World of Work, Enterprise Day & First Aid Course!

On the May 17th, Year 6 started an exhilarating week! We had so many extra-curricular activities. These included: a World of Work Day, a First Aid Course and last but not least we had the fantastic, politics based, Enterprise Day!

The first project we had was the wonderful World of Work, where many professionals offered their precious time to come into our school and help us explore their job role. The professions consisted of: a pilot, a flight attendant, a solicitor, an artist, a nurse, a police officer, a fire-fighter and many more (even a teacher from our school!). We learned a lot  - the best thing was that having a professional job is very exciting: you meet new people every day! A few of us then created an outstanding presentation on the different jobs and scarily presented this to the rest of the class!

Next, we took part in a challenging First Aid Course – led by an expert first aider from St John's Ambulance - which required great focus and determination. We learnt how to treat an unconscious casualty as well as heal minute and large blood or burn wounds. Additionally, we researched lots of poisons and how to cure them or prevent them from entering our bodies. Finally we discussed what triggers asthma attacks and how to help somebody if they’re suffering from it. The best bit was that

we also got to perform CPR on a dummy.

Last but not least, the whole of Year 6 took part in a political Enterprise Day. This involved us become politicians and trying to win as many votes as possible for our newly created party. We had to do all sorts of tasks including: making our own rosettes, creating our own party colours, creating a party name, writing a manifesto and delivering a speech to the rest of the class so we could win as many votes as possible. Whoever won the most votes became the ruling party and could pick the new prime minister!

In conclusion, Year 6 had a fantastic week: we participated in many magnificent projects! Everyone enjoyed it massively and would wish to do it all again!
