Year6
Dragons’ Den Pitches
Every May, pupils
have their own special
public speaking
opportunity. Year 6
found themselves
doing their ‘Speaking
and Listening task’ in
an unusual way this
year: in lockdown!
In their English
unit ‘Inventors
and Inventions’, we
challenged the pupils
to come up with their
own original invention
and, after being inspired
by clips from the TV show
Dragons’ Den, our budding entrepreneurs wrote a pitch to convince other people to invest
in their brilliant idea. The pupils then learnt about the features of
a good presentation before filming themselves delivering their speech. Mr Armstrong and Miss Broom were impressed by both the inventiveness of the pupils and the confidence of their pitches.
The Headophone
Hello my name is Lawrence, founder and CEO of
the Headophone. The Headophone is an amazing invention that I have been working on for many years. It works by placing a chip in your outer ear and then when you tap your ear, a holographic headset appears. The Headophone is unique and there is nothing else like it on the market.
The Headophone will be on sale for around £600, depending on the model. Our production cost is £200 per unit and we sell to retailers for £400. I am looking for an investment of £100,000 for 10% of my company, Headophone Limited, and am happy to answer any further questions you may have today.
