Today we completed our business plan.
We discussed that we need to buy, card, envelopes, shiny cover, Sacramental pictures for Holy Communion and Confirmation and labels
We talked about conducting market research (asking parents) if they would but the cards and how much they would be willing to pay. We thought about how we could sell these cards to our parents, create our own shop or bring them out at the end of the school day.

Why do plants need leaves? This is so it can take in light to make food
so it can keep healthy.
What is the job of the root?
Roots take in water.
When a plant grows and it is in a small pot the roots cannot spread out so it has to
be in a bigger pot.Then it has more room.

Holy Souls Card Company. Meeting 2.
Meeting opened at 2.20 p.m.with thanks from Miss Cranmer for the ideas for our logo. Some will be put on display and we will vote for the best one.
Miss spoke about how we are to make the card and the different options for the designs.
We talked about what "raw materials" we need to make the card.
We suggested items such as: ribbon, glitter, felt pens, religious pictures, sequins, glue, card, feathers, plastic case for the card.
We spoke about getting religious pictures because drawing would be really hard. We decided that we might have to pay for these pictures and this would make the cost of the finished product more expensive. All of the raw materials will cost money and this will make the cost of the card more expensive.
The meeting closed at2.50 p.m.
