Discovering Careers in the U6

Firefighter, doctor, police officer and astronaut: no Friday it was the day of exploring professions in the U6 area! After a week of exploring various careers in class, the kids celebrated Career Day!
Excited, the future doctors and scientists gathered in the schoolyard, from where they started a tour of discovery across the campus to find out what jobs there actually are at the school apart from teachers. In the school office, nurse’s station, school administration and library, the colleagues lovingly prepared facts about their jobs in order to entertain and inform the children. The children learned many details about each profession; they conducted interviews, carried out experiments in the laboratory and treated patients.

A Career Day is an important day for the children, not only to understand what their parents do, but also to learn about different career opportunities in the world outside of school. There were many interesting jobs for the kids to learn about that day and they had a lot of fun learning with all the different costumes and props provided.
