Today we had to do dry run through for both of the upcoming
workshops next week. These dry runs really help and encourage you on the
workshops as well as seeing what everyone else is up to in there workshops as
you are so wrapped up in your groups workshop that you don’t realise what
anyone else is doing.
Unit X workshops – Both groups got a huge approval from Anna
and Hannah, they felt confident enough to let our workshops happen on that
night. They both seemed excited about our Pop up Pom Pom’s as well as everyone
else in the room for that matter. The dry run through went smoothly as a group
as we all were confident in what we were doing, from our ideas brain storm we
have decided to have crazy party hats with Pom Pom’s on top to which Anna would
want everyone to wear (even the other group). Anna and Hannah really did see
the fun involved in this workshop which is the response we want our audience to
have. We talked through the visual aids that would be presented and our rota
system of helpers, front of house and photographers. I was impressed with our group’s
success in the Pom Pom area as we made over 30 Pom Pom’s! That shows
how carried away we got so our audience will do also, we had various sizes and
colours as well as a plastic Pom Pom which looked and felt amazing!

Placement workshop- To
summarise the school has asked for us produce 2 all day workshops for their Yr.
7 class and Yr. 9 class, one group has Yr. 7s and other group Yr. 9s, simple
workshop for them to do.
The group I’m in have called ourselves Weavers to make it easier – Annabel, Ellie, Kitty, Vic &
Me. (The name of the group gives away what we are doing.) In our dry run we
introduced ourselves to the room and played out like they were the students.
Explained our imaginary PowerPoint, our imaginary equipment as we just needed
to laser cut them etc. As a group when we finished we were very impressed in
ourselves. Anna and Hannah feedback was on bringing ice breakers into the
workshop also to spread our time out as it being an all-day session, so from
that feedback we discussed on what kind of ice breakers we could bring into the
session. One to start the kids off in the morning and I don’t know how we came
up with this idea but we are going to make a giant plait using long materials i.e.
rope, blanket, towel which a girl used in one of her micro teaches to do arm
knitting, as a group we agreed on the plaiting as we thought it would be an
enjoyable ice breaker first thing In the morning. When discussing the time plan
we noticed we had time issues. So we needed to contact Louise for more input.
We did another dry run through again and got to see everyone
else’s dry run through again as to incorporate the feedback both tutors given.
And Weaver’s workshop felt more like a workshop in ways of how we have an ice
breaker and we included a quick feedback section as well. From that we got to
go and just write up a more detailed lesson plan.Some groups had to stay
behind to have a talk about their schools workshop as the tutors didn't feel
confident enough for them to deliver one, So basically the other group from
Daca the same placement were on got dropped due to their idea and workshop
planning not being successful due to them not co-operating as a group. To which
that group have to join our Weavers group as Teaching Assistant’s now.
