Why work? , by Miss Stubbs
Date: 2nd Mar 2017 @ 5:32pm
Natalie Armstrong came in today to talk to the children about the world of work.
The children learned about what a job is and why people go to work. They discussed taxes and what they pay for in our society. Natalie explained the value of going to work and described employers expectations in the world of work. The children role-played how money travels through our communities. The focus was upon key transferable skills that the children would take with them through life and into the workplace when they are older.
A valuable life lesson, thank you Natalie.
