Today I got up and had a shower. I set off to work at 8:40 and met Alanna and we went into the school.

      The principal met me in the corridor and explained to me that there was another teacher in the classroom I was working in doing teaching practise . She didn't want me to go to waste ,so,  if the teacher didn't need me I was going to have to change rooms. Luckily she needed my help and I was aloud to stay with the girls. Although it has only been 6 weeks I have grown to love the girls , they're so cute and kind. I have a sort of bond with all the girls now and get on well with them. 

       At the start of the day I put their pictures into folders for Mrs.B. I then began to make a time line for them out of pictures of themselves over the years, ribbon and card. They turned out really pretty in the end. This took a long time and it was now break time. We went to the staff room ( Eilise , Alanna , Daina, Roisin and I) and made hot chocolate and ate biscuits , was so nice! After break I cut up pictures and words for Mrs.C and then did two other art activities with the class.

        Firstly we did marble art. We got baking trays , filled them with water and played drops of marble ink into them. I mixed them and then helped the girls dip their umbrella drawings into the top of the water. They turned out amazing! While some girls were doing this the other girls were colouring in blank sheets of paper with crayon and then black water painting them, to show that crayon is waterproof!

       When the girls went home at 1:50 I then paired all their pencils , sorted out folder and stuck their timeline's and pictures up. I thought today was a really fun day because I enjoy doing art with the girls.

           

            

Book Fair!

Past the half way mark! , Yesterday I got organised for my six week of work experience.Today I woke up and was full of life! I went to school and greeted everyone with a smile and a 'good morning' as usually. It had now become our weekly routine. Meet in the corridor , talk , go to the classroom.

           The teacher said I could take it easy this week because I had such a hard week last week. I thought this was really kind of her and said I honestly didn't mind. She let me be the art teacher again and I set up the art table. This week the girls had read a book about Cinderella and their task was to design her dress for the ball. This was fun to do with the kids because I got to see their creative side. By the end we had long , short , multi-coloured , beautiful dresses to show!

            

            Half way through the day the Principal of the school came to me and asked me to help out with the book fair. This brought back all the memories of when I went to school and was so excited for the book fair! We were the organisers for the day! All the little girls came up with their money in envelopes and we had to find their books for them and sell them to them. Sometimes the girls would buy books they weren't supposed to and we had to make sure this didn't happen. It was a fun day working with money and helping the girls ! 

               Today has been one on the best days I hope next week will be too!

Yesterday I got my outfit and lunch organised for today. I woke up and got ready at 8, I was sick the night before and was dreading today I didn't want to be a nuisance so I was strong and went to work. It was a winter morning and the temperature was in the minus'!. I went to the school and met the four girls in the hall , we said our 'good mornings' and then went to our classrooms.

            The teacher said hello and told me what we would be doing for the day , she told me how I would hate her by the end of the day with the work she was about to give me! haha She then explained that her and Mrs. Acton needed to rule , line and number 120 copies for the girls! Myself and my workmates faces dropping and we laughed in nervousness! The teachers were reasonable and said they were so so sorry but they had to be done , they apologized all day and said that if we got too tired we could give up.

             Myself , Eilise and Daina took to the job like a duck to water and did as many was we could. At first we were thinking that the job would be quick enough and wouldn't matter at all , two hours later we were proven wrong. Our hands were falling off but we were determined to get the job done. We spent the whole day doing the copies and at the end the teachers said they'd never put us through that again! The teachers were so grateful for the work we had done , I really felt a sense of achievement!
