Aspiration Week - Time to go and seek our dreams…

In our school, we had a special week called ‘Aspiration Week’ where we invited visitors in, with different careers, to inspire us! They shared their life experiences and their career path with us so that when we grow up we know the options that are available to us in our careers.

Lots of people gave their time to come in and talk to us. In Year 6, we were lucky enough to listen to many visitors: a mechanical engineer, John Torley and an apprentice engineer, Robert; a lady from the CID, Rona Roberts; a sports journalist from Talk Sport, Dom McGuiness; a BBC Operations Manager, Helen; an expert in Coding, Kevin Howson; Everton in the Community coaches. They all shared what they had to do as part of their job and gave us some advice.

We learned that we should try our best to follow our dreams and try to choose a career that we love (as it won’t seem like work then!). All of our visitors said that all our lessons in school are important and we should work as hard as we can.

At the end of the week, we (the whole school) all dressed up as the career we hope to have. In our year, Year 6, we had a range of different jobs: scientists, dance teachers, police, footballers, a make-up artist and many more. We celebrated all that we had learned during the week and it really has helped as we think about our future and how we can achieve our aspirations.

By Year 6

Celebration at St. John Bosco

 

All Year 6 were invited to St. John Bosco to celebrate being part of Liverpool Archdiocese along with other Year 6 pupils from the local pastoral area.

They took part in a variety of activities: art, music, prayer and they even created an altar cloth which will be used throughout the year.

 

Joshua:

I loved all the prayers and educational work there at St. John Bosco. I was I had lots of fun and I was curious to find out more. The staff put so much work in for each of us, especially Ann Quirk, their Chaplain.

 

Jolie:

We did lots of activities such as music with Mrs Jenkins and we spent time in the prayer room with Ann Quirk. In the prayer room we drew an earth onto blotting paper and then sprayed it with water to give it a lovely effect. We then drew around our hands and placed our hands underneath the earth, to show that we are caring for God’s marvellous creation.

 

Stephen:

It was a privilege to visit St. John Bosco as we learned a new song: ‘If I were a Butterfly’ and I was happy that I was chosen to sing in front of all those people. We loved the Liturgy that we all took part in at the end.

Edible Garden

 

Our Edible Garden is looking fantastic. We spent some time in there this week and we were so happy with all that has grown over the summer.

 

Our school and parish community helped to water and look after our garden while we were on our summer holidays. We are really grateful for the great work they did for us.

 

Thank you all.

 

Here is what we worked on this week:

 

Annmaria and Jamie

We planted green beans and peas; we managed to get ourselves all muddy but as the soil was soft, it wasn’t too bad. We also watered the plants when we were outside and we need to remember to keep water them every single day to keep them healthy.

 

Ellie Rhodes

WE all take turns to take care of all the plants and  we are looking forward to eating the ones that we can.
