Tell us what you have been doing this week
This week, Rebecca met the children in year 6 and went through all of the info about what a business is and how social enterprises work. We discussed Rebecca's business and how she can help the children to raise money for their enteprise. We settled on a film night idea with each of the children suggesting names for the team, logo ideas and sketching some icons out.
What did you learn this week?
We learned all about businesses and the differences between this and a social enterprise. We learned how logos work and how to name a business. We learned to communicate and work as a team for choosing the name democratically.
What did you find difficult this week?
Deciding on a name was tricky as there were SO many good ideas. But using a voting system, we settled on an idea.
