The
annual year 12 Monopoly Challenge on Tuesday 16th July
2019 proved the current year 12 are a very competitive year
group who enjoyed finding ingenious ways of gaining the necessary
points to win.
Armed with various soft toy mascots, six teams embarked on a day of
discovery around London ably supported by Mr Cripps, Ms Nandra,
Mr Ladva, Ms Patel, Mr D’Souza and Ms Saroya. Thankfully the sun
shone and this helped generate the enthusiasm for the tasks ahead. The
winning team ‘Gangsters’, received a £20 voucher each presented at
the end of year assembly. Well done to all the students who took part.
It really was a fun day.
Sharan Saroya (Post 16 – School Improvement Team)
“The monopoly challenge was a fun and
interactive way to explore London. The
challenge helped to develop problem
solving skills and the art of prioritising.
The challenge also helped our team to bond
together and make cherished memories and
friendships”.
(Team GANGSTER)
“It was an entertaining
experience teaching us
how vital time management
and leadership are to
group projects and how
good communication
is key in all aspects of
teamwork. Other than
that we discovered how
homelessness and poverty
is still a big issue in our
society which really made us feel like that it is our duty to contribute
in making this issue highlighted and help as much as we can”
(Team WOW)
“It was an amazing day and
we had so much fun. It was a
rare experience and we went
to so many places in one day
it was incredible. I really
enjoyed this experience
because we were allowed
to travel around London
alone and had a chance to
bond with other people. We
strengthened as a team and
did fun, unique and exciting challenges.”
(Team MONO--OLAF)
“The monopoly challenge was so
exciting. I really enjoyed today’s
trip because we got to do some fun
and amazing challenges with some
amazing people. We would never get
an opportunity to do it elsewhere. We
all had a great time and took lots of
pictures. It was a bit tiring because
of the running, but we all had that
competitive attitude which motivated
us to complete these challenges. I had
some hilarious conversations and will
never forget this experience”.
(Team CHIMP)
“I had a great day. We had
lots of fun. We looked after our
teddy really well. It was a great
experience, we managed to see
lots of London attractions as
well as eat lovely burgers. I
have learnt both navigating
and life skills. Going through
London helped me learn around my area and discover new places both
to visit and potentially work. Today was fun because I was in a large
group and London is great sightseeing area. We enjoyed our teachers
company. Hopefully we can do it again”.
