Grove's Remarkable Refills: Year 5 and 6 Eco Shop Success!
At the Christmas Fair, we had a very successful launch of Grove's Remarkable Refills, the eco-friendly shop set up by our talented Year 5 and 6 students!
Over the past weeks, the children have worked incredibly hard to bring their business idea to life. They began by calculating costs, prices, and potential profits to ensure the shop could run sustainably. Each student applied for job roles, taking on specific responsibilities to contribute to the shop’s success. To promote their project, they created eye-catching posters, spoke confidently at assemblies, and kept the school community informed through the newsletter. They also designed a unique logo to give their business a creative and professional identity.
The children carefully thought about safety during planning and undertook staff training to develop their people skills and teamwork. On launch day at the Christmas Fair, their preparation paid off as they served customers with enthusiasm and professionalism. The feedback from visitors was overwhelmingly positive – a fantastic achievement for everyone involved!
We’re excited to announce the shop’s next opening on 23rd January. Stay tuned for more details, and thank you for supporting our young entrepreneurs!
The children took part in an intense basketball tournament at Waterside. They worked well against a few tough opposing teams and got through to the final. The girls worked hard to score lots of nets while the boys worked hard defending. The final was then taken to extra time and then penalties. The level of basketball was fantastic. Well done Grove Wood on coming second place!
Huge congratulations to Lucas, who after huge amounts of hard work and dedication has made the Mens Great Britain Gymnastics Squad. Well done Lucas!
