Stoneraise School

Completed during June 2019

​

We made a staggering £264.20 profit which was distributed between several charities.

Class Oak took part in the Fiver Challenge, a national competition for young people aged from 5 – 11 years. This Challenge is free and run by Young Enterprise () - the UK’s leading enterprise and financial education charity, bringing learning to life and help encourage future aspirations in young people. Pupils are pledged £5 and have one month to set up a mini business and create a product or service they can then sell or deliver at a profit.  Pupils decide how to spend or donate their profit.  It’ll be great fun too! 

​

The Fiver Challenge took place place for 4 weeks from Monday 3rd - Friday 28th June.

​

We are all very excited about getting involved with this Challenge. We have 6 small business ideas to get our teeth into.
