The Happy Shop Role Play Movie

Hi Everyone,

 For those of you who missed our Term 2 Assembly, here is the little imovie that was created of a Shopping Role Play in our Happy Shop. This should give you a taste of how we are using the Happy Shop and the merchandise we have made to learn about money.

All children are still having shopping experiences in the shop and are supported to provide at least enough or more money than the item costs, to count their change to check it, to record what they bought and how much money they have left, and the shop assistants record all sales and who made the product in order to give people earnings.

 We are also exploring statistics and graphing and we are tallying the products bought each week and creating bar/histogram charts of the sales. We are trying to see which items are the most popular and which items are less popular. We are then thinking of how to use this information i.e. to advertise less popular items, to have 2 for 1 sales, to make new merchandise that we predict might be popular based on previous sales data etc.

 The merchandise we choose to make are items that we believe will bring others happiness. If you have any ideas of other things we could make for our Happy Shop please see a Neighbourhood Teacher. We have Cathy (Elliot's mum) who is going to show us how to do straw weaving next week!

 Enjoy our Role Play Video.
