Holy Souls Card Company

Today in school we created our own company. We have decided to create our own Sacrament celebration cards for the Sacrament of Holy Communion and Confirmation.
We thought about some interesting names for our company such as:
Year 3 are creative from Alex
Year 3 Holy Souls from Phaneendra.
Year 3 Artists from Ben
Year 3 Arts and Crafts from Sean
Year 3 Community from George
Year 3 Crafts from Declan
Year 3 Craft Making Cards from Campbell
Holy Souls Card Company from Ella
Creative Year 3 from Kurtis
Year 3 Art Club from Tyreena and Niall.
Holy Cards from Connie
Year 3 Card Makers from Sadie

We voted for our favourite name for our company. The winner and name for our card making company is Holy Souls Card Company.


We also discussed and talked about what jobs we need to allocate to make this card company successful. We spoke about the roles of manager, artist and designer, idea collector, advertising executive, vendors, accountant("money maker" said Niall)

We have set up three experiments. One tray of seeds will be left by a warm radiator. One tray will be left in a cold cupboard. One tray will be left in a cold fridge.

Is this a fair test?
