As part of our enterprise learning from Spring term last year, the children have continued this by creating items to sell at our Christmas fair. We had a budget of £40 and we made snowmen on a stick which we sold for 50p each. We made over 200 snowmen and decided to make some vegan to cater for all customers. One of our classmates also made snowmen hamma bead decorations to sell on the day. We had a great evening and made a total of £30 profit which is amazing! Well done Westgate Water!
