Helicopter Landing
Here at Liverpool College, we approach careers education with gusto. Why talk to someone about careers in the RAF – when you can show them and quite literally blow them away!
This week, the Defence College of Air & Space Operations from the RAF delighted pupils from KS1 all the way to KS5 when it landed a helicopter in the middle of the school field and invited pupils to explore inside. The careers event with a difference included a guided tour around the helicopter and a glimpse into the unique engineering that created the impressive aviation creation. Arranged by Mrs Doran, four pilots landed with the helicopter and throughout the day, pupils across every key stage were invited to attend. The captain of the helicopter, Flt Lt Connor Frampton helicopter, was on hand to give cockpit talks and wow the students with inside information about how to fly it. The entire of Ch9 were scheduled workshops to talk to the pilots and take phots inside the craft, with the day especially designed to help them make informed decisions in the coming months when they need to decide upon a CCF section to specialise in. The wonderful event ended with pupils watching the helicopter depart. I have no doubt the day elevated the children’s spirits also, raised their expectations and lifted their understanding of careers opportunities within the RAF to new heights.

Liverpool University STEM day
Chapter 9 scholars were invited this week to attend Liverpool University for a celebration of STEM. The event was arranged by the Faculty of Science and Engineering and took place in the superb central teaching libraries within the University campus. Pupils participated in multiple different events including bionic engineering, creating hydrogel sensors in molecular gastronomy and exploring AI technology in computer science. The sessions took place in the teaching laboratories and gave the pupils an opportunity to use university level equipment which they were extremely impressed by! They thoroughly enjoyed this part and were able to take their creations home with them. The day ended with a careers talk from one of the lecturers where pupils were given various STEM jobs and asked to research from the prospectus the route from GCSE to getting that job. The pupils were a credit to the school and it was wonderful to see them realise the wonderful opportunities open to them if they embraced the world of STEM.

Julius Caesar visits Liverpool College
Chapter 5 were surprised this week when Julius Caesar dropped in to take a lesson on The Romans. Julius started by telling the pupils all about his life and the pupils were able to place him on the hotspot and ask him questions. The fabulous event brought to life the new Chapter 5 History topic and the pupils ended the event by writing notes for a biography about Julius Caesar.

Chapter 5 Roman Day
Chapter 5 pupils enjoyed a fabulous Roman day on Monday, when the team from History Alive visited Liverpool College. To start the day, the children were treated to a highly interactive play which introduced The Romans topic, including teaching pupils about Emperors, Boudica and the types of entertainment enjoyed in a Colosseum. A gladiator marched in to talk about warfare techniques and a Roman lady took the children on a guided tour of Roman baths, starting in the tepidarium through to the fridgidarium. Moving back in time, the school was transported to Hadrian's wall and put on sentry duty to look for invading Celts. The fun did not end there - all pupils then took part in two works - one exploring gradients in aqueduct half pipes and another learning Roman dancing. Our thanks to the Wilton Trust for arranging this fabulous event.
