We were really lucky to have Mr Byrnes (Father of Sydney) come and talk to us about his job, as an asbestos surveyor. He told us about the different skills that are needed to do his job and what he did in school that helps him now. In fact he asked the class to work it out. These are the things they got right. Science, lots of numeracy, literacy, handwriting and ICT.
But best of all, Mr Byrnes brought in some of the very special equipment that is used to keep asbestos removers safe. Here we are trying on the masks.
A big thank you to Mr Byrnes. He made it really interesting and so the children asked lots of questions. We even touched on ecology and the responsibilities countries have to each other. Brilliant
