Student Life | Issue 40

the Elmer shaped elephant which we
drew a pattern in and filled up the
space in the shape. In our project we
also included an Elmer trail which
included Elmer Statuettes scattered
around Ipswich. There was a shop
to raise money for this activity which
you could buy merchandised items
like a pencil that had Elmer on it, or
you could buy an Elmer elephant
cuddly toy. Included in the project
was a book which you could collect
Elmer on a sticker which you would
purchase, adding them on each time
you saw an elephant and the ones
you didn’t have you could swap with
others.
At WS, an important task we needed
to do, is to make sure that all the
floors were cleaned to stop the
prevention of slipping. This task
was in the dining hall as well as the
kitchen. The tables also needed
cleaning as well as the chairs. At the
end of the day was to plan what we
were going to cook and sometimes
we would go around and actually ask
people’s suggestions on what they
would like the students to cook for
them.
Last but not least we also took orders
for teas and coffees and we would
write their name down and with what
drink they wanted including how
much milk and how many sugars they
wanted.
HOW WERE THE DAYS
STRUCTURED?
Each day was structured by starting
the day at 9:30. We would then begin
lessons and then break would arrive
at 10:45. For break we would have
15 minutes to have a little something
to eat, something to drink and then
a toilet break so we were feeling
refreshed to start the next lesson of
the day at 11:00. So, as soon as break
finished we would then go back into
class and work. When lunchtime hit
we would go and have something
to eat. Some people go out for their
lunch but some people take a packed
lunch with them and eat it in the café
dining area. Our lunch would last for
30 minutes until we had to go back to
class which is at 1:00. At 2:00 we have
a 15 minute break before we have
to go back at 2:15. Then last but not
least, we would have the final part of
class at 2:15 and then it will be home
time finishing at 3:00 pm.
