Year 5 Market Reflection
As you know we have had our market recently. I did not expect to make profit but my group did so well and made a actual profit. In my group I had George, Lucas, Lorelei and Hazel. Everyone has worked super hard leading up to it and on the day its self. A challenge for us was being outside because some people come at the start and then don’t come back out. But the way we problem solved was going inside and attracting buyers to come to our stall. We sold Orbeez, Slinkies, Stress balls, squashies, bouncy balls, string balloons key-rings and a ping pong cup activity. James – Macready- Bryan came. It was so exciting to hear that the mum said he was really excited, because it’s hard to tell. Our grade raised $ 6008. To think that all that money goes to that foundation is just crazy to even think about. My groups stall ( called Crystal Clear) was outside. I really didn’t want to because i thought our group would be cold but it was such a beautiful day. Our slinkies were massive for the younger grades and was so exciting to be doing. At the Market your either Sprooking , Shopping or serving customers. At one point I was serving customers like crazy. When one person was done the next person was asking straight after. I think we had a really good idea of finding the jars for our orbeez . We found them at simple Kmart. My favourite bits of the Market was seeing people with our products and telling their friends about it. Also when the preps asked us to help them to get money out, their faces light up when we hand them their product/s. During this experience we had to be a leader. The way we showed this was by showing selflessness, respect and Effort. I think i showed being selfless by giving everyone a job. When everyone left the stall to go shopping at the end when we had sold out i didn’t leave because i knew if anyone came they would have to talk to someone.

What was something you did to show selflessness at the Market and why did you show it ??
