Market Day!

WALT:Write an interesting and detailed recount.

Team four’s market day was awesome! On the eleventh of September, Team four had a huge market day. We sold our products to kids in our team. We also advertised and brought products. Everyone had PTS and Pieces to buy what they wanted. By the way PTs and Pieces are the team four currency. If you have 1 PT you double it in NZ dollars, 1 PT equals 2 dollars. We had a market for this terms topic Trade and Enterprise. Earlier this term we had a trade fair for our topic. It was amazing.

Weeks before the actual market day we prepared and got ready for it. In our team there are six business’. In our business’ there were smaller groups. Our six business’ are, Kitchen, Homeware, Jewelry and accessories, Custom Stationery, Musical Instruments and Toys. Each group made there own little products to sell. My group had decided to create and design our own book covers to share with everyone in Team Four.

When I was time to have our market we had to set up our store. In the year six block the groups that were in there were, Homeware, Custom Stationery and Musical Instruments. The groups in the year five block were Toys and Jewelry and accessories. On the porch were the Kitchen group. It was chaos, there were teachers setting up, kids wandering around and even kids been lazy.       

Selling in the beginning wasn’t that good for me and my group. Me and my business sold 9 book covers and made 22 PT and 50 pieces. Once we were there for a while we got the hang of advertising and selling products. We also sold 5 generic ones too. I absolutely hated selling, it was so boring. When I was trying to sell all I was yelling out was “Maths book covers, 2PT and 50 pieces. We also had a poster which kind of helped us to get customers attention.

Before the market I with drawed 10 PT. With my 10 PT I bought tons of things. Buying things is my favorite thing. At the market bought loombands, slime, chocolate fudge, a candle and even a drum. Shopping was my favorite part of the market. Unfortunately at the end of the market I spilt my slime. But I still had lots of fun.

Our market day was magnificent.  I bet all of the kids had lots of fun buying and selling products. The group I enjoyed the most was Toys. They had some amazing stuff. I also loved the Kitchen group. They had some delicious food. I would LOVE to have another market day. Overall my group made 35 PT. Everything was amazing.

Trade Fair Recount!

Walt:use language that paints a picture in the mind of our reader.

This term our topic is Trade & Enterprise, for team 4 we had a Trade Fair and is going to have a market. Trading is when you sell something for something else. For example;I can trade you a bag of lollies for a $1. Enterprise means that you are starting or making up a business it can also mean you trying to turn something small into something big.

A trade fair and a market a quite different, a market is when you buy stuff then and there, and a trade fair when you take orders. Trade fair is the kind of like a place where you take orders then take those orders and eventually manufacture them.  For e.g. you have a business and your wanting to advertise your own product you would want to go to the trade fair, there are so many businesses. A market on the other hand is when you buy products on the spot, no orders or nothing. At the trade fair we purchase products with our Team 4 currency and online bank account.

There are six business groups in Team 4: Toys, Kitchen, Custom Stationery, Jewels and accessories, Homeware and Musical Instruments. In each business there are more businesses in it, the business I’m in is Custom Stationery. In Custom Stationery me and my group are making Custom Book Covers. We prepped by making examples of our own products. We then took orders from customers, now all  we need to do is make them. Once the customers have got there product we then take the money out of their online bank.  

My trade fair experience was awesome. I spent 7 PT on food and spent 9 PT all together. I brought a tremendous amount of food. I also brought some other things and even sold my own product. We got 7 orders all together. Thats a lot of orders for us, each were sold for 2 PT and 50 pieces.

The currency we have are PT’s and Piece’s. There are 20 pieces, 50 pieces, 1 PT and 2 PT, thats our currency. In New Zealands dollars you double our currency, for example 1 PT is $2 dollars, you just double the amount. We also have our very own online bank account.

I can't wait for our Market day. Yes we are having our own market. In week 8 we are having our very own market day. I can't wait.

The task was to write a recount about our trade fair and what we sell. We had to write about our currency and the Trade Fair and the up coming market. Guess what, I spent 9 PT.
