Send a Cow’s Harvest Challenge

Your task is to put together a pitch to persuade the Dragons that they want to invest in the Growing Kit of Support.

You have one week to put together your pitch.

You will make your pitch to the whole school in front of the Dragons (your teachers).

They will decide which class made the best pitch.

The class who did the best pitch chooses the fundraising activity for the whole school ( cake sale, mufti, disco, car wash, coin trail…).

To make your pitch to the Dragons you need some very strong powers of persuasion.
