Over the last couple of weeks we have been doing some work on jobs and today the school celebrated a World of Work Day.

We brainstormed different jobs we could think of and here are a few of them.

Our jobs mind-map

We did homework researching jobs we are interested in doing, or jobs someone in our families do, and then taught the others in our class about these jobs.

Some results from our homework

We also prepared for our guests today by noting down some questions we wanted to find out about different occupations like the ones below.

Today there were lots of activities in school about different jobs. Here we are in the carousel, going round each stall learning about various jobs.

Speaking to the Police officers and trying out their handcuffs!

 

Learning about being a scientist and trying out the safety goggles!

  

Listening to different career options

We had lots of guest speaker sessions and heard from a dentist, a lawyer and some university staff about a variety of jobs.

Question an answer session with our dentist visitor

We now have lots of different ideas about what we might do for work when we are older and know that whatever we choose we must keep working hard at school! 🙂
