Last week the 7th of March all TY's were out on work experience. I decided to do my work experience in my old primary school. I chose to do my work experience here because ever since I was a primary school student I wanted to be a teacher myself.
On the Monday before I started work I was really nervous because I was the only student going to the school. I soon realised that there was nothing to be nervous about. The day went great in the school they had a book fair on the week i was there so every morning I would go there and take in all money and then tidy up at the end of it all. After that i would go in to the junior infants room where i would remain till two o clock which is when they go home. While i was there with them i would help the teacher with all the correcting and help any student that was stuck with there work. At lunch time i would supervise them and then read them a story at the end of the day. For my lunch break I would go out and supervise the yard then I would go to the staff room and eat lunch there. From 2 till 3 it was slow I only did some photocopying for teachers and cleaning. That was my main routine for the week except on some days i would help out other classes with art and P.E. Towards the end of the week I had even more responsibilities within the classes. I was able to teach a bit more which I loved. Also on the last day of it all i got to sit in a watch toy story 3 with the infants because it was raining at lunch time so they were unable to play outside.
I really enjoyed my week at the school and I would still really consider being a primary school teacher. I also enjoyed being back with all my old teachers and the school. I was surprised at how much the school has changed since I was there. they are now planning too build an extension and in every class room there is an interactive white boards in every classroom.
