On Monday 20th May, we (Jack, Sophia, Jayden and Amber) visited High Coniscliffe School to find out how they organise, arrange and carry out their magnificent sleepover. We met with their headteacher Mrs. Aitken who explained that they have had a sleepover for the previous three years. It has been a huge success and she raises lots money for playground equipment from this event. We asked her many questions including: how much did you charge? How much did you make from the event? What did you have to eat? Mrs. Aitken said that they charge £15 per child and this includes cookies and milk and bacon sandwiches for breakfast!
After speaking to the head teacher, we then interviewed five Y6 children who have been to all of the sleepovers. From the children we found out that they watched a PG movie that was The Secret Life Of Pets. They also played hide and seek in the dark but Mrs. Davison said, “That won’t be happening at our sleepover!” All the children had a great time and they recommended that we should be brave enough to have a sleep over.
We spoke to our headteacher Mrs. Ayto who agreed to let us have a sleepover in school. So our business is now going to be a hotel too. The PIE challenge team has successfully run a movie night so we all thought we could extend this to a sleepover and become young entrepreneurs of the hospitality world!
