A day worth noting for the Tuesday group Conserver/Explorer candidates as it was a day that they begun to act as mentors and supervisors for other candidates. The Conserver students tried these skills on the two Explorer students and vice -versa. The results were very interesting.
'He just doesn't listen to what I've said!'
'They think I know everything and don't give me time to think about it!'
'I think we need to explain things more slowly.'
'I know what I'm trying to say but it seems to come out differently.'
These are just some of the comments that the student's came out with this morning. I decided to let them get on with the task without interfering to see what would happen. I'm glad I did as non of them fell out, the problems were discussed in small groups, and solutions were worked out!
Sometimes going into the forest with the students is a pleasure, they enjoy the work, they work hard and they learn something; sometimes going into the forest with the students is excellent! They learn how get on with the job and to get on with each other.
The John Muir Award has provided the opportunity for personal development for all of the students from Cedar House School, who have participated in the award scheme.
