As a new teacher I have found it hard to switch off during the summer as half my mind is on the planning I have to do, the classroom to sort, the books to read etc But there is nothing quite like scaling a vertical rock face with your 6 yr old to really focus on the here n now!!
@beckytaylorgill@gregemmerson Hi Becky, I would love to show your amazing video to my Year 3 class at the start of term to spark a discussion on what makes a great time. I can view the video on Twitter but need to download it to show in school. Is it available on youtube or somewhere else I can download it?
Starting at a new school as an ECT in year 3 and planning first week of literacy lessons to assess kids levels in reading, writing and SPAG before moving onto curriculum. Any ideas for first week back writing tasks to assess what kids can do? @MrTs_NQTs
@AdrianBethune Have loved reading your brilliant book, ‘wellbeing in the primary classroom’ -came across it when researching my 3rd PGCE essay on wellbeing. And now really excited to use your #tribalclassroom ideas with my own class as an ECT in year 3.
@PrimaryThoughts@missmurdochx@MrTs_NQTs Yes very sensitive to that as teach at a school with some very disadvantaged children who may not have had a great summer hols
@_avtl@MrTs_NQTs I am def planning lots of GTKY activities to build relationships etc in the class and have their Y2 data but we want to see what they can do /remember after 6 weeks off
@missmurdochx@MrTs_NQTs Yes this is the sort of thing I was thinking of -a way to GTKY and assess their writing at the same time. Wasn’t sure how much scaffolding to do as I know i have quite a few working below.
@DeputyGrocott Happy FFBWednesday! ECT teaching year 3 from Sept. Previously a UQT at an independent school and did a distance PGCE with QtS but made the decision to go state after getting qualified to gain more experience and better support. Excited but nervous for the year ahead!
