Getting home at 6 pm with a lot of work still to do, sounds like my life in a high school as well! An interesting account of your week, there is ALWAYS something else to do. ☀️
I though this was really honest because it gives me a good understanding about what to expect on a daily basis when I start my Primary PGCE, in September.
Thank you for your vlog, it was very helpful. I am starting a Primary PGCE, in September. This has given me an understanding of preparing, and organizing learning resources effectively in the classroom.
You just listed ALL the things I’ve been watching on peoples “classroom organisation” videos and I was going to go And buy all of these things! Definitely going to wait to get into my classroom before wasting money 😂
I'm going to be starting a BA (Hons) Primary Education with QTS (Part-Time) in September. Are there any particular books you would recommend getting and starting to read early? Thanks!! Loving your videos
Glad you're back! I love the vibe you give very positive and inspiring. Congrats on the pregnancy and completely understand you wanting to keep baby off the Internet
Congrats xx Love watching your videos your supper positive and inspiring and remind me of my year five teacher 😅 Can’t wait to watch your next video, here are some questions 🤍 What did you study at university ? One thing that inspires what you do occupation wise . Advice for someone who want to become a primary teacher . Things you never knew before becoming a teacher . The highlight of your teaching day What’s your best year group that you have taught ?
Amazing video! I am terrified for my NQT year. I am going into my third year of my BEd course but have missed training due to COVID-19. Do you have any tips to feel confident & becoming a teacher during this time♥️ congrats with the bubba x
How did you find the jump from finishing your third year of teacher training to going into a full time job? What tips would you give? What areas did you find you learn on the job e.g. dealing with parents/ setting homework/ being in charge of the class etc. xx
So excited to watch this, I've watched all of your videos at least twice each haha. I'm currently in college to be a teacher in the future so thankyou for the realistic insight, and congratulations on your pregnancy! 💕
Did you feel overwhelmed by the presence of your mentor on placement observing you thinking you might have done something completely wrong with your planning or delivering?
Hi! I have just discovered your channel this week and I am working my way through binge watching all your videos. Can I ask which teacher-based journals you read/where do you find them? Thanks xx
Your videos bring me so much joy !! I’m currently completing my PGCE and LOVING IT and it’s so so great to be able to hear from a UK teacher. I loved your recent video on picture books and this one is super helpful too!! Hope you’re ok :) Ellie xx
Hi, really glad to have found your vlogs! I'm in the final year of my undergrad, and have made a slightly last-minute decision to apply for PGDE Primary. By no means a rash or uninformed decision, mind you - having previously worked with primary children of all year groups and loved the experience, as well as having a languages degree and training in special needs support, I feel I have a lot to bring to the profession. I'm really excited in general and champing at the bit to get in, but the one thing making me slightly nervous at this stage is that working with and relating to very early primary children (I think you'd call it reception in England? Ages 4/5/6 anyway) didn't seem to come naturally to me when I used to help out in primary classes, and I didn't feel as comfortable among them as I did with the rest of the year groups. As I gained more experience, it did get easier and I did start to enjoy it, but I definitely found it more daunting than working with even the slightly older children. As it's been a while since that experience, I worry that if I do get accepted this year, those nerves are going to return and I'm going to have to re-learn everything I discovered. I just wondered if you also felt less comfortable with a particular year group, and if so, how did you overcome this? Did you find training, experience or something else most valuable in making you feel more at ease? Really look forward to hearing from you :)
I’m a year 13 student hoping to study primary teaching next year at uni and your videos are making me so excited and motivated to become a teacher so thank you ❤️
I had a low budget version of the noise levels thing (a laminated sheet from Twinkl & a peg) and still never really used it! 😂 Glad I never spent money on it. I mostly spent money on books - mainly because I love buying books and it was great to have an excuse to buy them without needing to find space for them on my already overflowing bookshelves at home. Probably one of the biggest things I miss about teaching 😂
On my placement a year 1 teacher I was with used those frames to put group names in as we had a carousal of activities each morning and the children would come in and find their group name and do that activity and it saved so much time! Just an idea for others in how you could use them😇
