Week 2 :)

 Yesterday was our second week of work experience. My day was very similar to last week, as I started off with counting out the lotto envelopes again. I delivered the envelopes, milk forms and letters to each class room. I had to put forms into envelopes and seal each one, which took a while.
After lunch I did some shredding and collected each roll book from the different classes. I met some new staff and they were all very nice. Next week I am hoping to get into a classroom , instead of being in the office! The receptionist said I could so hopefully I will. The day was grand but I am looking forward to getting into a class! :)

Work Experience 2 ;)

Source

 On Wednesday we started our second placement for work experience. This time it is for eight weeks. I am now in Scoil na Mainistreach, the boys national school in my local area. I began at 09:10 on Wednesday Morning! When I arrived I met the reception woman at the front desk and she told me that I would be in the office with her for the day as the other receptionist was out. 

  I began my day with sorting out Lotto envelopes for each class for the next three weeks. The receptionist then asked me to count out tracksuit order forms for the boys in each class and then I had to count out the letter that went with it. That had brought me up to lunch time so I went and had my lunch in the staff room with the teachers. 
  After lunch I got to deliver the letters, tracksuit forms, and lotto envelopes to each class , which took a while, as I didn't know my way around the school! but I did get used to it, after some time :)

   When I had that finished the vice principal asked me to go through some files and take out a certain part of each one. It took ages as there was a metal clip attached to each one, so I had to try take them off each file. 

  Overall I thought it was alright but I am hoping to get into a class next week, as I want to know if I would like to teach. It was good to get experience in an Office though.
