Aspirations Day at Middleton Primary
What an inspiring and fantastic day yesterday celebrating our next generation of workers. Prior to the day itself, the children worked within their classes learning about different occupations in modern Britain. The children were then invited to dress up as the occupation they wished to be when they grow up. They dressed up in a huge range of occupations including vets, firefighters, game designers, teachers, basketball players and BMX racers. The day itself was jam packed full of visitors inspiring our young people. The children had an assembly from a member of staff at the Leeds Rhinos to kick the day off. Throughout the day there were various workshops from our visitors. We were lucky enough to have an abundance of occupations share their stories and knowledge including a web developer, chemical engineer researcher, recruitment business owner, college tutors, nursery manager and a pharmacist as well as workshops and vehicle tours from the Police, Fire Brigade and Ambulance Service. In amongst all the visitors, the teachers also led sessions to further develop the children’s understanding of the skills needed to succeed in the world of work. We were so grateful to all our visitors for inspiring our children, the next generation. The feedback from the children was incredible and they were so much more informed about the potential careers ahead of them.
