This activity will be spread over at least a week. It combines skills from both the language and ICT programmes of study and is ideal for years 5 and 6.

After introducing what an auction is, pupils produce a professional-looking auction catalogue and then hold their own auction with a bid limit of 50p.

The spreadsheet is set up to automatically analyse and graph sales patterns in the auction.

The session ends with an antiques quiz.
