Lorraine’s work experience travel log

Last week each day was different, I spent a few hours a day on organising the Bioblitz, emailing etc as well as in the Library helping with checking the catalouge. On Monday morning I helped Jenny put equipment away in the Kit Store to try and familiarise myself with where everything goes.  On Tuesday we had environmental games training where we talked through different environmental games we can play with groups to pass time if we are waiting for Mini buses, finish tasks early etc. We also had a team building fush of the Elmhurst building which saw us take 4 rooms each and all run back and forth to flush at the same time to wash out the drains! In the afternoon, Beth, Luke and I made new signs for the Dining room reminding people not to wear muddy shoes inside before we all went and did some climbing training.  On Wednesday I did a spilt shift with Beth, we came in at 11am to complete our climbing belay ratification until 1pm. I then went back to the house until 4pm and then

Climbing ratification was cancelled due to the weather so its been rescheduled for Wednesday. This week I carried on going through my induction pack - online Safeguarding training, GDPR training and intranet tasks. On Monday Rosie and I went out to carry out a WeBs Survey of wetland birds on the island from the Cumbrae ferrry slip towards the centre. The weather was not looking good, Jenny drove us to the ferry slip and we walked back to the centre counting and identifying the wetland birds on the way whilst it hailed and rained quite heavily! We saw lots of Oyster Catchers, lapwings, herring gulls, herons and some cormorants, curlew and rock pipits as well. I also had my week 1 review session which went well and spent a few afternoons in the Library helping to reorganise the books. On Tuesday the centre filmed a Pirates of Cumbrae video where we all had to have a scene which was a very funny day, everyone dressed as pirates from makeshift costumes we made in the morn
