Browick Road Morning

As a group, we were all supposed to go to Browick Road on the morning of 30th November, to do a Theatre in Education performance and a workshop on sharing with the year 2's but although most people attended, I did not attend due to the bad weather (snow). This makes it hard to write about and reflect on, so instead I decided to interview a fellow student who did attend the workshop and let it help me reflect on the morning.

Did you feel the day was well organised and ran smoothly?

I thought that it ran fairly smoothly, with a few hiccups. For example, a few people were absent on the day, which kinda messed things up a little.

Do you feel the children behaved well, and if not, how did this effect your performance and workshop?

In my group, there were 4 young boys who i felt were very violent, and talked alot while we were talking, which made it hard to cooperate with the children to our full potential.

Do you feel that the children enjoyed and benefitted from the morning?

Yes, i do feel that they did, for example one child said 'I do lots of donating at home' making the other children think and reflect on their own donating.

Did you get many donations? If yes/no, why?

No, in this sense the campaign was unsuccessful, because the children failed to bring in any old toys for us to donate to the charities.

Do you feel there was anything else you could of done to improve the morning at all?

Yes, if we had been more prepared and had more time to talk to the children, we could get stronger messages across.
