Exciting times

Hello,

Its been a busy old day today. Working on individual needs in school can be really difficult but on occasions like today its very rewarding.

I've been looking at my weaknesses in work rather than my strengths with my class teacher with regards to Looking at my role as a whole. She pointed out areas I needed to improve and as if by magic later in the day I actually had to put these newly improved skills to the test with success. I felt very good after this. Now I'm just about to enjoy a bit of light reading- Critical thinking- a concise guide.

I've enjoyed reading the document - The ultraversity model for work based learning and I'll be posting on First class later on.

Hope everyone is well

Phil

Sept 29th

Hello,

I feel like I have managed to have a productive day today. I arrived at school just after 8 and finished all of the planned laminating and updating of displays that I had started Friday after school. A positive start to my day. Literacy and maths went well today. I enjoyed listening to a few of the children read before I let them loose with a camera, with the instructions of "take pictures that represent what I do in school" .
I guess I didnt know what i'd let myself in for. Pictures of cups of coffee and lamenating machines were the order of the day. Never mind I enjoyed it and the budding David Bailly's seemed to have fun too.
This afternoon was fairly quiet. The children are running for house captains so are planning speeches and election campaigns. Its all good fun and really seems to get them involved.
On the whole today has been a really bright start to my week.

Now onto my studies. I feel like I am getting ahead with it now especially as I have the photos and More of an idea of what is expected. Thank you all for the advice. I 'll post again soon.

I shall do my very best to keep on updating my Blog.

Best wishes and good luck to everybody
