Farmer
We learnt about the different plants and animals and he told us funny stories about the sheep escaping.
Clinical Psychologist with premier league football teams
I liked learning about how the brain gets full and how Lewis helps to empty it.
I liked how Lewis explained how the brain works using a jar and water.
Enjoyed hearing from the clinical psychologist as we didn’t realise you could work with football teams like that
Former GB karate and former GB Taekwondo professional athlete
I liked that we met a world champion and he was very funny.
I liked that he has been in some Marvel films.
GCHQ
They cannot tell people about their work because they are spies.
I enjoyed learning about all the different jobs that they did.
We enjoyed coding and interacting with the robots
Using computers and having the opportunity to try part of the job role in the GCHQ presentation was really fun and engaging
Autotrader
She showed us lots of good pictures about her job.
I liked the horse drawn tram, it looked very exciting.
Creative director- music industry
It was so cool to learn he has worked with Ed Sheeran.
Nuclear engineer
We found listening to the nuclear engineer really interesting as we didn’t know anything about that job role
Financial services
Found it really interesting to find out the money you could earn for a range of different jobs and the training needed to do it
