Work experience – week 8

First task this week was to do my presentation on Tuesday morning. I think this is the aspect of the module that I had been most nervous for because I don’t enjoy public speaking but I  am happy with how it went and glad it has passed.

This week I helped deliver the last session of the archery club at Fallin primary. We structured the session similar to the rest with health and safety reminder, practice and then competition.  This week we pushed the children’s skills a little bit further making the competitions at the end harder than we have in the previous weeks by giving the several target to choose from with varying points. I was obvious that the kids really enjoyed this session and it was obvious that they were sad this was their last session and were quick to ask when we were going to be back to take them for archery or for any other sport.

This archery programme set up by Craig McIntyre at active Stirling feels like it has been a success. Although I don’t know how many of the children are going to look at continuing their archery, I feel like they were a lot more positive and enthusiastic about the idea of us coming back with a new sport to show them in the future.
