In Year 10 I did 2 weeks at Waterstones. I think I might end up doing some more work experience in my schools Maths Department on the work experience week as I want to teach, and health complications mean it's probably a good idea to not take on anything too strenuous!
Strangely, I worked at a different secondary school from my own. I did the audio engineering for the school's production of "The Wizard of Oz". It was arranged a bit last minute, but it was one of the best weeks I've ever had!
I did my week's work experience in a primary school where my mum works as a teacher, but not in her class. At the time, I wanted to be a primary teacher and it was great experience.
I worked in an old people's home for a week. When they were awake, they were funny ( but they weren't awake much ;D) I spent most of my time watching telly, but I did go for a walk with one of the resident's and a carer everyday. Played bingo, and one old man taught me to play dominoes!!!!
I'd applied to do something IT related, then I was told that i'd be washing cars for a week. Then apparently that wasn't safe, so I had to stay in school for a week.
