💡✨What would you like to be when you grow up?✨💡
That was the question the children at James Knott have been thinking about during careers week. They have had several special visitors during the week and really enjoyed hearing about their jobs, in particular they loved hearing about nursing and midwifery from our governor Sarah and exploring all of the jobs people do at Asda from Amanda. Everyone dressed up for their dream job and we were blown away by the huge array of aspirations the children have. Scientists, pilots, vets, nurses, doctors and surgeons. Artists, beauticians, builders, chefs and teachers. Footballers, dancers, athletes, astronauts and emergency services. We even had a paranormal hunter! Keep dreaming big and putting your love in action James Knott, the sky's the limit! ... See MoreSee Less
