Careers Week

This week, we celebrated Careers Week. This event was taking place across all Ysgol Eirias feeder primary schools (Pen y Bryn, Cystennin, Llandrillo yn Rhos and Nant y Groes). In our school, it was organised by our Year 5 teacher, Mr Weigh and what a superb job, he did. There has been great enthusiasm from the pupils all week and most importantly lots of chatter about what they want to be when they grow up.

Throughout the week, we have been delighted to welcome a host of parents, grandparents, friends of the school, friends of friends and many others, who have come in to talk to all classes about their job. For each session, the children have been preparing questions and have completed a wide variety of work related activities. At the same time, all classes have been learning the essentials about managing money, in an age-appropriate manner.

The week culminated with children invited to come in dressed for the career they hope to have when they were older. (I’m not so sure it’s the greatest news that several members of staff came dressed for alternative careers!)

A massive thank you to Mr Weigh and the staff for their hard work in organising this event. And an even bigger thank you to everyone who gave up their valuable time to come in and inspire our children to think about the jobs they would like to do. This week many children may have taken the first step towards a happy and fulfilling career.
