Year 5’s trip to Croxteth Country Park Farm, where we learnt all about the life processes of the different animals on the farm and then got to interact with the animals (helping the farmers to feed and groom them).

Year 3 raised a total of £43.75 during our enterprise afternoon! The children decided to buy books and stationery. Each class now has a set of 8 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' books and a stacking pencil each.
From planning to making, advertising to selling, the children had a great time building their enterprise skills, which I'm sure will help them in the future.
Thank you to all the children in OLSE for supporting Year 3!
Enterprise Day Marketing Videos and Posters, by Mrs Harris
Date: 1st Feb 2024 @ 9:46pm
The children had a wonderful time during the preparation for Enterprise Day 2024!
Their entrepreneurial skills were certainly put to the test and they all did so well.
Modern life means our young people need to be resilient, innovative and not afraid to experiment - all important for entrepreneurs.
We are using Enterprise Day to develop a range of skills in our pupils. These skills include:- team work, financial literacy, organising and planning, using initiative, negotiation, taking risks, creativity and innovation.
A key part of enterprise is the making of goods, followed by the marketing and selling of these goods.
Take a look at our presentation / marketing videos and see what you like the look of 😊
