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.
