Well, here we are. Final term. It's all hotting up now!
Jobs have started being advertised in the last couple of weeks and more and more are appearing all the time. I've applied to three and am waiting to hear about them (nail biting stuff!).
This week I taught about 2 full days and next week I'm teaching about 3.5 full days. The week after I begin my 6 week block (with a half term in the middle) of teaching a full 90% timetable - scary!!
Had a really rough day on tuesday (kids had been playing up for everyone and I went down hard on them, which was stressful - makes you wonder if you're doing the right thing going into teaching, but yesterday and today were much better and I'm bouncing and happy. It really is a roller coaster!
I'm feeling so much more like a teacher now -not sticking rigidly to plans, able to adapt - revamping Golden Time, starting new things in school like Podcasting and blogging. I can't wait to get my own class now, although my class teacher is fantastic and just walks out the room when I'm teaching (unless I've requested her to be about to help with something) so I'm doing it properly on my own, which is great.
Getting on top of planning now, but paperwork for standards and getting assignments done is a pig! Can't wait for the course to finish but am still loving it.
Watched a play at school today called 'Captain Chloresterol' which isn't something that happens in the majority of jobs!
