This week in primary five we were visited by three special people. This was all part of our working world topic.

First we were visited by Dr Ross Fairgrieve who told us all about his job as a paediatric anaesthetist in Glasgow.

He told us all the different types of doctors there are and he told us all about his journey to become a doctor. He said it was a long but fulfilling journey and he loves his job. The children were amazed at how Dr Fairgrieve and his team save so many lives each year. Quite a few of our children want to be doctors after this visit!

Our next visitor was PC Chris McQuade who came in to talk about his job with the police. He told us all about the training and how a police officer must be fast and very fit. He was amazed about how much the children knew about the world of work and the children thought he was the coolest police officer ever! Many of our pr 5 s are now thinking about a career in the police force.

Our last visitor was Mr Colin MacFarlane who is a youth work manager for the National YMCA. The children wanted to know if his job had anything to do with the song! He told them all about working for a charity and how the YMCA has made a positive impact in many people’s young lives. He even told us he has travelled all around the world doing his job. Sounds great fun!

We can’t wait to share all our learning with our parents at our assembly coming up this Friday.
