Mini Company Presentations

Yesterday as the last part of our mini company experience;every mini company set up a display and did a presentation to be judged.The company's that got the highest points were short listed for the Kildare county final.In each class there was 3 awards given out;1 for display,1 for innovation,and 1 for best report.My company 'SnapShot Frames' got the award for the best display in our class(Síocháin).It was very interesting to listen to the other mini company's presentations because we got to hear about how they came up with their products and how they did market research etc.Even though my company didn't get through to the Kildare county final I have really enjoyed taking part in the mini company project;it was a very time consuming proect but I have learnt a lot about business and working in a large group!

Mini Company Workshop-Best Day Ever

Yesterday,since my year is taking part in the mini company TY project,we went to Odeon Cinema for a workshop.In the workshop we were suppose to be learning how to start running our mini company but the speaker who was suppose to do it with us was sick and rushed off to hospital.We were all in the cinema before we knew this so our buses had gone home and we had no way of returning to school;so the nice people in the cinema let us see the new James Bond movie 'Sky fall' for free!This was really kind of them and we all really enjoyed the movie.After the film the people who worked there gave everyone a bag of sweets,popcorn and a drink;and a Madagascar 3 cup!When we arrived back at the school it was lunch time and all the other years were really jealous because we got to see the movie during a school!

Since we missed the mini company workshop we have to have another one a different day.My mini company is coming along well but we still have a long way to go before we start selling.My company makes magnetic frames out of recycled materials!Each one is unique and is decorated by our production team!Heres a few of the frames we have already made:
