Careers Week 2026

On Wednesday 8th July, Year 4 and Year 5 pupils had the opportunity to meet Melissa from Telford College, who works as a Schools Liaison Officer. Melissa visited to talk to the children about her role and the work she does to support schools and young people as they think about their future education and career pathways.

During the session, Melissa explained how she works with schools across the local area, helping pupils learn about further education opportunities and the wide range of courses available at Telford College. She shared information about college life, different career options, and the importance of developing skills and interests from an early age.

The pupils listened attentively and asked thoughtful questions about Melissa’s job, what a typical day looks like, and how she helps young people make informed choices about their futures. The talk provided an excellent opportunity for children to learn about a different career and gain an insight into the world of further education.

The visit was both informative and engaging, and the children thoroughly enjoyed meeting Melissa. We would like to thank her for taking the time to visit our school and inspire our pupils.

As a follow up, children created their own ‘passport’ for their dream job. We had a range of different jobs from painters to vets!

 







Black Country Living Museum

Y5 went on a trip to the Black Country Living Museum to enchance our understanding of the topic we are learning about – ‘Changes over time’. We enjoyed finding out about the different ways of life and the types of houses and shops that people in Victorian times would have be accustomed too. We even had a lesson at school where Mrs Penfold, Mrs Davies and our parent helpers got told off for their nail varnish!!!!










Extracts from our London Eye Mystery story

We have focused on the features of a mystery story. We wrote about a character that ended up in a different dimension after taking a ride on the London Eye! He had to tackle a strange maze and ended up finding a mysterious golden envelope which was addressed to the Prime Minister. The children ended the story on a cliffhanger……

Here are some extracts from their fabulous work!




Orbits!

Y5 are focusing on Space this half term and the children created their own models to show the orbits of the Sun, Earth and Moon!
