Day 5!

I cant believe we are already half way through our first term of work experience.
I was in the Montessori today,I helped the children do their work in the morning;which meant helping them count and say the alphabet and pointing at shapes and asking them what they were.After their work I helped them paint bats black for Halloween art.After art I wiped the table cloth down.Then I did jigsaws with a little girl and they sang a Halloween song for me.After we did some reading;and I read a few books for them.
After lunch I went into a new room and watched a small group of Montessori kids while the teacher helped the after school creche kids get changed out of their uniforms.Then I went back into the room I was in this morning and we did bowling!It was really fun;there were two teams and they sat in 2 lines on either side of the room and each of them had a go at rolling the ball at the pins.Then we took out the plastic kitchens and tea sets!Then just before I left they sang some nursery rhymes before having their snack.
I wont be writting a work experience bolg next week due to mid-term but I'll be writting again on november 7th,until then check out my TY blog!

Day 4!

Today during my fourth day of work experience I did lots of fun things.This morning I got to do some art;I helped glue ghosts onto black paper plates.Then I helped the toddlers wash their toys-or as they say give their toys a bath.Then  we learnt how to draw the number three and did some show and tell during circle time.One girl brought in a bouncy ball and everyone got a chance to bouncy it.Then after circle time the teacher read a story about Peppa Pig.
After lunch I was back in the same room,with the toddlers.We played with some toys for a while and then read some books.I read 'Chicken Licken' five times!Then after reading we played with Lego and I built a really cool robot and helped a little girl make a tower.
I had lots of fun today and am looking forward to next Wednesday.

Montessorri

Today was my third day of work experience.I was upstairs in the Montessori with kids aged 4 and 5.There is a huge difference between them and the toddlers downstairs.This morning there was lots of work getting done in the Montessori;they were learning about the different seasons and trees.After doing  their work all the kids got a bowl of cheerios(because they are hosting breakfasts for child line) and got their photos taken.After their cheerios I got to help them play with play-doh,and got to draw trees for them.
After lunch we sang lots of nursery rhymes and played with toys.Then at two o'clock we went outside and I played duck duck goose and I was put in jail for no reason.
I didn't just play all day though I had to do loads of jobs for the teacher.First I had to go look for milk,then I had to go into every room to look for the camera;after that I had to get an extra chair and play-doh from the other Montessori teacher and lastly I had to get tissues in the storage room.When I was getting the tissues I had to stand on a chair because they were on a high shelf;it was funny when I had to explain to the teacher why it took me so long to get them!

Day 2!

Last Wednesday was my second day at work experience in the local creche.On Wednesday I played with Lego and gloop(which is cornflour and water),read some books,sang and coloured in leaves using autum coloures like yellow and orange.While colouring the leaves I had to hand out the boxes of crayons and cut the leaves out when they were coloured in.In the afternoon,after lunch;I got to go into a new room with four little girls aged 1 and 2;with them I made train tracks and played with trains and read some more books!I had lots of fun on Wednesday and I am looking forward to going back this Wednesday.
