Today was a really enjoyable day!!
In the morning I called all the girls one by one up to my desk, where i drew around there hands! I then cut them all out.These were going to be used to make Halloween Art.
After this we did halloween art. We were going to make ghosts using
the girls footprints. Each girl came down to the back of the class were I
dipped their foot in the white paint and then pressed onto the black
page. then i washed their feet in a basion of warm water and dryed them
too! This took a while but it was great fun and the girls all really
enjoyed it. the ghosts turned out great
.
After we had finished making the ghosts,We did more art! Two by two
all the girls came to up to my desk and they did sponge painting. They
did the sponge painting on to their tree making Autumn leves using the
Autumn colours!
The rest of the day I helped the students with whatever they were doing and did any jobs the teacher gave me.
I really enjoyed the day again and gained a lot from doing art with the children! Cant wait till next week!!!!! (:
Wednesday the 10th of October day 3!
In the morning at 9.10, as per usual the junior Infants were doing activities! I walked around,helped and talked to them all!
Then I was asked to go to the 1st class! I went to the the first
class to accompany them and their teachers on a nature walk to Castletown. Each student brought a pencil, crayon and copy with them to
do a bark rubbing and sketch.
When we set off i was told to stay at the end of the line to keep
everyone in line at the back. During the walk i made sure everyone
stayed in there two and walked in a straight line following the rest of
the class. It was a very interesting experience being out on a
walk with the 1st class I learnt how to control and help the students on
there walk. It was also interesting working with an older class.
Then after this i went back to the Junior Infants and had my break.
After this the junior infants were going on a walk! so I set off with
them. I was at the back of the line. Their walk was shorter than the
first class. it was a different than then being with the 1st class, they
junior infants needed more controlling and looking after because their
were younger. But the Junior Infants probably enjoyed the walk more
because they had never been on a walk in school while the 1st class had!
The walks were great fun but tiring and cold!!! :) Over all the day
was great it was really valuable seeing how the girls acted outside the
classroom. :)
Couldn't wait till next week once again ;) :) ;)
This was my second day of work experience,I was really excited because my experience was really good last week!
When I went in the morning I meet the techer and the S.N.A again they
were lovely once again. When the students came in they began to work on
their colouring in the their workbooks So I walked around helping each
and everyone of them. then the techer asked me to go around to all the
girls and give them a sticker if they had finished and done well their
colouring.
After break, the teacher gave each of the junior infanta a paper rug.
There were lines on the page which they had to cut out. I gave out the
sissors to all the girls and they began to cut. Cutting and using
sissors was quite dramitic for the girls. Some had never used a sissors
before and a few girls started to use their left hands to cut even they
used their left to write! So myself, the teacher and the SNA walked
around and helped them.
After this we did art! Finger painting apples! this was a really good
experience for me because i hadnt experienced the girls doing art yet!
During this lesson the junior infants were actually very well behaved
and I walked helping again!
After lunch I was even jobs by the class teacher, which kept be busy!
I really enjoyed the day again but I was tried at the end! All the
staff that I encountered were really nice and helpful! I think I
performed well and did everythink that i was asked of me to the bes of
my ablity! Once again I couldnt wait till next Wednesday!
