where did ye go on work exp and did you like it etc ?
It all depends on her interests but I'll throw out a few ideas anyway:
Clothes shop, supermarket, restaurant, hairdressers, beautician, pet farm, horse-riding centre, swimming pool, cinema, newspaper, radio station, music shop, etc...
Most people I know who had to do work experience went back to their old national school for a week.

Enjoying bed so far
Fella rang the house like 3 times, ignored it the first two but thought it was important on the third ring so ran downstairs to pick up.
'Hello?'
'Yeah is this plastic weldings?'
'Ehm no?! This is a residential number?'
'I must have the wrong number, sorry!'
Rang three times and hadn't a clue he was ringing a house. What an absolute...

Went in to do midterm study in school and it was LC's in one room and JC's in the other. I was on the way into the LC room and the supervisor said ''Sorry it's leaving cert only in this room, junior cert across the hall.''
Apparently I look about 15. That is just great

I went to my old primary school. Bad idea, considering I have a very low tolerance for children. :pac: Some of the little ones were amusing though. 0 -

Ah, I see. So the light will soon fall down thus injuring one of the children. That'll learn 'em.0 -
Ha some girl from the Gaeltacht came all the way up to Dublin to do work experience in the school, and for some reason she was singing on the phone to her parents as gaeilge (**** happens in primary schools. :pac: I was outside at lunch supervising and some child came over to me and handed me an empty, broken flower pot. I had no idea what to do with it so I went into the staff room to try beat it into fitting in the bin with all the teachers looking at me. Good times.), and the lad who was also working with us too opens a window, pops his head out, looks at her and shouts 'freak!' :pac:
Seemed harsh, but I couldn't stop laughing ha

I got this too when I was working :PI did work experience in a primary school too... I left it way too late and couldn't get anywhere I was actually interested in. My greatest concern while there was not stepping on the children, I had to remind myself that they're not like dogs and they won't move out of the way. :L I'd be a terrible primary teacher. They'd also come up to me and say things like "Namey Namington said I was stupid!!" and my reaction would be "oh...right. Well...you're not stupid, Namey made a mistake." I'd be so awful at educating the children when it comes to morals, because I just don't care what they say to each other. :L The ones I wouldn't crush to death would end up in prison. :L
Best repsonse;
'Really? Ahh here, I wouldn't take that'
Next thing you know theres teachers in the yard frantically trying to pull one child off the other:o:D 0
