As part of our ‘World of Possibilities’ project we welcomed four visitors into school on Thursday of this week. The four ladies came to chat to us about lots of different jobs and encouraged us to think about the stereotypes sometimes associated with them. We often think of builders, architects and estate agents as men but we thought about how this is not necessarily the case. These are career paths open to everyone.

After a whole school assembly we all enjoyed a workshop where we thought about some of the key skills needed to work in the property and construction industry – focusing particularly on teamwork, oracy skills, creativity and developing ideas. We all designed our own buildings, created them using construction materials and evaluated them. What could we have done better?
