The Snack Shop
Running the Year 6 Snack Shop Team helps children develop a range of valuable skills in a real-world setting. By selecting and promoting healthy products, they gain decision-making and nutritional awareness, understanding the importance of offering balanced choices. Managing sales during Friday break time builds financial literacy, as they handle money, give change, and track stock. Promoting their products encourages communication, teamwork, and marketing skills, as they find creative ways to engage customers and encourage healthy eating. Additionally, they develop responsibility and problem-solving abilities, ensuring the shop runs smoothly and efficiently. This hands-on experience fosters confidence, independence, and key business skills for the future.
