Good Morning! School is closed today because if crazy flooding so I plan to spend the day working on my assignment, hopefully finishing the first draft.

Week 8 – Settling In
The past week has been much of a muchness as far as the set up of the course goes; 3 days in school, 1 at the Hub and 1 at Uni. I spent a large proportion of my time in school planning and re-planning my Year 10 topic for my first 2 weeks of my … Continue reading Week 8 – Settling In

Week 2 – Primary Placement
So there's week 2 done and dusted too. Time flies when you are having fun! I was tempted to say that I was being sarcastic there, and I half was, but half wasn't. Last week was educational, inspiring and exciting. But it was also chaotic, noisy and tiring. I spent my Primary Placement week at … Continue reading Week 2 – Primary Placement
Week 1 – SO MUCH PAPER! (& an Introduction)
It was suggested to me by the NQT in my department that I start a blog to document my ITT year. She said she did it herself and it's been useful to look back on, for work and nostalgia. So I decided to give it a go. I've started this and my twitter account anonymously … Continue reading Week 1 – SO MUCH PAPER! (& an Introduction)
