Methodist Primary School Klerksdorp’s Grade 7s hosted their annual Market Day on Friday, an energetic showcase of creativity, planning, and customer service that forms a key part of the EMS curriculum.

What stood out

Real-world learning: Learners applied budgeting, pricing, marketing, and teamwork in a live setting.
Bustling stalls: From tasty treats to clever crafts and fun games, the playground turned into a mini business hub.
Whole-school vibe: Teachers, classmates, and families showed up in numbers—great support and great smiles all round.

Why it matters

Market Day grows financial literacy, communication skills, and confidence. Learners experience how ideas become products, how customers are served, and how profit (or loss!) follows good decisions.

Well done, Grade 7s, your hard work showed. Thank you to our teachers for guidance and to our school community for enthusiastic support.

Future entrepreneurs in the making, watch this space!
