Year 2 Careers Week

As part of Careers Week, Year 2 enjoyed visits from some very special guests who shared their exciting jobs with us.

We were fascinated to meet Tom, a British Airways pilot, who told us all about his daily role, the important safety checks he completes before every flight, and the many amazing destinations he has travelled to around the world. We even had the chance to pretend we were landing an aeroplane and were thrilled to try on his pilot’s hat!

We also welcomed a hairdresser called Sam, who explained what it’s like to work in a salon and shared some of the skills needed to care for and style hair. She told us that her favourite hairstyle that she has ever done was one for the Olympics!

 

The visits were a fantastic way to inspire our children and help them learn about a variety of careers. A big thank you to our visitors for giving up their time to make Careers Week so memorable!

Reception Careers Week – Zoo Keeper Visit

On Monday, Reception had a very exciting visitor as part of our Careers Week. Jacob, a Zoo Keeper from The Exotic Zoo in Telford, came to talk to us about his amazing job.

Jacob told us all about what he does each day, including cleaning the animal enclosures and feeding all the different animals. We loved hearing fun facts about some of the zoo’s residents, like Smudge the capybara, who enjoys eating fruit, vegetables and leaves, and Captain the parrot, who was full of personality.

The children were fascinated and asked lots of brilliant questions. Jacob inspired us by showing how caring for animals can be a fun and important job.Thank you, Jacob, for visiting us and teaching us so much.

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!!!!
