmas decorations and planters of hyacinth bulbs.
Monies raised from this and the sale at the Christmas Fayre was split between school fund and our nominated Charity, the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. |

On Wednesday 19th October 2011, many parents, families and guests were invited to the opening of the 3 Peaks Kitchen.
Situated in the previous office accommodation of Owl House, it was made possible by several staff members taking part in the 3 Peaks Challenge back in September/October 2010. For this they climbed Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in the Lake District and ultimately finishing with Snowdon in Wales.
Approximately £1400 was raised and Duncan Lowe (RSCW in Otter House) took on board most of the transformation of the kitchen and dining area himself. Mr Crompton also helped fit out some of the kitchen units.
The final result will allow resident children to be supervised whilst learning to prepare their own meals and also to have the potential of allowing them to invite guests to eat in the dining room.
About 40 people enjoyed a wonderful Caribbean banquet prepared by invited parents and families.
  A huge thank you must go to Patrice Campbell (parent of Savion), his Auntie Dawn and Pat Atkinson (nan of Pharez) who worked tirelesly for most of the day to give us a true taste of Caribbean cooking. The event also tied in with our celebrations around Black History month.
A wonderful evening was had by all, thank you again to all those who made it possible. |
