This past week has been another great experience for me assisting on the YMCA day camp at Rushcliffe School. What has been great to see throughout this week is fun and intuitive ways to learning and these are techniques that I will take forward into sessions in the future. The young peoples willingness to partake in every activity without complaint is what made this week really special as it showed to me that through the use of the training and careful planing sessions can be made enjoyable.
What went well?
The young people wanted to partake in anything which required a demonstration of an activity or to be one of the main roles for the task of the day. For me just like the majority of the previous sessions the young people at Rushcliffe School were filled with a lot of enthusiasm.
What did not go so well?
The attention of the young people would sometimes dip throughout an activity when it came to a more crucial part which required more attention. For sessions of this nature the young people could have benefited with some of the tasks that were set being less intense and more interactive.
