Week 26
This week has been a very busy week! We had a lot of work to do. On Thursday the 12th, we had our Mini Company Finals on in the school from 9:05 until Lunch Time. All week, we had a lot of work to do to make sure all of our work was done and we had our posters done and we had prototypes to show the judges. As you may already know, from previous blogs, I am in a group called 'Ignite Candles'. We make homemade scented candles with a chalkboard so you can write a personal message on the front. The small candle is €4, the medium is €6 and the large candles are €8. I am the finance manager in the group so it was my job to look after the income and expenditure in the group and also to do the accounts, which I wasn't very good at but I enjoyed it. We had a great experience doing the Mini Company and we think we are going to keep it going until the next order we gets runs out. The finals went well. It was very nerve racking. First the judges came around to look at our project and get our names and that stuff, then we had a break. After the break, each team had to individually get up in front of the other groups and talk about our project. the project manager had to talk about the project in general, and then we had to talk about our individual parts. I had to talk about the accounts, closing stock, profit margins and costs throughout the selling time. i was really nervous and shaking but once i finished, i was really proud of myself and the team. i feel we did really well and am happy with our mini company! However, I don't think this will be the end for us selling, I thing we will carry on to the end of the year :)
