Drifting into Madness !!!!!

We have finally sorted things out and we are sorry we haven't updated in a while but heres all you need to know;
Name: Drifters
Product: sleeping masks with bed socks or T-shirts ?
PM: Ema
We hope this is satisfactory for you and that you are well informed:)
On the fundraiang note i currently have some meringues (YUM) in the oven so we are slowly mking money, we have gone in differnt diretion and decided to opt for the lazy option of buying the masks them sewing our own designs on !!! this is WAY eaiser and more time efficiant but will cost more, we are still pondering what to do aout the bed socks as they are expensive to buy and scarce to find??? any suggestions? we may do T-shirts but again this is difficut ???
we will keep you all informed on how we are doing

Can't make our mind up?

From our last lesson we weren't 100% certain as to what we were gonna do but we briefly decided what everyone would do, i.e. Who would gather design ideas for inspiration However we gathered an idea of onesies but we weren't very successful researching and so we started thinking about novelties for nightime i.e. Sleeping masks like this :

The week were everybody was rehearshing for the Spring Concert

Hey, this week I was the only one in the lesson representing the group and I was thinking of the finance involved baking cakes and selling thsem. I wanted to try spending a little amount of money on the cake ingredients and then selling the cake at a higher price to make a good profit. I researched the i ingredients needed are and average cost : 50g self raising flour (35p Mr Dougalls) 50g caster sugar (7.2p Silver spoon caster) 50g butter (25p Anchor) 1 egg (25p Big and Fresh) So with this we can try and make delicious cupcakes using a minimum price to raise a large profit :) Also a couple of weeks ago we did the task with the 9 dots and we had to link them together using 1 line and also trying the keep the balloon floating in the air without using our arms or legs, here are the videos filmed by Mr Wood:

And i'll try and upload the photos later becuase it's the end of the lesson :P , By Marina

 Marina, finace manager - the smarts of the group will help figure out the cost of the whole operation loss profit the works no maths equals = no realisation of anything.

Uplifting moment.

Hi!! I'm not really hear to talk about what we did in the lessons or anything important in particular, however after hearing the scary news of having to come up with a final idea our group seemed to all fall into a great heap of panic and negative thinking...

"WE CAN'T DO THIS!""WE WILL NEVER FIND A GOOD IDEA!!"
"EVERYONE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN US!""MR WOOD WILL BE SO LET DOWN!!"

Things weren't looking up for the coolest group in the world so I decided to find us a positive thinking poem to get the spirit back up!


"Little bird in the sky
Droping 'poop' into ur eyeYou don’t worry u don’t cry,
You just thank God that,Cows do not fly!!
Always be positive."
What I was trying to say by this was that we will find a way to be the best and yes we will have the greatest product ever!!
Thanks for Ema :)

Few fishes in our Thinktank :)

wow its already week 5...or 6 ???? 


Last lesson in a nutshell wasn't that good , well its hard to top spuddy buddy , but we did come up with some quite inspiring ideas for our trade fair projects.
we have been tossing around some ideas for a few week now but nothing was decided ; we had thought about flip flop, headbands and accessories, t-shirts, phone cases and a couple of others. suddenly last lesson Mr. Wood dropped on us that he wants our final idea and can we tell him so he make sure no one copies us. We were PANICKED!!! 
we spoke about our ideas using the speaking stick, cheesy but it surprisingly works, we then came up with the idea of making good quality crop-tops. you may be thinking that they get done every year but ours would be different, they would be well made and high quality which would make ours stand out from the rest. We thought of the rough idea for the name Cropshop copied from topshop obviously and we would make cheaper alternatives to the expensive brand. 


if there is anyone reading then pleeeaaasssseeeee comment and follow us to tell us what you think about the tops, we want your suggestions and opinions. 


we will keep you updated on all the things we are doing in class and out of class

If your a couch potatoe then you need a spuddy buddy !!!
Get yours in special waitrose promotional packs and start you potatoe experience now !?

Confused then lets explain,

Last lesson in the amazing Mr Woods enterprise class we were given a potatoe, (even more confused? so were we) according to sir this wasnt just a potatoe it was a goldmine! he said he wanted us to take this potatoe (goldmine?) and turn it into soemthing amazing. we had o turn it into a new product that was original and had a USP (unique selling point) we thought of lots of things from balls to pen holders but then, suddenly we had a REVALETION !!!!  there was nothing on the market that was a potatoe doll !! ( wonder why ?) after this we had our eyes set on the doll idea and we had already statred on a chaep prototype made form pen legs, we hd to think of the relevance and why someone would bhuy a potatoe doll though. As you could imagine, we couldnt think of why someone would want it so we decided not to sell it but for it to be included in a bag of potatoes. we had stuck gold , howerver cheesy that sounds, we decided then very quickly on an idea;
GET YOUR FREE SPUDY BUDDY IN PROMOTIONAL PACKS OF POATAOES IN WAITROSE !! ARE YOUR KIDS UNHEALTHY ?
DO YOU WANT THEM TO GROW THEIR OWN POTATOES BUT CANT ONBINCE THEM ?
WELL THEN SPUDDY BUDDY CAN HELP!!!
make you own spuddy buddy with arms, legs and accesories now !!! you can personilise him or her however you like ! Spuddy Buddy will help your kids interested in gardening andi sgreat fun !!
 GET YOURS NOW !!

we were definetly onto a winner and it has made the thought of making a product for the trade fair ( arrggghhh??? clueless) much less dauting. so if ANYONE is reading this then please follow us and comment to tell us what you think about SPUDDY BUDDY !!!

From Flo,

GO mr woods amazing enterprise class  !!!

Smells like team spirit!

Whoa, it's already week 3!


:( Sorry I didn't write last week; hope my (nonexistent) readers didn't
miss us too much.
Nevertheless, I am here to fill in everything we did.
So I am Ema Provic, and I am part of the coolest enterprise group in Mr Woods
year 9 class.
We strive for success and we will overcome any obstacles.
Sure that sound's cheesy, but hey, at least it smells of team spirit!

Last week we were looking at morals, and what our 'companies' thought were most
important to be successful and what we would be focusing on.

For example Dame Anita Roddick banned animal testing
on all her products, because the is what she believed was right, and would make
an impact on society.
We think that it is very important to recycle; all spare parts must be used, or
scrapped efficiently.
We also believe that it is as important to focus on what the public want and
believe.
This is including social, economical, and possibly even style factors.
Anything that the public or buying consumers want we will tend to them with as
high as a priority as we possibly can!!
Yes, we are here for you and we care!!
Well, as the saying goes "The customers always right!"


I hope I haven't waffled on too much.... I hope you enjoyed my quick summery of
what we did in our lesson.

Hoping to see you soon.


(This goes out to all our nonexistent readers that love to tune in every week
to see what we have gotten up to in our amazing lessons with the coolest
teacher in the world!)

Bye, from Ema
