A Letter has Arrived

Mr Chrimbo has been in touch and thinks we are doing a fantastic job. He has even sent us our wages!

He liked our ideas and wants us to work hard to make them happen. Some of the things he asked us to work on included, decorations, Alfie's Magic Show and biscuits for the cafe.

The main task he has asked us to work on today has been an advertisement campaign for our shop. He sent us a link to a video of a Christmas advert that is on TV at the moment and has asked us to use t as inspiration for our own.

We have been planning our own adverts today. We started with our characters and have chosen two animals - one which hibernates and one which doesn't.

Then we planned our advert by creating a storyboard.

Christmas Store Hethersett

Last week, Miss Bailey received an email from Mark Chrimbo. Here it is...

Dear Miss Bailey,

I am emailing you to let you know of my intentions to open a brand new Christmas Store in Hethersett. As a teacher in the area I was hoping you would be able to provide me with information about where I might be able to find some keen, motivated individuals who would be able to assist me in opening a store before Christmas.

There is not long to go and I realise that deadlines are tight, but with the right staff I feel we could pull this one off and open in time for Christmas.

I have attached the job descriptions and an application form. Can you pass these onto anyone you think would be interested in this exciting new venture!

I look forward to your response,

Regards,

Mark Chrimbo CEO Christmas Corporation Limited

22 Sleigh Street

Rudolph Road

Norwich

We decided to apply - here are some of the application forms we completed.

The next thing we knew, we got the job!

Many thanks for the applications you sent me. I am delighted to tell you that I would like to offer you all the job you applied for. Congratulations! You are now an important staff member here at Christmas Corporation Limited. I have attached a contract for you to sign. You will start employment straight away with us. Unfortunately we are unable to pay you as you are only young, but I will make sure we send some chocolate your way in the post very soon to keep your energy levels up!

Now then - down to business - as our only employees in Hethersett, it is now down to you to put your heads together and think about the store we will be opening.

Christmas is our theme - so think mince pies, Christmas decorations and hot chocolates! Your first task is to get your thinking hats on and let me know your ideas for our business.

What should we sell in the shop?

What should we serve in the cafe?

What should our store look like - do you think decorations are important?

Let me know - it's probably best to write your ideas down in a letter.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Kind regards,

Mark Chrimbo

Now it was time to really get started. We have lots of work ahead of us. First, we decided to write our ideas in a letter and send them to Mark Chrimbo. Here are some of our letters we wrote.
