Parents we need your help!

During the week of the 11th of May we will be having a World of work week, where the children will have the opportunity to participate in lots of fun activities based on different jobs in the world they live in. This allows the children to gain knowledge about jobs they might want to have when they grow up and allows them to build life long skills.

We always like to involve our families in this and we ask if any of you would like to come in and tell the children all about your job. The children love to hear about the different roles, the tools you use, the uniform you wear, the people you help, the products you produce or even see some photos of your workplace.

If this is something you would be willing to do then please speak to Sherrie and we will arrange a date and time that suits.

Thanks

As she begins to bring her project to an end she invites parents to join her for an hour on THURSDAY 19th MARCH from 9-10am to share information and techniques.
