Supermarket Sweep

The school I work for is a franchise and as such it has to continually drum up business to ensure its survival. We are often asked to assist in marketing tasks which is sometimes nothing more than handing out leaflets. Last week we were engaged in something a little more fun; we were asked to don branded t-shirts in a subtle shade of Screaming Hazard Yellow and make ourselves seen in the local supermarket. We took some kids, put them in the same t-shirts, gave them a 'shopping list' as an English language excercise and set them loose inside.

 

 This is how you fold a towel.

The squealing, shouting and laughter that was encouraged by us, and 50mph trolley dashing ensured that we were indeed seen. After an hour of this constructive arsing around, we replaced everything that had been tossed into the trolleys, ate an ice-cream and went back to school.

This teaching malarkey is easy on days like these!
