Day two!

I was really looking forward to going on work experience again. so on wednesday the 3rd of october I returned to st. brigids primary school. This time I wasnt really that nervous because I knew most of the class from the week before. once again I saw a lot of friendly faces of teachers willing to answer any questions that I had. At ten past nine I went to my assigned class. all of the children said Hi when i walked in and all of their smiling faces made me smile. straight away I was put to work. I was given the task of making a robot out of cereal boxes that the children had collected. The robot was called robotot and was from a story that the class had been reading. My job was to take the girls down in groups of six to help me.I had break and lunch at the same time as the first week.I spent the whole day making the robot and decorating it. I was actually very proud of my robot. when the girls went home at ten to two I was given more folders and sheets to sort out.
one of the problems that I encountered was actually making the robot. It was very difficult to get the legs strong enough because the body was so heavy and the robot turned out to be about the height of me. another problem was that the children all wanted me to put their boxes in certein places but it wouldnt work so I had to try and convince them to put their box in a different place. The best part of the day was walking in in the morning and seeing all of the girls smiling up at me. The worst part of the day was when the legs of the robot broke and I had to build them again.

Day one!!!:)

On Wednesday the 26th of September  all of the TYs had their first day of work experience. I went on a trip down memory lane! I went back to my old primary school, St. Brigid's. Its was so fun.I started at 9.10am. At first I was a bit nervous bit I was really excited to find out what class I would be put in. At ten past nine, the principal Mrs pierce came to take me to my class. To my surprise I got put into senior infants! They are such a nice class. And their teacher, Ms. A., was there when I went to school and she was so nice and helpful. I also saw a lot of familiar faces of the teachers that taught me when I went to school there. The first task that I undertook was to swap the readers around so that all the girls had a reader that they hadn't read before. Then I was asked to number the lines in a pack of copies that Ms. A gave to me! I went for break at 10.35. luckily I wasn't the only TY student there. Two other girls from my class and also two other girls from different classes in the year went too so I wasn't alone. After break when i went back to the classroom Ms A asked me to take the girls down to the back of the room to the art table in groups of three and help them with the piece that they were working on. I had to paint the back of some jigsaw and Lego pieces and then the girls had to press them on a page in certain patterns.I had lunch from 12.10 until 1 o' clock. after lunch I continued with the girls at the art table. They went home at 1.50 but I wasn't finished until 2.50 so I stapled some  booklets together as Ms.A was going to be the next day and needed work to give to the children. I then was sorting some of their work into folders. overall I learnt a lot and had so much fun!:)
