Comments / Observation/ Feedback/ Afterthoughts:
As this was the first session, I anticipated many problems in order to accommodate everyone’s needs, wishes, desires including those of the staff
who may have been reticent to engage as this was a somewhat unknown quantity to them.
Over-all I would say the session was over-planned to accommodate or anticipate the speed of the lesson, however this isn’t necessarily a bad
thing as it can provide a starting place for the next week’s session.
I think I need to relax a little more and not be so risk averse and allow the children some more “free-play” opportunities.

Comments / Observation/ Feedback/ Afterthoughts:
Routines from last week seem to be emerging regarding help with session equipment and where participants can visit whilst in the FS area –
boundaries are obviously beginning to emerge.
Participants appeared to respond well to this session. I need to be conscious of children waving their wands in other childrens faces to ensure we
don’t lose any eyeballs along the way.
