#it was mostly the other pgce student who planned the session and I was kind of just helping out where I could

because I don't wanna be all doom and gloom about things, I think I really need to start focusing on the positives because there's a lot of nice, funny things that happen every week when you're working with kids.

like last week, me and the other pgce student in the art department ran our first art club session where we got the kids to draw their fav anime/cartoon characters, to then make mono prints out of them, and we weren't really sure how it would go (because it was very last minute) but we *just* about pulled it off

anyway, on thursday I got switched to a new form and there was this kid who was at art club there, and when he came into the room for form time he marched straight up to me and stood there and then was like. "thank you for yesterday miss!!" and the form tutor who was pretty stressed was like ERRRMMM NOBODY SHOULD BE OUT OF THEIR SEATS PLEASE!! and the kid was like "I was just saying good afternoon to miss!!" before making his way to his seat. anyway it was so adorable and it genuinely was just a chink of light in an otherwise really crappy week
