Day Three

Once again I was really looking forward to going to my work experience. On wednesday the 10th of october, I went to St. Bridgets primary school. It was really nice to be back because everyone was so welcoming once again. At ten past nine I went straight to Ms Actons senior infants and at first I was just listening to what they were learning when they were told that they would be doing activities the children got really excited. I was asked to watch over and help one group who were playing giant snakes and ladders. all went rather well and there were no fights between the girls about silly things. after break to my suprise, the two senior infant classes went on a nature walk to castletown. while out on the walk i realised how difficult being a teacher of senior infants was. the class got over excited and wouldnt stay in a straight line and they would not listen if I told them to stop messing. when we got back lunch had already started so instead of going to the staff room for lunch i had to go to the computer room because there wasnt enough room for everyone in the staff room. after lunch I was given the task of taking the girls down one by one to practice their reading. however that didnt go as smoothly as I thought. ms acton had to go for a meeting so I had to look after the class for about half an hour. They were supposed to be doing work but they kept getting out of their seats and fighting over a rubber(as they all share one rubber). however I eventually got them to listen to me.

one problem that I encountered was trying to keep the girls undercontrol on the walk. They wouldnt listen to me for ages but I eventually got them to do what they were supposed to be doing.Thee best part of the day was when the girls paid attention to what I was saying on the walk and the worst part of the day was when they wouldnt listen to me when ms acton was gone to her meeting.
