P7 had a visit from Richard from BHC this morning. Richard and Mrs Alexander were the “dragons”, with the children trying to persuade them to invest in their business. They were asked questions about their Enterprise “ToyMania” and the plans they had for the company. P7 had been working hard, doing lots of market research to enable them to answer these questions. It was a great, worthwhile experience for the children and they even managed to secure money from Richard, in return for a percentage of their company. Watch this space for more information on ToyMania!
