Last week I worked for five whole days, I might as well get a job! Three days were with BSS, the Tuesday and Thursday with my usual groups and Friday with a new group. The pike at Twynersh have realised that they are now being fished for and are becoming more wary but the silver fish and the perch are still co-operating. I had a major victiory on Thurday when one of the students who has been too scared to touch a fish was able to hold one for a photograph.
One of the members of staff joined in and was able to share in the joys of catching fish.
On Friday I had a group of two girls and two boys who were all total beginners but I was assisted by Paul who I worked with before the summer holidays. He is exploring a new role as a mentor for younger children and was a great asset, working well with the beginners. I could see he was very proud to share his knowledge and experience with them.
Working with each of these different groups provides a variety of challenges but the rewards are tremendous.
