Day 2

12:00pm – I took Sachin to the work area. Gave him his work wear and a pair of disposable gloves. He can't put the gloves on by himself at this stage, he needs assistance in putting them on properly. I gave him the materials and he started on his own.
He continued to do his work. Once he completed a triangle, he handed it to me to put n another table for drying.  He made the first few at a good pace, but slowed down as time went on. He started getting bored after about an hour and needed some encouragement to continue. 
Overall, he made 18 triangles in 90 mins.

1:35pm – Tea break – He took of his work wear and washed his hands. Went inside the house to have a cup of tea and snacks.

2:00pm – I took Sachin back to his work area and he continued working with the sticks and glue. He continued this on his own.
He made another 7 triangles in 60mins. We had a minor disruption by the wind which blew away the paper that sat the glued sticks. He was a little annoyed but settled down and helped collect the stuff. We then spent more time organising all the glued sticks and putting them away.

It was finally time to pack up and clean up. He cleaned and wiped his work bench, took off his work wear and then washed his hands.

3:30pm – Tea break.

3:45pm – Ipad session – He went to his work bench, but he didn’t put on his work wear again (just his school uniform). He used the IPAD app (Everyday Jigsaw).

4:45pm – End of day. I took him for a walk out on the street.

Feedback

We may need to increase the variety of work he does weekly or may need him to understand that his work is purposeful.
