what age of kids are u working with?

[victoriawade]

im with 9yr olds in yr 5 but ive asked to be moved to nursery because i feel when im writing up mywork sitting in a classroom helping a boy with his work is so different from planning activities etc.

what age do yous work with? ru happy with your choice of age group? every1 in my class works with younger kids so im hoping i can change.........

i work at a pre-school so with 2.5 to 5 year olds in the mornings we do the key worker thing as well and i help run an after school club we have children age 4-11 so a big age range

thats a brilliant range.thats what i said to the headmaster the other day,its easy to sit and help them with their work but everything else is arranged by the teacher........ when im qualified and if i stay in placement with the older kids i wouldnt hav a clue about being a keyworker,planning activities,acually having the confidence to take charge of the kids! its ok wrote down but really u need some experience before applying for jobs!

so hopefully starting in nursery next wk!

Monday-Friday - after school club 4-15 (our oldest is 13 but we can have u to 15year olds)

tuesday&thursday breakfast club for kids that go to the school we are attached too followed by pre school 2-5year olds

then holiday club for 5-15 year olds

After school club is play work based so i am intending to do the cross over level 3 after i have finished my ccld

cross over level 3? explain

they are really good with the younger ones and they enjoy what we do and too be fair we only have two 14 year olds

crossing over to level 3 in playwork gives me the qualification in playwork and early years - means that i can transfer alot of my ccld into the playwork qualification - our after school is playwork based
