• The Apprentice

  Fri 14 Jul 2023

  On Thursday after school, the Year Two children competed to win the 'Mini Apprentice'. Throughout the week they had been creating products to sell, designing brands, posters, adverts and jingles to market their products. There was a lot of interest in the children's stalls and each class nearly sold out of all the products.
