Survived My First Week!

It was my first paid job (well, technically second but the really first paid job was only a short period), anyways, and thought of working with little primary school children was a bit scary because I obviously didn't know what to expect. But, I happily survived! At first, I didn't know any of the staff and the kids names or what year they were in. But after two days of working at OOSH, I knew most of their names, the staff were all friendly-chilled-laid back kind of people :) The first week, I mostly just asked a bunch of questions about what's the routine in the morning and the afternoons, what activities are set out for the kids, how do they organise the activities for each year group (Kindy-Year 6) and what each staff's members responsibility during the afternoon sessions.

I survived and at the moment, loving it! The hours are super chill because they don't interfere with anything during the day. If it's the morning shift, it's hours are early in the morning until school bell rings which is like 0900, and the school kids are off to classes and breakfast is finished and packed away. Afternoon sessions run from 1400 to 1845, which are good times too because I'm still on uni holidays. I've just experienced my first afternoon shift and it felt crazy! There was probably about 40 kids for OOSH! Seems little when you read, only 40 kids, but once you're in the hall, they're everywhere!! Haha :) nah, but I think I'm starting to love it :) which is a good thing. Because at the moment, I want to work with paediartrics in my line of work / career wise (occupational therapy).

Overall, my week has been super good, and super exciting with my new job :) Next week will be even better with even more shifts. Yay.

Hope you're having a good week too, and TGIF!!! :D

Love,
