Work Experience.. Day 2

Today was my second day in Work Experience in the Childrens Circle Montessori in Celbridge. I wasn't as nervous this morning because I knew the layout of the day generally. I met the children at the corner of the entrance and walked in with them. I had to take all their coats and bags and put them on the cupboard. We then went off and played abit with the jig-saws and lego etc. I then had to help two children with their numbers and letters. We then did some sounds. I had to get lunch ready and give it to the children. When we finished lunch the children practiced their songs and poem for the summer show in May. They were all really good. Tomorrow we are painting so Ill have to wear old clothes !!

Work Experience... Day 1

This week, 27th February - 2nd March We have work experience. My work experience is in a Montessori because I love working with Children. I work from 8:30am - 12:30pm. I was really nervous but slightly excited because there was only going to be 10 kids. I left home at 8:20am and met the supervisor at the door. When I walked in all the children took a shine to me and thought it ws great to have someone else to play with. I started by making jig-saws and making necklaces. I had to help feed some children at lunch time.
I really enjoyed my first day and think I will be more relaxed and less nervous. I am really looking forward to tomorrow.

Work Experience............. Day 4

Today I had to help restock the library and help the junior infants paint patterns. They are all really cute and are always saying how lovely you look!! At lunch I had to mind 4th class while the teacher was having lunch. After Lunch Ms.S, the teacher of 6th class wanted me to give a talk to 6th class on St.Wolstans. At first It was kind of awkward but when they started asking questions I was fine.

I can't believe it is Friday tomorrow !! For once in my life I can say 'I don't want it to be Friday' :(

Work Experience.............. Day 2

Day two of Work Experience is over !! I felt so much better going in today because you knew where you where going and had a timetable. This morning I helped tidied up the hall after a mass last night. After I had to clean up the P.E room with Meg and if I may say so myself its GLEAMING. After lunch we went to a 6th class creative writing class but they were doing a test so I did some work for the teacher on the Student council elections. I had to cut out 480 slips of individual pieces of paper!!! Meg was in the Junior class so I was on my own. Ms.F had a meeting in her office so I did my job in the staff room with the Caretaker, Dessie who I had a good aul chat with an the cleaner !!!! It felt great for them to welcome me and include you in conversation. At lunch we went for a walk. After lunch Me and Meg had stampedd history books with the school logo and we delivered them to the classes. After this we went to Ms.C class to help them with the netbooks. And that was my day. I had a great day and was sooo sick and can't wait for tomorrow.

Work Experience... Day 1

Thank god day 1 of work experience is over. I really enjoyed it. I was a bag of nerves going in. I met Meg at the corner and we went in together( T.G or else I wouldn't have known where to go...) We met our Supervisor who showed us the new school and then set us to work with the Junior Infants. I was painting Families with my class while Meg was reading Stories!! After Lunch I was in another room reading books to the kids. I had to mind 2nd Class while the teacher was on Yard duty.
