11.00-1.30

Observed a psychology lesson that was to being delivered to access to social welfare students . During this lesson the learners were required to complete part of their on going assessment which was for Learners to deliver 15 minute PowerPoint presentations in groups of three. However, only one group of pupils had carried out the required work.

2.00-3.00

In the afternoon I was afforded the opportunity to go on a placement visit with my mentor. The visit was at a local sure start center. I found this a very interesting as it was good to see how the skills and knowledge that the learners had learnt from a class room setting were applied to working within a child care environment.
