30 Year 6 children from New Monument Primary School in Woking took part in a SATRO Junior Business Game on Wednesday 21st May.
The basic premise of the game is that the children are stationery companies for the day, manufacturing bookmarks, which they have to then sell to a discerning panel of buyers. They have to choose roles, decide on a company name and logo, manage their finances and negotiate orders for their companies whilst trying to learn to work with new people and meet various deadlines. Each team has a business person acting as a facilitator to guide, support and encourage them throughout the day.
Judging from the pupil's feedback, they had a superb day which definitely opened their eyes to the world of business. Here are a couple of comments about what they learned...
"I learnt that working in a business is extremely hard and you have to deal with a lot of money. We should appreciate what we have been given in this world."
"I learnt how to be a quality assurance manager and how to work really well in a team."
