This week, year 3 were visited by a paramedic and a zookeeper as part of careers week. During their talks, the children learnt all about the skills needed for both of these jobs. The children were also able to ask both the paramedic and zookeepers lots of great questions.

As a follow on activity, the children created job adverts for a paramedic and a zookeeper. They had to think carefully about the skills needed for both jobs.

We had a lovely day celebrating world book day on Thursday. We focussed on the book ‘The Adventures of Beekle’ and focussed all of activities around what our imaginary friend might look like and where they might live. In the afternoon, we picked a book from the library and shared the story with year 2 children.

To celebrate safer internet day, we watched a live stream all about AI. It covered: what it is, where it gets the information from and how I can be safe whilst using it?

In class, we carried the discussion on by talking about voice assistant devices that we may have in our house and how they are powered by AI. We spoke about how to be safe whilst using them such as the information that we should and shouldn’t share.

We used the slogan ‘Stop, Think, Ask’ when thinking about how to be safe.

For our activity, we created a poster to help others to remember how to be safe whilst using AI, especially when using voice assistants that they may have at home.
