When I arrived at the school I met the 4 other TY students doing work experience in the school with me. It kinda felt weird seeing my old teachers again and I was surprised some of them remembered me!
I was helping out with a junior infant class. Wednesdays is their art day so this week they were painting self portraits. In groups of 4 they each came over to the art table where I gave them an A3 page with their name and helped them with the paint and things for their self portraits. Most girls painted their self portraits but others just painted the page random colours. I even managed to get some paint on myself, silly me, it washed off though which isn't too bad. The class where painting for the whole day so when they went home I helped the teacher tidy everything away and wash out the paint pots and brushes. I was also gluing some pages into the girls books. They had to colour in the head, shoulders, knees,and toes of a person since they were learning the song Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. I got to use the stamp that teachers use with the date on, I had fun with that!
All in all my day was quite busy but I enjoyed it. I learnt that to be a junior infant teacher you kinda need a lot of patience with them, but I think I still wanna do primary teaching when I'm older. Can't wait for next weeks experience!
Hope you enjoyed,
Aimee
