I took my Year 6 out for another trip today – to the local ASDA superstore. The theme of the day was planning a future career. We started by interviewing members of staff within ASDA before coming back into the training room and presenting the information. In the afternoon we looked at the different skills each job requires and linked that into our jobs for the future. Finally (and this was the most exciting part for the children) we went for a walk ‘behind the scenes’ at ASDA including the bakery.
What was great about this trip is that it was free, in walking distance and ASDA have a number of ‘themed days’ for schools. We looked at presentations and interviewing, but there was also healthy food, packaging which we could have focused on.
So if you haven’t already been to your local supermarket – get in touch with the Event’s Co-ordinator and pay them a visit.
