I thought last week was hard work.......

...well, this week has been harder!
I was meant to be teaching Maths on tuesday (monday I was on a behaviour management course by Harry Pearce - if you get a chance make sure you see him!), but last minute my teacher asked me to do Literacy instead (I wrote the MTP so sort of knew what I was doing). Normally I spend some time thinking about what to say and how to do it, but this time I couldn't but it still went well.
Wed my teacher was on a course and I was supposed to teach Maths first session, supporting the head for the second lesson (literacy) and then teaching yr 3 (history) for the third session after lunch. I got in in the morning to have the head say she didn't realise she was supposed to be teaching literacy and wouldn't be in school...so I volunteered to teach that too! And then it was lunch and straight into yr 3 history. That went well but they got really excitable during the millionaire powerpoint and took the roof off with their shouts!! They loved it and got loads out of it, but I'll have to warn them to keep their voices down if I'm to use it again!
So, my first day with three lessons in a row! Wow.
Coped surprisingly well, and the head commented on how well I managed and how their weren't many people who could do what I did at such an early stage - woohoo! Knackered though.
Just taught maths today, and supprted science. Problem is, I planned for tuesday's maths and today's science and didn't teach them, and didn't plan for 2 literacy lessons and did teach them. So thats loads of time wasted on maths and science, and two plans to write in retrospect for my file!!
Still, I'm attempting to plan for the whole week again this week as it has been less stressful to just know it's there.
Better got on then....
