In Year 10 they are taking part in an entrepreneurial project based around the elderly. Each group has to create and design their own aspect of a task
Miss Topping:
" At the moment the pupils are doing promotion and catering, they are creating a business for the elderly, whoever gets the most money at the end wins... I think it helps develop entrepreneurial skills and helps students to gain an insight into what elderly people are interested in."
"At the moment we are designing a business. We have decided to do an activity for the elderly. We are designing logos in order to promote our design. On Friday we will be doing a 10 minute presentation to the elderly showing the business to them."
One group has come up with the idea of 'Retro Affection.' This will involve students sitting with people from local care homes and taking part in a series of fun activities such as blind sweet tasting, tiddlywinks and chess. It is a perfect opportunity for people from different generations, who wouldn't normally mix, to meet and talk to one another. All of the activities have been designed to ensure that the people visiting school on festival day have the best time possible.
