Class Topic: Our local area. Local jobs

Hi we have had a wonderful week in primary 2. Our class topic has been on ‘Our Local Area’ and recently we have boon looking at local jobs.

We asked if any parents or carers would like to come into the class to tell us about their job, and we were very lucky to have lots of volunteers. We chose the names out of a hat and invited them into to our class on Thursday.

We prepared by thinking of  good questions to ask and even had a pretend interview with Mr  Campbell.

We had a Rope access technician, a very interesting job, that involves climbing tall walls and hills to making sure that they are safe for train to pass. We even got to see some of the safety equipment they use to do their job safely.

We also had a nurse that came in to tell us all the things that she does in her job and how she helps little boys and girls if they hurt themselves. It sounds like a tough job, where you need to know about lots of things, but we are very glad that we have these amazing people to help us.

We realised that all of the things we are learning in class will help us when we grow up and will use them everyday in our jobs whatever they will be.

We hope you enjoy the Easter holiday.
