Regular readers might remember the Theme Park project we did last Summer. the kids have remembered this and asked to do another one, so we did a hotel complex project over Easter.
I started by drawing an island on squared paper with beaches and attractions, so the kids could choose where to build their hotel complex.
This, of course, needed a budget. Then more maths followed, choosing what to put in the complex (shops, games rooms etc) and to place the rooms etc.
Then they had to decide how much to charge for their rooms and work out running costs.
And then calculate how much money they made over two weeks. This took a long time, but at the end they both had a profit to spend on advertising.
Obviously they both opted for a TV advert, so we watched some holiday adverts, they decided what they wanted to do, and we got making clips to go in it. We set up an area to take pictures using some red paper and a table, and the kids spent some time making things out of Lego before I came in with my camera to take the pictures and videos.
Then we put them all together in order, chose some music and spoke very nicely to my helpful (sometimes) teenager.
Who put together the adverts for us. If you want to see the final adverts you can find them on YouTube at the following addresses:
Sun Shell Hotel
Costa Del Mangalor
