Rachel, a florist at The Flower Bee, came to visit us to tell us about her job and what it was like to start her own business. We heard how she uses a lot of maths and art within her job. We even got to see her put together an arrangement to deliver the next day. We asked lots of questions and couldn’t believe all the names of the flowers. She left us with some flowers of our own at the end. Lots of us like idea of helping in her shop when we are old enough.

Primary 1 were delighted to welcome Leon’s Dad Henry to class today. He talked to us all about his career as an animator. We got to see some of the animations he has made and he explained some of the different jobs he gets to do.

We really loved it when he showed us how to make a simple stop-motion animation about a cat. It was very funny and has inspired us to have a go ourselves!

Today Tom and Evan’s Mum Jo came to tell us all about her job as a paramedic. She showed us some of the equipment she has to take with her when she gets a call out with her team member. We got to try on her helmet and hi-vis vest and she showed us how to put on a bandage.

Then came the really exciting bit…the ambulance! We got to climb inside and have a good look around and then she showed us the lights and siren.

yesterday we had Leo’s Dad in to talk about being a vet.

He talked about the different kinds of animals he looks after and has even looked after a Lion when he worked in a different country!

We think we are going to make our own Vets surgery in our home corner after the holidays.

Thank you Mr Gardiner-Roberts!

This afternoon Ms Lea came to talk to us about being a paramedic. She even brought her Ambulance!

She talked to us about why some people would need to go in an ambulance and what are some of the things she does to help people.

She had bandages, hat hard, a special uniform and syringes to show us – she even left some items for us to play with!

We then went outside to have a look inside the ambulance, we got to have a go in the front, lie on the bed in the bag and have a turn of the heart monitor!

Lots of the boys and girls now want to be paramedics no!

Thank you Ms Lea!

Today we had a visit from Dr Gibson who spoke to us about her job of being a doctor.

We had a range of activities to explore from reading our blood pressure, prioritising health issues,  to using our knowledge of maths to work out medical prescriptions. It was great fun!

Bailey even made links with medicine and algebra!
