P5/6 World of Work/ Science Week – Day 5

SSPCA

Today Chris from the SSPCA came to talk to us all about the job he does at the SSPCA. 
We learned about who to call if we are worried about an animal in our community. We then had the opportunity to pretend to be in the SSPCA and work in teams to answer calls from the public and decide the best thging to do in each situation. 
Again, we had so many interesting questions to ask our visitor. 

British Army 

We then enjoyed a visit from Mr Brooks who came to tell us all about his career in the Army. He showed us photographs, let us try on his hats and even showed us the casing from bullets that were fired during training exercises. 

NOVO Technologies 

Mr Wynne came  to talk to us all about Telecommunications. One of  the messages that we took from the session was the importance of TEAMWORK. and choose something that you love doing and turn it in to a career. 

P5/6 Science Week Day 4 – NXP Technologies

We were very excited to have Gavin Gall visit us  from NXP technologies to talk about his job as an electrical engineer.  We leared how computer chips are made and we had a look at some NXP chips. 
We learned all about the role his complany play in developing chips for cars.   We were set a challenge by Gavin to design software updates that we might use in our own chips for cars.
