Pudong Campus (Social Study): Mini Market

April 4, 2019

Cookies and origami for everyone! This week grade two students transformed into producers, consumers, and even marketers! Everyone was so excited about the mini market.

Students worked tirelessly in pairs and groups over the past few weeks to create amazing, unique and original products to sell during the grade two mini-mart. In order to encourage others to buy their wonderful products, students created bright and colorful posters as a group. Teamwork, communication, reasoning and creative skills were just a few of the many characteristics grade two used during these weeks. In the end, their hard work paid off in what was an extremely successful mini-mart.

On Thursday 4th April, students eagerly arrived bright and early to set up their stalls with their homemade products and advertisements, ready to sell to other grade two students and even teachers. Producers and consumers came out of the woodwork to barter and negotiate with each other in an effort to maximize profits while buying as many goods as possible with their budgets. Excellent teamwork was clear during the entirety of the activity, with one student working on sales, while the other acted as a consumer. A great morning was had by all, and the smiles on the students’ faces showed their pride and happiness.

The students not only received heaps of joy from this mini market, but also lots of confidence in how well they can do as producers, consumers, and even marketers.
