Mind –
This week in
Mind we had a learning curve as we had to adapt our games and activities, as we
had someone in a wheel chair. At one point in the session one individual asked
the group to work around the room and we had to take this into consideration; so
one of the team said if anyone feel s more comfortable just standing still,
then do as they feel more comfortable. I feel like this was a good decision as
that was the point in the session where we all took note to adapt our activities.
When we played “spot the move” which is a game like “link
murder”, but with moves, we needed to give lots of encouragement throughout
this game, as they had little confidence to take a turn being the leader. The man in the wheel chair was scared about
joining in as everyone was doing movements with their feet; he started to feel self-conscious
about being a leader, so we had to make sure he didn’t feel like he couldn’t
join in because he wasn’t standing up. So I felt like we achieved something in
this session because I felt I had made him feel confident in the activities.
My strengths from this session would be that I did my job of
being a community practitioner and I thought on my feet and found the best
solutions for the situations which can arise. My weakness was not being as observing
to do more research on the group of clients we were going to have.

2nd November - The session was full on as we had
the stage up and the actors who are playing the section with the children came
in to work with the children. This was a
good opportunity for the children to get a feel for the stage and scene with the
characters. I felt I should have had thought through the scene before the session,
but I got there and found that I had a good idea of what I wanted to happen.
The children responded well to the scene, although they needed a bit on
encouraging to get them to use their faces and stay in character.
8th November – The session was the same as last
week and we worked hard to get the scene mark through. The control of the
children is getting better as I started to not keep telling them to be quiet
all the time, this approach worked better.
The music that I had edited wasn’t right for the scene, so we had to ask
the tech guy to change it, I felt that it was my fault that I needed to be
changed again, as I should have thought the music through more. I’ve chosen to
add extra rehearsal for the children before the dress rehearsal, because some
of the children can’t make.
My strengths from the session were the control and
delivering of the sessions. The weakness was the plan of the session as it felt
a little all over the place.
