Future Inspirations Week
Week of 19th May will be Future Inspirations Week.
As part of our commitment to inspire our children we will be introducing a Future Inspirations week. This week will be a week for our children to hear about lots of different jobs and career paths that they might consider for their futures. Research has shown that it’s never too early for children to be thinking long term. Obviously, it is difficult as many jobs our children may do in the future haven’t even been invented yet!!
We are asking for your help. We would like you to give up half an hour of your time to come into school and speak to the children regarding your job and how you got there.
We are looking at lots of different industries, the more the better!
If you could spare half an hour/ an hour to come into to talk to the children, we would be really grateful. You might be able to do an Early Years talk and one for the older children if you can spare an hour.
Early Years
In Early Years we will be asking the speakers bring in an item that symbolises what they do. This will be the starting point for the speakers in EYFS and this will allow the children to ask questions during the 15/20 minute talk. We will then take a photo of the speaker and the item for the careers wall in Early years.
School talks
A short introduction into your job, your journey of how you got there, and what you do in your job. Followed by some questions from the children. You might want to bring some items from your job to show them or some photos we could put on the interactive whiteboards/ links to your websites etc.
In Year 1/2 – We are looking for speakers from Health and Social care/ Public Sector/ Police/Fire/ Ambulance/ Education /Councils etc.
In Year 3/4 – We are looking for speakers from Building/ Environmental/ Transport and Technologies etc.
