Leswalt and Kirkcolm Primary 7 pupils both went along together to learn more about the World of Work and options available at the local campus in town.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

While at the college, our senior pupils took part in 4 different rotations;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0STEM \u2013 activities focussing on Science, technology, engineering and maths<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Meta skills \u2013 what they are and what skills are required for different occupations<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Shark Island \u2013 a problem solving activity in which pupils had to collaborate and communicate<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. A tour of the college, showing all the different courses available ( including catering, childcare, beauty, hairdressing, mechanical engineering and construction)\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All the activities really got everyone thinking about the wealth of possibilities for life after school \u2013 including the skills needed for these jobs.\u00a0 As well as coming together with Primary 7 pupils from other schools we were re-untied with the teacher formally known as Mrs F, from Leswalt Primary.\u00a0 She was on hand to lead one of the activities and have a chat with some of the familiar faces from our schools.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    After a snack stop midway through the activities, all came together at the end for a quiz \u2013 with the grand prize of a \u00a310 Greggs voucher.\u00a0 Sadly , none of our crew were lucky enough to win this, but they did have all of the correct answers ( but their name was not pulled out the hat!)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    All and all it was\u00a0 a fun morning, focussing on what the future could bring.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
