Tuesday was really cool as Mark took me and Billy to a Short Breaks workshop in King's Lynn. Even though we were only there for a short time I had a really good time interacting with the kids. One of the tutors there (Blake) had set up a ‘loud corner’ which consisted of a couple of amps, a keyboard and a few touch pads. If we didn’t have to leave I could have stayed on the touch pads all day long. The variety of sounds and music recordings they had on them was amazing. You could create a song with just three rubber pads. I found it really fun and especially when the kids where doing beats in time with the music, it made me feel like we had really accomplished something that day.
On Wednesday Billy and I wrote an observation of what we saw at King's Lynn for the first part of the day. After lunch we spent the rest of the day doing odd jobs such as guitar maintenance and various cleaning jobs. I also researched a few new bands on the scene to see what they were like.
Thursday was one of the best days I’ve had working for CME. I went with CME tutor Rob to Attleborough for a Short Breaks workshop. It was a big surprise for me as I did not expect there to be so many adults there to help. It was almost two adults to every child. This was really good as the carers where always at hand to help. This was good as it meant I felt like I could interact more and get more stuck in. It wasn’t just me and the tutors trying to engage the kids, because in every activity all the carers got really involved.
