Rachel Gale, a Year 11 pupil at John of Gaunt's School in Trowbridge, has been doing Work Experience this week with the Children's Centre. We all enjoyed having her in the office and did our best not to use her to do all the nasty or boring jobs we've been avoiding!
Rachel very politely said she'd enjoyed her time here and had gained an insight into the variety of activities that go on and the mixture of 'boring but necessary' and 'interesting and creative' jobs that occur in most workplaces. She wrote a short day-by-day account of her week, which follows:
My week at Pewsey Children’s Centre
Monday
On my first day of work experience, I got to meet some of the staff at Pewsey Children’s Centre. They were all very nice and welcoming. My first job was to make 10 goodie bags for toddlers so they could be taken to events through out the week. My next job was to wrap a load of sandwiches for a buggy walk with toddlers their parents. That was a fun experience to work with toddlers for an hour or two. The rest of the day I made information booklets. I enjoyed the day because it was different from a normal school day and I did more than one activity that day.
Tuesday
On Tuesday I went and did the toy library in the morning with Jess and Louise which I enjoyed because it was nice to see the toddlers enjoying themselves. After that I went back to the office and carried on making information booklets and sticking labels on envelopes. I liked today because I was given different jobs to do than doing one all day.
Wednesday
Today I went to the Trenchard Lines, in Upavon, where there were toddlers and mothers. Mel, Jess and I brought some musical instruments for the toddlers to play with. After being there for an hour we went back to the office and I did the task of putting information into envelopes and that was my day.
Thursday
The start of today Debbie and I worked in the shop. This is the Information Point for the Pewsey Community Area and holds local information and tourist information as well as things to do with the Children’s Centre.
Friday
This morning I went to the ‘Music and Movement’ session for toddlers at the Scout Hall in Pewsey. Then back to the office to tidy up the stationery cupboard!
