NOOOO Last day :(

Well it was the last day of work experience, didn't want it to end :( Still got some jobs to do. Since it was the day of the parent teacher meetings i had a lot to do! I stuck up their owl drawings and pictures on a very high beam! Which i nearly fell of the chair so many times! I had to fix the letters so they would be straight and again put their art work into their art folders which i made! :') For their Christmas play they went to the other junior infants class and practiced their singing and dancing. And i got the job of cutting out their stars that were covered in glitter! therefore i got covered in glitter!! Was a great last day gonna miss them :')

Seventh day stuff!

Seventh day of work experience was great. :) Got some jobs to do like label their all their work books, that's over like 60 books! haha Had to take some girls and go over how to write certain letters. One girl keeps thinking that she has to teach me! Took a while to explain to her that its the other way around! Usual jobs included putting their work into folders writing dates and titles on their work. Was a good day :)

So much on the sixth day!

Sixth day of work experience was grand :) Got to put together their first writing books. Had to file all their drawings, pictures and what else. Also had to teach a girl some letters went fairly well! Don't think she'll forget how to draw a 'S' anyways! For P.E they danced to music from all over the world but had to make up the dance by them selves! Great/funny to watch. Then i went around helping them with their writing. The played many games like word tennis i laughed a lot at that! A girl kept shouting out elephant when they were on colours! Anyways.. great day :)

Book fair madness and sticky fingers on the fifth day!

Fifth day of work experience was great! Today was the book fair where each class get to spend some time reading and buying books. I was asked by some girls to read them a few stories, that went on for a while! Some of the usual jobs i got were sticking their work into their scrapbooks, went through so much glue! After lunch when i walked into one of the girls jumped up and said yay rowen's back! haha Then her and anther girl start swinging out of me like a tree, ah it was great fun! Interesting to see what will happen next week...

Fantastic Fourth day!

Fourth day of work experience was enjoyable! Gotten to know all the girls names now, great to get along with. This day was their photo day so they were all looking so cute! The set of jobs i got were to cute out their foot and hand paintings draw ghost faces on them and tie them up. I also had to take down their pumpkin pictures and sort out their drawings into folders. When they were waiting to get their photos i handed out books to them and read them to some girls. I think they were more interested in the pictures! Towards the end of the day i got to take control of the class and play a game with them. It was a weird feeling standing in the teachers spot because you're not used to it. Anyways it was great fun, they seemed to enjoy it which was the main part! :)

Day 3 is over!

Third day of work experience was great, full of laughter and smiles! Got a warm welcome from all the girls again! :) I finally got to teach some of the girls, i had to show some of them how to put a jigsaw together wow did that take a while..! I also got to teach some girls how to read words and tell them where you would find certain things. I made each a girl an art folder and arranged their sheets. For PE they did more ball control but with basketballs..balls were going everywhere! A lot of chasing balls going on! Had a few chats with the girls, they are always so bubbly and cheerful! :) Great experience so far. :)

Day 2 done and dusted!

So the second day of my work experience went well. I was with he same junior infant class, they were all excited to see me come in which i wasn't expecting! The teacher had a set of jobs for me carry out which were to sort out there work and glue it into their scrap books, that took a while! Then i had to go around and help them with their work. In PE they did tennis and ball control. I got all the equipment ready and cleared it away when they were done. The experience so far its great,  im getting a good insight into what teachers do.  Looking forward to next week. :)

First day of work experience...me nervous pffft noooo!

Well we finally began our first work experience placement. I went to Scoil Naomh Brid primary school. You could say i was a bit nervous but also excited to see all my old teachers! As i got settled i relaxed and enjoyed the day.

First the principal met with us and told us where we would be going and showed us around the staff room. It was different eating in the staff room around the teachers. I was put in to help out with junior infants. They are adorable! I had many jobs like to label their books, sort out their art folders and help them with their work and in pe. The teacher was so friendly and helpful couldn't of been any nicer. :) I got to have a chat with some of my old teachers and they still remembered me! It was great to be back glad to be there for a while. At the end of the day i helped the girls with their coats and bags and also tidied the classroom. i enjoyed the day and looking forward to next week. :)

Yes, this is me from junior infants! Scoil Naomh Brid!
