🧑‍🏫 Inspiring Futures: Learning About Jobs with a Special Visitor from Nestlé

Feb 25th

🍫 Careers, Chocolate & Creativity! Sparrow Class Meet a Nestlé Business Manager

This half term in PSHE, Sparrow Class have been exploring the big question: “What jobs do people do?” As part of our learning about the many important roles in our community, we were very lucky to welcome another parent volunteer into school.
Today, we were delighted to welcome Kate, who shared her fascinating role as a Sales Business Manager at Nestlé. The children were full of curiosity and asked thoughtful questions such as “What is the best thing about your job?” and “How many people do you work with?”
Together, we explored the wide range of skills Kate uses every day, including teamwork, communication and great listening. The children were amazed to discover just how many different jobs exist within a company like Nestlé from farmers and lorry drivers to chefs, packaging designers and robot engineers! With Easter approaching, the children then enjoyed designing their own Easter eggs, thinking about exciting flavours, eye-catching packaging and creative artwork. As a very kind surprise, Kate also brought each child a small sweet treat to take home at the end of the day.

“The children loved hearing about the incredible range of jobs involved in getting chocolate from the farm to the shops. Kate really helped them understand how everyone’s role matters. We’re so grateful she shared her time and inspiration with us.”
