The day was fast and furious, sometimes stressful (just like the real working world!) and hugely exciting – for students and teachers!
"The day was greatly enjoyed by the children and they all took the task seriously and leant about the real world. Very well prepared and carried out at a level just right for our children. It was great to have the volunteers from 'real' business environments," remarked one teacher.
It engaged the pupils in problem solving and working to tight deadlines. It bought numeracy and literacy to life in a practical, hands-on way and also gave them experience of working with business people and an opportunity to discuss careers.
A pupil's comment, "Working in a company isn't just about the money, it's also about teamwork and fun. I have really enjoyed today and I hope that in the future this will be what a real job is like. Thank you so much Jo and SATRO."
