Splish-splosh at the car wash

7

Today is no ordinary school day. No schoolwork is being done and the classrooms are empty.

It’s entrepreneurs’ day and everyone is very excited. There is a buzz in the air as the children set up their stalls and laugh and joke.

But today is serious business too. Each group must sell products at a stall or work together to make money.

The ±eld is scattered with colourful umbrellas and there are stalls everywhere. Some stalls sell cake, others have sandwiches, hot dogs, balloons, candy ¶oss, ice cream and cold drinks. There is even a milkshake stall.

Ben, Lebo, Hanna, Harry and Casper have come up with a super plan. They are having a car wash. With all the parents coming to the entrepreneurs’ day, they should have many customers whose cars need a good clean.

They made a large poster to advertise their car wash. Hanna sits under an umbrella next to the poster. “Good morning, and welcome to Squeaky Clean Car Wash,” she says to the ±rst customer of the day. “May I have your name and your car’s registration number?”
