Careers Day Inspires Pupils from Kingsbury with Exciting Visits and Community Heroes

On Friday, pupils had an unforgettable Careers Day, filled with inspiring activities and hands-on experiences that brought the theme of “People Who Help Us in Our Community” to life. The event was packed with engaging opportunities, including a visit to Little Lane Role Play Village, encounters with real-life heroes, and plenty of imaginative fun.

The day began with a trip to Little Lane Role Play Village, where the children stepped into the shoes of various professionals. From doctors and chefs to shopkeepers and mechanics, the interactive setup allowed students to explore different roles and imagine themselves in future careers. The immersive environment sparked creativity and excitement, with many children sharing their newfound aspirations.

Back at school, pupils participated in activities centred around community helpers. A highlight of the morning was a visit from the local fire department. The children were thrilled to see a real fire engine parked on the school grounds, and the firefighters gave a live demonstration of their equipment. A special moment for many was getting to use the powerful hose under the firefighters' guidance.

The excitement didn’t end there—officers from the West Midlands Police stopped by, bringing along uniforms and equipment for the children to try on. Wide smiles and enthusiastic giggles filled the room as students posed as mini-police officers. The interactive session also included stories about the daily duties of police officers and the importance of keeping our communities safe.

In the afternoon, the school welcomed a surprise guest: Blade, the mascot of the Air Ambulance Service. Blade's visit brought an air of adventure and wonder as the mascot explained the vital role air ambulances play in saving lives. The children were captivated and asked thoughtful questions about Blade’s work.

To add a personal touch to the day, every child came dressed as who they aspire to be when they grow up. 

Careers Day was a resounding success, inspiring the students of 1A and the whole school to learn more about the roles that make our communities thrive. It was a memorable day that not only educated but also empowered children to dream big!
