This week, we had a visit from Lydia who owns and teaches at Euphoria Dance and Therapy. It was great having Lydia in telling us all about how she became not only a dance teacher but now owns and runs her own dance business. The children listened intently and asked some great questions. Each half term now we are going to have visitors as we explore lots of different careers.

Year 6 have had a great week in the kitchen! During our DT cooking journey we researched, designed and made our own pizzas. Part of the journey was to learn new skills and we focused on safely cutting and chopping ingredients using the claw and bridge grips. Linking to our careers curriclum, we talked about how the skills we learned during this journey could link to future careers. We watched a video about a sous chef who talked about his career path and the skills needed to do his job.
The children's finished pizza's looked and tasted amazing. We have some future chefs in the making!

As part of Boundary's work on careers, Year 6 enjoyed a morning working with Young Enterprise on their 'Learn to Earn' scheme. The children calculated the cost of their dream lifestyle and how much you would need to earn to live that lifestyle. We learned about the cost of living and the average starting salaries of different jobs in Lancashire. Then we discussed the importance of qualifications and the personal qualities and skills needed to do various jobs, which linked nicely with our Skills for Life.
