Last week we had the first of three Human Library events for Year 8 students this term. Sixty students in small groups interviewed a variety of Humans from the library shelves. As always, the Humans were very impressed with the thoughtful questions the students asked and the courtesy they showed to them.
Students were asked what was the most surprising fact they learnt...
“there are so many different jobs”
“you can go to Brookes University to study a Policing Foundation Degree”
“you could see your ideas become a reality as an engineer”
“you don’t necessarily need to go to university to work as a scientist”.
When asked to reflect on how the event could be improved they all wanted more time and more people to interview; a challenge we will have to try and rise to.
Year 10.
