boxes!

Today I had a very busy day.There was 20 boxes of new stock that I had to price and count;so firstly I had to unpack a box,then find the items code on a list then get its dollar price and convert it into euro and stick the sticker on the item and mark how many of each item was in each box(eg 10 hats).Then when I had priced and marked them off the list I had to put all the items in the box I had to put them all back into the box because they are not going out onto the shelves until after the sale.Then I started the next box and did the same thing.I got through 15 of the 20 boxes.

1st day of my 3rd work experience!

Today I started my work experienec in the local party shop called 'Party Mad'.
Today during my work experience I learned how to make weights to go on balloons.I had to cut lots of ribbion in differnt colours and then tie them onto the balloons filled with sand,then stick stickers on the and wrap them up and tie them with ribbion and curl the ribbion.Then I helped organise the costumes on the back wall.I had to take them all down and help put them back up with the other costumes that matched;for example I had to put all the nurse costumes and accessories together.Then I stacked party cups and put them on shelves beside the d napkins and plates that matched.After that I had to put the candles and balloons in order of age;so I had to put all the 1s together,all the 2s together and so on.
I had a good day and am looking forward to going back next week because I am going to be learning how ordering online works.

My Last Day in the Primary School :(

Today was my last day of my work experience in Scoil Naomh BrĂ­d.
This morning I cut out letters for a sign for their new reading corner.Then I had to stick the sign up  at the back of the class.After I helped do mothers day art.Everyone did a picture for the front of their cards so I had to fold big sheets of paper and stick their pictures to the outside;then I had to stick a plain white A4 sheet inside the card for the girls to write their messages to their mams.Then they wrote out a poem and I had to stick the inside the card too.After that I swapped their readers and put their homework into folders.Just before going home I ruled some copies for the teacher.Then I gave her a thank you card and a box of sweets;and she gave me a thank you card,a box of sweets and my evaluation sheet.
I have really enjoyed this work experience placement;I have learnt lot and had lots of fun getting to know the senior infants and learning about primary school teacher.
