Friday, January 24th;

Today we had our last day of work for week one, it was an enjoyable with the children and they were all very excited for the weekend. In work today we just played games and with the today and there was no real structure more just a full day of free playing. It was a beautiful day so we brought the children out to the patio where we played a game of Simon Says, the children laughed the whole time and had an amazing day.

Later into Friday we had an organised boat trip, the sun was out and it was Friday and everyone was excited and looking forward to the weekend ahead. The boat was beautiful there was a little on the boat where you could get refreshments and snacks as you wished. The views from the boat were amazing and everyone was able to talk and have a laugh which was very enjoyable. There was some beautiful dolphins right beside the boat and it was amazing to see.

Although Saturday was our first off day we still had to rise early as we were going to visit the Salt Caves in Nerja. The caves were beautiful and it is something i am glad to have gotten the opportunity to do.

After the Caves we went to Nerja, here we got some food in a little bar and restaurant before heading down to the beach for a swim as it was a beautiful day.

The views in the Village were so beautiful, almost like something out of a movie.

We all got back on the bus and headed to a small white washed town called, Frigiliana. This town was stunning all the houses and buildings being white made the town feel so homely.

We all headed home before a group of us went out for the night as on Sunday we did not need to be up early for any reason. It was a long but very fun and enjoyable night and everyone had a lot of fun.

Sunday was a chill day, we all had a lie in and then when we all had woken up we went to a little a American pancake shop, although it was world famous it wasn’t all that nice and most of us didn’t eat it at all. We then decided to walk around for a little while and have a look at the shops and the village a little bit more. As some of us are missing home we “made” a homemade spice bag, (we bought the chicken strips already cooked and the chips) then we added seasoning. It was very nice but it was almost cold by the time we ate it because we had bought chips and tried to cook them at first but they weren’t cooking.

Today we were back to work experience today the children were very excited to see me and it made me so happy as I have felt like I have started to make an impact with them. Today we with the children I made a house with them as they are learning about their house at the minute.

We decorated the house by using markers, stickers, paint and some glitter. The children could decorate as they pleased and they were smiling and enjoyed every minute of it.

During work today the children and I did some finger painting. We would then turn there designs into necklaces for them to be able to wear.

After work we had a walking history tour planned and a hike. The history tour was very long but it was very interesting.

Once the tour was completed we all hiked up the back of the castle and it was beautiful, the views were outstanding!

Today in work I traced around the children’s hands as they are getting some renovations in the outside playground area and they are putting a section for the children to be able to leave their water similar to what they have in the classroom, but rather than using name tags I thought it would be a good idea to trace their hands and write their names on it so their areas could be identified easily.

After work today I went and got a few presents for my family back at home and then just chilled out and watched the football matches in the cinema room with a few others.
