I was really looking forward to community links as I would be doing it at St.Andrews primary school. My first day had came and i'll be honest I was a little bit nervous, but once I had been welcomed by the lovely staff I had no doubts that I was going to have a lovely time. On my first day I worked with the preps all day, I helped them read and practice and learn the alphabet, also whilst I was there I helped Ms.Pisani make spelling word booklets for the kids. I was also introduced to most of the other staff by Mrs.Conden, she also showed Natalie and myself, the other buildings and the areas that the students play in. From the first day I knew that I would have a fun and enjoyable two weeks at St.Andrews.
 * COMMUNITY LINKS**
 * DAY 1**:


 * DAY 5:**
 * Today I was in Ms.Ornelis' class, they were grade ones, I really enjoyed being in that class, because i felt really useful in that calss because Ms.Ornelis, has organized for the kids to paint a portrait of themselves, so I went to the art rooms and supervised the children, at first i found it really hard, because the kids, were trying to do all different things and they were mixing all different paints so I had to keep re doing the paints but after awhile they got better. I really enjoyed working with the year ones, because i felt useful and that i actually did something.**

DAY 8: Today i was in Ms.Spencers class they were year sixes and they were in the process of making there confirmation, so I joined them for one of the practices at the church. Ms.SPencer had asked to me hang up all the kids sashes and it was very hard because I had to hang them up with a very thin piece of string and all the sashes kept falling behind the piano and they got dust on them, I eventually got the hang of it. AFter they had finished the practice they went back to normal class, which was Maths, lucky me jhad to stay with the class for 2 math periods, and I found it funny because i didnt remeber half the stuff they were doing.

My favourite activity was the Victoria Market because the food there was reallly nice and the souveneirs and things that i really wanted to go back and purchase for myself. I did end up buying a poster for my dad, it was a Liverpool poster which is a soccer team. I also bought my sister a soy C andle because she is currently obsessed with candles.
 * Melbourne Experience**
 * I really enjoyed Melborune experience because i found out so many new places to go when im in the city with my friends or family.**
