5 days in school and only 2 days off each week isn’t enough
and I think we can all agree with that. No matter how much free time I had in the past
week I couldn’t bring myself to sit on the laptop and write a blog post. The first
thing I did on Saturday morning after I got up was sit down with a blank white
screen in front in me and hoped it would take like 10minutes to type a full
post. I failed miserably .My phone kept buzzing from across the room and all I wanted
to do was start texting my friends and go out so I did that. But so I wouldn’t forget
everything I did I typed out the dates and a few bullet points and today Monday
the 3rd of November im going to attempt once again to write a blog
post including what I did. Bear in mind when you read this that I did all these things almost 2
weeks ago and I have a terrible memory, if I have to be completely
honest. (I’ve a memory like a gold fish as they say)
On Friday the 24th of October at 3.20 every
single girl and teacher in the school ran out the door to get home for a week off.
This isn’t going to be short blog post on what everyone dressed up as on Friday
but I want to give credit to everyone who did because everyone look amazing and
to the people who didn’t WHERE IS YOUR SPIRIT? I really can’t say much I think
this was the first year I put in any effort! But I did and that is all that really
matters!
Now it’s time for you to hear about the best part of the
week. Work experience on Wednesday the 22nd.Last Wednesday the 29th
since we were on midterm we did’t have to go into work experience (well I couldn't because the school was closed anyway!) Since the kids won’t be in school the week
of Halloween I helped with Halloween art on Wednesday the 22nd. I
helped make trick or treat bags. Well that’s what we told the kids they could
be but of course you know how five year olds are we had a child disagree and
she said it would rip so we can’t use it but thank god one of them said that
they can use it as a Halloween handbag for dress but and obviously the teacher
and I took what the girl said and told them to do that if they already have a
trick or treat bag or if they think it will rip.
It was harder then it sounded to make the bags. Each bag had
a ghost, witch, pumpkin, start and a moon on it .Once again I had paint on me
at the end of the day. But this week surprisingly I only had a small bit of
paint on my hands and on my jumper. Instead of going home and putting
everything in the wash I went home to wash my hair because I was cover in
glitter for a change.
Life lesson number 1 – Don’t use glitter with kids, they get
it EVERYWHERE!!!!

Throughout the day I brought two girls down to the back to
the things that would be stuck onto the bag. If I knew how messy the glitter
would have been I would have left it until the end but I didn’t and I did it
first. To make sure the glitter would stick with the print stick I got to do a
star and since they were both on the same page I did a moon after. (I always
test that the art will work and honestly I love it because I feel like a six
year old again and its ok if I do it wrong im not being graded on it) Each girl came down and I put glue onto the
star and moon and then they sprinkled gold glitter onto the star, sliver
glitter on the moon and both glitters on the floor, table, themselves and me.
Once that was done I attempted to clean the table off and left the floor until
later. Im not over reacting when I say it got everywhere, it really did!
So the girls knew not to just paint the whole pumpkin with
their figure I filled the pumpkin with dots of paint (once again i felt six and
loved it) and then I showed it to them so they knew what to do. In the end some
of the pumpkins where just covered in orange paint but sure what can you do? There weren’t enough ghosts for me to one but I got over it. I spent at least 10 minutes cutting out ghost and putting the girls names on the back and the handing them out. While I did that the teacher handed out cotton wool and told ever one of the not to touch it and continue colouring until we were ready. Once every girl had a ghost and cotton wool the teacher and I went around and made sure they all spread it out and pressed it to the picture. They didn’t even use glue and most of them had cotton wool stuck to their hands.
Life lesson number 2 – don’t use glue sticks to stick down
cotton wool because it doesn’t work very well.
On Tuesday they all coloured in a picture of a witch so I got
them from their folders and I handed them out. On the top of all the girls
tables there was a bag and all there art from the day and once they went home
the teacher and I had great fun jumping from chair to chair making the biggest
mess ever trying to cut everything out and stick them on the bag. The glue we
used really failed to keep the glitter and the cotton wool on. Every time I picked
up the star and moon to cut the out half the glitter feels off the page. Originally
only the back of the room had glitter everywhere but by the tie we finished the
room was cover in glitter and every desk had paper all over it. The teacher
picked up all the paper and put it in the bin, while I cleaned the glitter off the
tables, well as much as I could anyway. The day was almost over but the last 10
minutes consisted of both of us sweeping the floors and I say we only got rid
of have the glitter.
I did have a picture of a bag and a picture of all the things individually that were put onto the bag but I lost them(oooppps) well there's the disadvantage of wanting to enjoy your midterm and not doing a blog post when you really should.
Im just a teenage girl who hates the thought of growing up but im doing it with a smile on my face and a positive attitude. Hope you liked reading about how I tried and most likely failed to portray how fun it is at work experience ever week! there might be a new problem every minute but I don't care I think it is amazing. - Miss.Galligan x
