OTT Week was indeed exactly how we predicted it to be… an Outstanding Topic Traders spectacular!

All the classes had to outdo each other by creating an outstanding trading outlet based around their topic over the previous five weeks. Puffin Class was studying ‘Mountain Adventures’, so they created an Alpine Trading Post, complete with a real Yeti in a cave! They sold Gingerbread Yetis, Big Foot pizzas and snowglobes. They dressed as Austrian Tyrolean dancers, Austrian mountaineers and cave children waiting to be set free from the Yeti.

We had a ‘Guess the name of the Yeti’ competition, and the winner (Ms Glover) won lunch eating Numberetti Spagetti with the Yeti… Ms Glover’s and Mrs Sutton’s classes were studying ‘Britain after the War’ and recreated a Swinging Sixties-style Carnaby Street, selling sixties fashion items and Op art ceramics.

Mr Morgan chose his DT topic to recreate a life-size fairground, where you could have your fortune told by Madame Francesca. Miss Dunn’s class sold ethnic jewellery and refreshments from the Indus Valley, whilst China was the place to get tattoos and admire all the tigers in Penguin Class. The Toucans and Dodos had metalmania with brooches, photo frames and other items on a robotic theme.

Last but not least, Kookaburras and Robins had outstanding displays based on ‘light and dark’ selling glow-in-the-dark products and edibles from the moon. Ten celebrities from the local community were invited to judge the stalls on Best Products, Best Customer Service, Best Overall Trading Post, Best Packaging and Best Costumes.

We all had a fantastic week and in the end, everyone was a winner due to sheer effort, whether they won a rosette or not!
