The East Manchester Academy

8th, 9th and 10th December 2014

• 3 days
• Assisted the BTEC Animal Care lessons
• Helped the students feed, clean and manage the welfare of a range of animals: corn snake, rat, guinea pigs, hamster, gerbil and tropical fish.
• Limited hands-on experience.
• Helped the students with their presentations on their specific animal, which allowed me to obtain some information about the behavioural aspects of some of the animals.
• Improved confidence with people.
• Allowed to experience what it is like to work as part of the staff rather than as a student.
