As an extra practical activity, the children will talk to a class parent, school governor or head teacher to understand what their job entails. If appropriate, they can carry out research into a job role that they enjoyed at KidZania in computing lesson time.

There are two lessons which are one hour each. However, there is one more activity supplied for an extra lesson.

TEACHING RESOURCES

• Supplied Powerpoint presentation – Evaluation• Worksheet A – Personality Adjectives Worksheet• WorksheetB–SkillsProfileWorksheet• Worksheet C – Interview Worksheet • Link to Plotr - https://www.plotr.co.uk to carry out research into jobs they enjoyed at KidZania

There are two lessons which we have outlined which last one hour each.


LESSON 1

Starter Remind the children about their visit to KidZania and show photographs, if available, on your whiteboard of their visit.

20 mins Powerpoint slide 2 Remind children that a visit to KidZania helps children to realise their ambitions — what they would like to do in their working life in the future. Their visit has given them a taster of the different careers available and their preferences and skills in deciding what they would like to do.

Powerpoint slides 3-4 Thought-shower all the different job roles that they experienced at KidZania. Ask what kind of skills and abilities are required to carry out those jobs? (For example, to be a dentist, they need to know about science and the human body).

25 mins Powerpoint slide 5 Explain to the children that they are going to be thinking about themselves and what makes them who they are. They are going to examine their skills and interests and write about what they learned about themselves during their visit to KidZania.

Personality Adjectives Worksheet Ask the children to work in pairs so that they can ask a partner about themselves.TheyshouldfillinthePersonalityAdjectivesworksheet. They should then write a paragraph about themselves and what they learned about themselves during their visit to KidZania.

10 mins PLENARY Ask children to share adjectives about themselves and explain why they have chosen those adjectives. They should be supplying explanations and evidence about why they have chosen those words, based on their visit to KidZania.


LESSON 2

Starter Recap the previous lesson, asking children to talk with a partner about their favourite activity during their visit to KidZania.

20 mins Skills Profile Worksheet Pupils will evaluate and audit their skills for success and then come up with strategies to improve and develop. They will recognise that success depends on understanding what is required and acting upon this knowledge.

Children will be able to build on the careers knowledge gained at KidZania. They will play a careers game and then carry out research activities into different careers that they sampled at KidZania, to develop an understanding of how to achieve their ambitions in later life.

25 mins Computing Activity Powerpoint slide 7 Pupils will play the Careers Game on the PLOTR website: https://www.plotr.co.uk They will then research different careers that interest them based on their visit to KidZania.

10 mins PLENARY Powerpoint slide 8 Children will write on a piece of paper what job they want to do when they leave school. Put them in envelopes to reveal when they leave school!


LESSON 3

Starter Recap with the children the work they did on the computer and the research they did into different careers based on their experience at KidZania.

10 mins Powerpoint slide 10 Think about the kinds of jobs that people they know have. You will need to arrange for a classroom visit from a parent, governor or head teacher to talk about their careers. The children can ask them questions about their jobs, how they trained and what their job entails. This should be carried out as a whole class activity.

40 mins Interview Worksheet Interview between child and parent/governor/head teacher. Children will evaluate the job role of a parent/governor/head teacher to understand that careers require many skills that must be learned.

10 mins PLENARY Powerpoint slide 11 Children will gain an understanding of the different skills required to carry out a job.
