We were very privileged to have Ms Emma Eaton an ex student of Herdsmans Cove visit our school to talk to Mr V's 5/6 class on Monday morning.

Emma attended our school over 25 years ago and has fond memories of her time here.  Emma loved to read books and always felt safe coming to school.  From a young age, Emma wanted to be a scientist, but she never really knew if that was a career she could even have.  Emma followed her dream and has now got a doctorate in research science.  She is working at the laboratory for Nyrstar and makes sure that emissions from the company are safe, undertaking lots of scientific testing.

The students had a series of questions prepared for Emma and were very engaged in the conversation.  Mr Vandermey is focussing on biographies in English this term and thought it would be a great idea to interview a member of the community for some inspiration.  Thank you so much for coming in Emma!
