Moorhens Competition - The Primary Apprentice

Before the summer holidays you may remember that Moorhens ran a competition over a two week period where groups of children could create their own video advert for a chocolate bar or sweet.

We had twelve children enter the competition, which were mainly in groups of two. The videos were shown to the entire school, and then each child voted on their favourite. One particular group of children were leading the way until the final class came in with their results. These results changed the lead of the competition and we finally had a winning group - announced in assembly as Advert 7.


The winning design was a Mario style chocolate bar called Mario Marshmallow Munch Melties.

Well done to all the children who entered and congratulations to the winning group!

Watch all of the adverts on the video below:

Moorhens - Primary Apprentices

You may have heard about the Apprentice on BBC1. Well, at Moorhens we are going to have the “Primary Apprentices”, where we will have teams of children trying to be “Apprentices”, rather than one single Apprentice.

It will be over a 2 week period (Mon 13th – Fri 24th June). Teams will be of mixed ages, so as to give everyone a chance to participate. If you wish to join a team you have to attend at least 4 afternoons at Moorhens within those 2 weeks in June, to make it workable. We will have at least 2 teams, depending on how many children wish to take part.

Each team will have to come up with the idea of a new chocolate bar or sweet. They will have to design a wrapper, give it a name, a price and tell us what shop you can buy it from.
Each team will have a video recorder. They will have to make an advertisement about their new chocolate bar or sweet. They can act, sing dance, and dress up or whatever they wish to do to advertise their product.

After each advertisement has finished, it will be edited if need be and then shown to the whole school for them to vote which advertisement is their favourite.

All participants will receive certificates and the team which wins will receive a small prize.
If you wish be a Primary Apprentice and join one of the teams, book now for Moorhens between these dates. You have approximately three weeks to get your ideas together.

 Good Luck!
