Work Experience - Day 5

 

Today was my last official day at my work placement.  It’s a pity the placement was only a week long.  But I will be going back there after half term to help as a volunteer.  It will be good to see everyone again.

 

 

This morning, the children had “Show & Tell” where they all had to sit in a circle and share news and show things to the class.  That was an easy job for me.  All I had to do was ask “What’s your news you’d like to share?” and then respond appropriately.

 

 

Then after break I gave the students a spelling test.  That went really well.  It took about twenty minutes.  We watched a recording of last year’s Christmas play, which was fabulous!  It was based on Lionel Bart's musical "Oliver!".  Then, all afternoon I had a song stuck in my head... "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" from "My Fair Lady", LOL!

 

 

The afternoon passed by very quickly.  We had a birthday party as it was three pupils’ birthdays in the half term holidays.  They will be eight years old.  We all had a slice of cake, and they had a lucky bag which contained some sweets.

 

 

At the end of the day, Mr. Rees told the class my news that I would be returning after Half Term.  Some screamed, some shouted, some even jumped around the classroom.  Clearly by that reaction, my visit had a positive impact on the children.

 

 

I have had an awesome week at theprimary school.  I would like to thank Mrs. Evans, Mr. Taylor and all the other staff for this wonderful opportunity I had.  I had a marvellous time, and I can’t wait to go back to visit soon.
