We looked at what jobs we would be doing we met the staff who worked in the shop. We saw the kind of jobs they do and where everything is. It was really useful to have a tour of the shop so we knew what was where.
THE TRAINING
The students undertook training for the takeover day at Urban Flamingo. They created shop displays, discussed ways to sell items and shared ideas. With the help the shop's owner, the students learned all of the skills needed in order to take over and run the Urban Flamingo shop for a day.

THE TAKEOVER DAY
The takeover day is when the students finally get to run the Urban Flamingo shop for a day. Some of the different jobs that students did were pricing items, creating displays, serving customers, operating the till and providing hospitality.

All the students enjoyed their jobs and learnt new skills, including working as a team, being polite and friendly to customers & working with money.
THE CELEBRATION EVENT
The group had a celebration event for the Urban Flamingo project and were presented with certificates for their work. There were snacks and cake, and parents and carers were invited to share in the celebrations.
