...and this is my first full day in school.
In year 4, only 18 children, none with any real behavioural difficulties and a few on the G&T register. Easy start. I'm only in this class for 2 days a week for the first 4 weeks though.
A lovely day today. We went in the Life Bus - basically a mobile classroom which teaches the kids various PSHE issues (bodies, drugs, being different). That was enjoyable.
A bit of maths (the relationship between adding and subtracting) and 'News' - where they share what's been in the news this week (they sometimes use the Newsround website, apparently.
After lunch, straight to swimming - a coach to the nearest leisure centre, a short swim and then back again. It was the Head, another teacher who specialises in swimming, me and 3 mums. The mums were very interested to find out I was the new trainee!
I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to tomorrow.
Mind you, I was obviously a bit nervous last nigh because I didn't sleep well and woke up at a point in my dream where I was teaching twins but couldn't remember their names, so to get their attention I tugged one of their plaits! I woke with a real start! It's quite a stressful time, even when you're sure it'll be an easy day tomorrow and you like your school and mentor!
