I realised the other day that this is the first job I have ever had where I have really had to work!!! And yet the irony is that Im getting paid what feels like pittance for it, whereas my last job I was not working nearly as hard but paid almost half as much again!!
Yesterday was the most shattering day at work ever, took some of the kids to swimming lesson in the school in the morning which involved heping them all to undress and get dressed and then obviously drying them down and dressing them again. Somehow in the process the boys managed to get their clothes all mixed up, resaulting in the biggest lad in the class going home is trousers that were about 4inches too short and ever so slightly too tight for him!! All the clothes were thankfully returned to the right kids this morning!!! After swimming I had to get the kids changed (again) for gym and then later took two of the more physically disabled kids to the soft play room where they have the chance to get out of their wheelchairs and play in the room with no chance of harming themselves. One of the kids has always refused for her physio to lie down or stretch her legs but yesterday in soft play she did it (with a little encouragement at first!!) and then even volutarilly did it again!! Was so proud of her!!
Thursday is my Music day. In the morning I help out with the African drumming class which is comprised of some of the older primary students and some seniors, maybe 8 kids in all. Then Thursday avo is Creative where the kids get the chance to do things like Drama, Music, Gardening or Art in mixed age groups with deifferent teachers than they might have normally. So Im in the Music group and we are helping our kids learn about Manchester and all the different cultures and religions that live in this city!
After being at the achool 6 weeks I finally got my induction folder yesterday which gave details of what to expect in the job, members of staff names and all the forms that you might need to get through the year!! A bit of bedtime reading perhaps!!???
Just found out a close friend has got cancer. Feeling very upset about this, though knowing her I know she will fight it out of her system quite quickly.
