Well, last week I taught some more maths starters - I hate maths and get just as nervous for a 10 minute starter as I do for a full hours literacy!!
Mind you, I'm surprised how quickly I got over the nervousness of teaching and how quickly I take on board advice and manage to slip it into my teaching. The first lesson I forgot positive correction, the next lesson I remembered that but the plenary was rushed...hopefully the next plenary will be better but doubtless they'll be something else I need to work on!
This half term I'm doing the medium term plan for literacy taking us all the way up to christmas. I'm excited about that as english is my 'thing'.
It's poetry and I'm having fun messing about with working out how to progress the kids over several weeks. It's taking ages, but I'm having to work out how to reference NLS strands etc. I guess it'll be quicker next time, and the time after that!
I've also planned the first two lessons, so I hope my mentor like the plan when I show her on thursday!
I covered for my mentor (with another supply teacher) at the end of last week and the kids were great (or I was!). They managed to work in silence for me during the spelling test! Woohoo!
