Additional Information

  • High-School Experience- 2016-2017 - Throughout my experience, I was located in the sports building. My main focus was sports, I worked with all years 7-11 ranging from 11-16 years old and I worked with all the sports staff. Sometimes I would have to run my own sessions, and these sessions were planned by myself
  • Primary-School Experience - 2015-2016 I did classroom work during my time here. I work more with the year 6's. However, sometimes I would work with the year 3-5's. It all depended on my timetable and how many children were in the day.
  • Nursery Experience- 2016-2017 I helped out a lot with the new ones who had just joined the nursery. However, sometimes I would go with the older ones and go on some trips with them. it varied throughout my time there. I was involved with all the different activities.
  • CARE ASSISTANT | Care Home Experience- 2016-2017 I helped with activities for example bowling. During my time I also spoke to the residents and helped them during the day. Sometimes we would go out on trips.
