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 (www.fiverchallenge.org.uk) - 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.
