Making snakes so much fun!

So today i was only in for 3 horse because i had to leave early. From 8:30 to 9 i was with kids from the age 8-10. They are so noisy, loud, messy, and just dont listen! After them the little kids came in which are behaved better than the older ones! I did art with them for a while, we made snakes from paper plates, stickers and all the rest! For circle time i read them all a story and that one kid always saying i cant see the pictures! so i sat him beside me to keep him quite! You need so much patience with kids and control your anger so you dont snap at them!

kids have you so tired!

For the second day in kiddies choice i was with a different age group for the morning around the ages 3-5. The kids got used to me at this stage. They are fond of  using you as a tree! Just swing out of you and run around you and stick stickers or what ever else they can find on you! For a while i was helping a kid that couldnt speak english well with some jigsaws and teaching him some basic words while to girls were hanging out of me! In the afternoon I was reading a story to one child that seemed to attract every other kid in the room! Then after finishing one story every kid hands you a book to read, so i was there for about an hour ready stories. That one kid that asks why after every sentence you say aswell! Was unbelievably tired and there was still  couple of hours to go! Just playing games with them and helping them with whatever they were doing! Realising that kids climb on everything, doesnt seem dangerous to them at all!

Kids, kids everywhere!!!

So the second placement of work experience started and im going to kiddies choice creche. Bit nervous going in but got the jist of things. In the morning i was with primary school kids but then they went to school and kids around the age of 4 came in. All i had to do was play games with them help them with jigsaws and anything kids want to do! Great fun but tiring, always running around after them. Also a lot of cleaning up to and a lot of patience needed! Me and Sara had to supervise the kids when they were playing in the yard which involved pushing them on the swing pick them up when they fall and play with them! So much effort needed! Especially when one kids keeps running into walls and poles! The end of the day i was with kids when they finished school. They are so loud and dont listen at all! Finally got them quiet and doing their homework. Great fun though!
