Work Experience Placement 3-Week 1

I started my third work experience placement today in Laurels pre-school.I was looking forward to begin my work experience.
I arrived in the pre-school at 09:25 and I started my work experience at 09:30. I was introduced to my two suprivisers and the kids in the pre-school.The workers were very welcoming and I was looking forward to working with them.
I started off the day by doing circle-time with the children and singing songs with them.I then helped one of the children with their art work and played games with the children.I then cleaned up at the end of the day.
I enjoyed my first day of work experience in the pre-school.

Week 8

Today was my last Wednesday in Peamount Healthcare.I started off the day by doing some printing,photocopying and laminating for my supriviser.
After this I had a quick break and I then went to a talk on hand care with my suprivisers and a few of the nurses.I learnt some new things from this talk about hygiene and hand care around the hospital.
I then carried out hand care on two more of the patients.
After lunch,I did more laminating for my supriviser and I finished off the day by going to the sing-along again with the patients.
I really enjoyed my 8 Wednesdays in Peamount healthcare,I really enjoyed working with the patients and the workers around the hospital.I learnt alot from it and would definitely like to work in the area of social care in the future.

Today was my second last week at work experience in Peamount Healthcare.I started off the day by being introduced to some new patients.I was thought how to do hand care correctly and I carried this out with one of the service users in Peamount.
After doing the hand care with one of the patients,I took part in relaxtion time.It was my first time being introduced to this so I observed what the nurses were doing with the patients and I took part in this.
I also went to the sing song after lunch again and kept some of the patients company.
It was a good day because I was introduced to do things(relaxtion time) and new patients.
