Primary school workshop

Today was the big day! It went well overall we had a few hiccups here and there but it went smoothly. I learnt a lot within the workshop it was intersting to see how it all played out and how everything worked out.

Our group was well organised and everyone played their part according to the lesson plan. We were able to get everything ready although we'd lost about 15-25 mins at the start due to the children being registered and the canteen space beig prepared for us to use. We also lost some time during the activity as the fire alarm went off and we had to cut out a part of the lesson plan (worksheet) and fast forward to the bug march. There were one or two children that were being a little bit difficult but and didn't want to move from table to table but I think we accommodated them well and helped them without singling them out. Apart from these two set backs we did great!

I think all the tables were well prepared and there was a good flow from table to table. The atmosphere was good and the children enjoyed the task and were having a lot of fun. The group was well prepared even with the time set back and we were able to make decisions straight away. The bug march went extremely well and the children had a great time dancing and showing off their bugs. The communication between the group and children was also good as we were nervous to begin with as the children's first language wasn't English. Overall we had a great time and so did the children.
