Hey :) I haven't blogged in a while because Blogger wasn't working properly on the school computers for some reason.. But I'm back! :D So last week was work experience, and I went to a Primary School which was really good! I was in the Junior infant class for the week. I actually forgot how often little kids tell on each other to the teacher! But It was really good because the kids were all really nice and all talked to me a lot, the teachers and staff were also really nice and made me feel really welcome.
Each day I got in at around 9am which is when the children all arrived; every morning the kids played games for about half an hour, and each morning I sat with a table and played a game with them. I don't think I can ever look at the game "Red Dog Blue Dog" the same again!
Then, they would start work and I would do different things everyday, sometimes I would get photocopying, sometimes I'd sort out their homework into their folders or sometimes I'd just help out by going around.
Each day at lunch I would go out to yard at the same time as the kids, I'd just kind of walk around and talk to all the children and listen to stories about who push who.
After school sometimes I went home with the Juniors at 1:40pm, but sometimes some of the teachers in the older classes asked us to help out with putting up or taking down displays on the notice boards around the school, which sometimes took quite a while and we wouldn't be leaving until about 3pm.
Overall, I had a really good time, the school were really welcoming and I learnt a lot about being a teacher that you didn't see when you were younger and in school and it was good to see and maybe now I'll consider a career in teaching.
Well that's all for now,
Byee
Aoife :D
