Nine: Third Facilitation Session
Upon arrival today, I had no idea that we had no hall time so I was unable to conduct RUSH! This meant that all my activities would take place in the classroom. I also found out that Cherry was sick upon arrival at the school. I was feeling nervous as I’m not good on my own.
In the morning I saw Jo, Claire and Andy and they said that they’re so busy that it was rather unlikely that any activity would be done apart from arts and crafts. I was okay with this because I couldn’t do the book and song either without Cherry, meaning I was a lot more confident in what I was doing. I just made sure that I got as much of the big white sheet painted as I could in the day. I decided that I would paint lots of crazy frogs as this was what Adam was performing his dance to.
In the end I couldn’t really facilitate as Cherry wasn’t there combined with the stress of the staff for the show. Perhaps most notably from the day however was that I think I realised I used Cherry as a crutch since she was in CAP and was used to community projects and I wasn’t. I definitely realised that I could interact with teachers and students without her driving the conversations forward. This was rather helpful for myself to acknowledge as it meant that I knew what I needed to improve upon.
Overall, despite having anything to do I realised I was capable of interacting with teachers on my own confidently without using Cherry as an aid because of her CAP experience.
