GOING BANANAS!!

Our Unit 6 provocation was based around the growing of bananas ( Plantation Owner ) packaging of Bananas ( colouring & cutting out of bananas  by Workers ), taking them to a Customs officer to be stamped IF they were OK ( Shippers), then preparing the shop to where customers could come to buy them.

This all sounds reasonable and it was, until the "pay checks" arrived after recess..........

 Agnes was the Plantation Owner and "boss" of this group of workers,

 

Alex had an interesting time keeping his workers going after a short time - they were ready for their "coffee break" , then thought about a STRIKE, until they found out they would not get any pay and  how would their wife & family like that!!

Perhaps one of the tricky jobs was the SHIPPERS as they needed to work with the Plantation Owners as well as take the bananas to the Custom Officer (Mrs T) who we did hear from Ryunosoke was "rather tough"!

Another Plantation Owner was Nina, she had girls working for her, and it was interesting how they got themselves organised!

Sanjiv was a"little bored" waiting for his workers to get some bananas rady so he decided to join them and started colouring and cutting too!

Last on the "chain" was the Sellers who were very enthusiatic and creative with their shop, at the very end of the morning they were keen to "sell" their bananas and many people were quite happy to buy them too!
