  We were pleased to welcome Lea Hampton back to the school to work with Year 2 and Year 5. On this visit, Lea brought with her local employers to meet the children to talk about jobs. Two lucky children won vouchers to Costa! 

  Thank you again Lea. The children have learnt so much this term from having the 'Jobs in a box'.

• Visit from our local fire brigade

  Thu 10 Oct 2019 J Kolbucaj
  Following a fire in the village, the fire brigade came to visit the children to explain about fire safety and their job. They brought with them their fire engine so that the children could enjoy spending time talking to the firemen and climbing inside the cab after school. 

  

• Jobs in a box

  Fri 27 Sep 2019 J Kolbucaj

  We were delighted to welcome Lea Hampton back to our school for a second year. Lea came in thanks to funding from the 'National Careers Week'  to spend time with children from both KS1 and 2. 

  Lea brought with her a careers box to share with the children. The box contained costumes, props & profile cards that supported different roles within the Housing Industry.  The roles included a mix of employed and self employed roles, challenging stereotyping.  The children in the different year groups enjoyed the different activities they were presented with.

  Lea has left the box in school for two weeks to allow the children time to enjoy trying to work in the different jobs through role play and reading the scenario cards. We will be in touch with Lea to tell her how we used the box and we will be welcoming more visitors linked to 'National Careers Week' in the near future.

  We were extremely proud of the children who attended the Holocaust Memorial Trust service at the Captains Club and later at the memorial at the Quomps today.
