boxes!

Today I had a very busy day.There was 20 boxes of new stock that I had to price and count;so firstly I had to unpack a box,then find the items code on a list then get its dollar price and convert it into euro and stick the sticker on the item and mark how many of each item was in each box(eg 10 hats).Then when I had priced and marked them off the list I had to put all the items in the box I had to put them all back into the box because they are not going out onto the shelves until after the sale.Then I started the next box and did the same thing.I got through 15 of the 20 boxes.

My Second Day!

Today I learned how to use the pricing gun!I got a list of items that where in a box and had to price each one and put it on a hook.I had to rearrange a wall to make room for the things from the box.When I had emptyed the box I had to make weights so I filled 96 ballons with sand.Then I helped get the orders ready;so I cut ribbion and put the weights together.Then I had to count ballons to put in bags for the orders for next week.

1st day of my 3rd work experience!

Today I started my work experienec in the local party shop called 'Party Mad'.
Today during my work experience I learned how to make weights to go on balloons.I had to cut lots of ribbion in differnt colours and then tie them onto the balloons filled with sand,then stick stickers on the and wrap them up and tie them with ribbion and curl the ribbion.Then I helped organise the costumes on the back wall.I had to take them all down and help put them back up with the other costumes that matched;for example I had to put all the nurse costumes and accessories together.Then I stacked party cups and put them on shelves beside the d napkins and plates that matched.After that I had to put the candles and balloons in order of age;so I had to put all the 1s together,all the 2s together and so on.
I had a good day and am looking forward to going back next week because I am going to be learning how ordering online works.

My Last Day in the Primary School :(

Today was my last day of my work experience in Scoil Naomh Bríd.
This morning I cut out letters for a sign for their new reading corner.Then I had to stick the sign up  at the back of the class.After I helped do mothers day art.Everyone did a picture for the front of their cards so I had to fold big sheets of paper and stick their pictures to the outside;then I had to stick a plain white A4 sheet inside the card for the girls to write their messages to their mams.Then they wrote out a poem and I had to stick the inside the card too.After that I swapped their readers and put their homework into folders.Just before going home I ruled some copies for the teacher.Then I gave her a thank you card and a box of sweets;and she gave me a thank you card,a box of sweets and my evaluation sheet.
I have really enjoyed this work experience placement;I have learnt lot and had lots of fun getting to know the senior infants and learning about primary school teacher.

Test Today!

Today the senior infants were doing a test so I didn't do much with them.This morning I had to cover all the classroom walls with black bin bags so they couldn't see any words on the walls.Then I helped the teacher move the tables,then I paired everyones pencil and the extra ones.After that I collected all the crayon bowls and everything on their desks.Then I put dividers in between each girl.When they were doing their test I ruled copies,put art in art folders and changed each girls reader for them.After the test I put the tables back,and collected the dividers.Then I mounted some of their art onto pink and purple paper and stuck them up on the walls after taking down all the bin bags.Then I had to cut out letters that said 'our spring flowers' and stick them onto yellow card and then onto the wall.

This morning I lined copies,took down some words and stuck up new ones,then I had to swap each girls book for a new one.Then I put up a new alphabet and covered the letters in plastic covers so they wouldn't get wet.After break I helped with art;I gave out paintbrushes and newspaper.There were a few girls form 6th class there so they helped me set up.Then I sat a the red table to help.They were making patterns using the tip of the paintbrush so I had to help them.Then I got to do some;I painted the title with the teacher.Then I had to paint and cut out a table,a ball,a book,a cylinder and kite.After lunch I cleaned up the paints and stuck up the new art.Then before I went home I put homework into folders and I also put art into art folders.
