As part of our Careers Related Learning with the Skills Builder Partnership, Year 5 took part in a project asking them to become Imaginative Inventors. The children were set the task to plan an invention that would help support sustainability and support environmental causes. The children worked hard, using the eight key skills of listening, speaking, problem solving, creativity, staying positive, aiming high, leadership and teamwork to create their designs.

Twenty children had the opportunity to meet with Clara and Dave from Wates, a construction company. The children had to pitch their plans to the experts who gave some advice and shared their thoughts on the designs. The children also asked Clara and Dave some questions about working in the construction industry.

The children worked very hard. Take a look at what they got up to!
