I feel that this week went very well, for many reasons. The children responded very well to the messages we were putting across and the teacher was very supportive. The children and the teacher got involved in everything and behaved well.
My character Active Amy seemed to be very popular as most children came into my group and felt they related most to my character, which is good to know that most of them were active, that makes our job a lot easier!
Some things didn't go to well and didn't work very well. This was not the facilitator or the teams fault as we had never tried it before. The project is still a working progress so things need to go wrong or not work well for people to know they need improving.
I have a lot of constructive feedback to give to the relevant people of what I think needs improving. Before the next project, I want to talk to the team and tell them what I think we could do differently and how.
From how tiring this week has been, I have been tempted to say that working with children is not for me. However I realised that many jobs are tiring but not a lot are as rewarding and enjoyable as this one.
