start of a new day

A portion of the group had issues with their placements so Andrew and Mo had to try and sort it out. I had to accompany Andrew Maleeka and Bianca to Pink Fm. Everyone else seemed ok with the walking but I was tired and hadn’t even started work yet! Whilst Andrew was in a meeting with their boss I was nodding off on the chair and before I knew it, it was time for me to go to my placement.

As we left Mr Ofari said we didn’t need to go to the placement because it wasn’t what I requested so he suggested I go to the Baptist Primary school. I was a lot happy because it would benefit me and id be able to help the children effectively

As I got their I met the deputy head and the head of English. I went to an English lesson and as soon as I walked in the whole class stood up and recited " hello visitor how are you doing today?" I was shocked at how disiplined these young childeren actually were. The teacher told me to look at their notes and I peered over them and noticed they were doing adjective nouns and syllables. Within 1 minute the teacher told me to teach and had to think fast.


I remembered the way i got taught how to count syllables which was to place your hand under your chin say the word and count how many times your hand went down. I taught this to the children and they were all amazed because they never knew the technique neither did the teacher. As i was teaching I saw Mo Holly Andrew and Ben watching me teach and looked happy with what I was doing. The children, teacher, and my group were happy with my lesson which gave me a buzz because I did well!

I later came back to the hotel and some of the group was playing Frisbee. I noticed I was wearing swimming trunks and thought " I’m just going to jump in the pool". Which was exactly what I done, eventually everyone else followed and we had a fun time. After swimming dinner was ready so everyone changed ate and went sleep.
