A holiday in Wales.

This week has been brilliant, because I have spent a few days in beautiful Wales, in the South West town, known as Gower Peninsula!

My mum, dad, my mum's friend, and I all stayed in a cosy lodge, overlooking the sea. It was extremely quiet surrounding us, and the furthest shop was miles away!

The best day of the week was visiting Cardiff, because we had a tour of the Millennium Stadium. It was thoroughly enjoyable, as we even walked to the very top of the stadium, and had a fantastic view of the pitch. However, we were also all given the opportunity to sit down in the royal box seats. The tour guide was a Welsh man, and exceedingly funny!

It was an excellent week, and I think Wales is definitely worth a visit.

Wyvern Junior School.

My current work placement is situated at Wyvern junior school, located within Ashford, Kent.

The school is specialised, because it is for children with learning difficulties, and developmental problems. For example:-
Autism. Therefore, many of the children are unable to verbally communicate with others. However, the children are extremely kind, and immediately made me feel welcome! One of the children even held my hand, and hugged me.

I am being provided with excellent experiences within the school, and enjoy assisting the children with their activities, particularly playing in the sandpit. I feel I have gained a real knowledge from this placement.

One of the children regularly lashes out, which was quite frightening at first, because I had several bruises, and scratches! Nevertheless, they were only war wounds.

Canterbury Christ Church Interview!

Wednesday was an extremely tiring, but adventurous day, as I had an interview for Occupational Therapy, situated at Canterbury Christ Church university.

Before we arrived at the university, a jolly man from a restaurant was giving away free sausage rolls, which were delicious!

The university is rather confusing, because there are many buildings, including a lack of appropriate signing.

The secretary of a particular building was exceedingly rude to my mum, dad, and I! This was because she told us just to sit down, without checking we were in the correct building. Unfortunately, we were waiting over an hour, and a half, as we were in the wrong building!

A different secretary phoned a lady to come and collect us.

Thankfully, we did not miss anything, and I feel the interview went successfully! The man who interviewed me was very kind, and asked a range of questions!
