Our first group of Year 6 have completed their visits to the law firm “DWF”. It has been a fantastic experience and the children have developed their teamwork, communication skills and self-belief. Each morning they have joined the commuters on the train, giving them a deeper understanding of what the world of work is like.
Without giving too much away before our second group visit, here is a flavour of what we got up to:
During the first session, the children learnt about DWF, the law industry and had a tour of the office. Then, they considered what job they would like to do in the future and discussed the skills they would need for each occupation.
Then, during the second session, the children reflected on the importance of body language and how communication can be most effective.
During the final session, the children put all their learning to the test and had a mock-debate. The teams worked together to defend their ideas and passionately defend their viewpoint in-front of a visiting ‘judge’.
