The children were set a challenge at the start of the week to come up with their own business. This included coming up with a business plan and figuring how much pretend money they needed to borrow from the bank of Richmond.

Some of the products and service they came up with included decorated cakes, undersea world photos, beat the goalie competition and lucky dip popcorn – where customers could bought packets of various flavours, such as sweet and chilli and lime, without knowing what they were.
