Market Day
What a great day!
Friday's Market was amazing. I was really impressed by the products, signs and stalls our children have made. Well done!
Our total profit was $112. We will decide what construction material we would like to buy with our profit.
A great team effort everyone.

Immersion Day
Last Tuesday we had a great time making a range of possible market day products from a lot of different materials.
We were allowed to go to any of the classes in the Middle Magic Team and explore the range of different materials and products. Here are some photos of us making and creating.
After we finished we pretended we had $1 to spend and decided which items we would buy. These are the items we liked the best.
We had a class discussion about what made these products more successful than others. Why didn't we choose some of the other products? This is what we found out:

Why do we think these products sold in our mini shop?
They were not plain
They could move or you
could play with them
Not just
made out of paper
Creative
Look
realistic, what they are supposed
Colour and
texture
Layers of
different colours
Sparkles and
extras added to it, decorated, made more interesting
Other people
didn’t make – it’s a one off.
Being
original
They were useful – the
bookmarks, we can use it
They had parts that
move
They were not fragile,
weak, could easily break
