Primary 5 are exploring Light in science so today we combined a magnifying glass with a kaleidoscope to see things in all different colours. P5 came up with the name of kaleidoglass. Excellent work, very fun and practical!

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Very proud of P5’s Planet Earth cardboard paintings to celebrate #EarthDay. We have still to put our messages of how we can help protect Earth on them but so far they look amazing!! #StrathPGDE

Quick visit back to @CraigdhuPrimary today, planning for block 2 and got the biggest welcome from my P5 class in the playground. Fair to say I am so excited to go back after Easter and explore more learning with this awesome class!

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Huge thanks to @SATPE_Primary for the twilight PE session tonight! Looking forward to bringing some of that back into placement and beyond. So good being able to see some of #Team4 and of course our fearless leader @evelynhart20 #StrathPGDE

Had our last LCE and STEM seminars this week. So taking this opportunity to thank @Angela_deBritos and @grierson_ann for all their support and encouragement. Going into last block of placement with more confidence. #StrathPGDE

Such a fun day at Glasgow Science centre with P5s learning about all the ways we can help protect planet earth! Best part was the IMAX movie filmed from the international space station! Kids and I loved it!

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Amazing PE session learning about how to teach primary gymnastics! Being a hedgehog has never been so much fun! Big thanks to our awesome #Team4 leader @evelynhart20! #cheer

Some days,22months in, it still hits like a shovel in the face that we've lost so much of what we loved. I❤people,I❤teaching & I❤ the best wee @StrathEdu #StrathPGDE #Team4. So here's a selfie of a crazy woman freed from WFH & #Team4 working on body tension in balances #lockit

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Working on some STEM work this week in early years. Colours and reactions as well as making fake snow ❄️ and working on fine motor skills! To top it all off, Santa’s reindeer turned up! I was definitely more excited that the kids!

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Last day of placement today was emotional to say the least. Face masks are good for hiding tears. Had the best first placement with my P3 class! And amazing class teacher. I taught them how to play hockey & shapes but they taught me more than they will ever know!

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Week 4 of placement already! Had a proud teacher moment yesterday whilst the kids are learning about 3D shapes! Making cubes with straws and play dough! And they turned out so great!! Such a good way to discuss vertices and edges!

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Last weekend before my first placement. I’m absolutely bricking it but also full of excitement to learn all there is to learn about becoming a successful teacher! Massive thanks to @evelynhart20 for the amazing support so far! #StrathPGDE @StrathEDU

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

So happy about my placement school and with primary 3 🤩 Very excited but also super nervous/ slightly terrified. Any help/tips would be much appreciated 😂🙈 #StrathPGDE @StrathEDU

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Really great to see Team 4s different talk boxes today for LCE with @Angela_deBritos My curiosity for the solar system led me to my idea. (My dog was not happy after I used her balls as the sun and the earth 😂) #StrathPGDE @StrathEDU @UniStrathclyde

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Busy Monday finished with becoming a Certified Microsoft Innovative Educator. Still a long way to go to fully understand Microsoft and technology in education but it’s a good start 🤩 @StrathEDU @MSEducationUK

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Great to catch up with Team 4 in person! Some of the team out for our first in person lunch! @StrathEDU @UniStrathclyde

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Had such a great meet and greet today with team 4 and our tutor!

[Evelyn Hart @evelynhart20]

Had the best time today meeting @StrathEdu #StrathPGDE #Team4 in person. We know teaching and learning only happens when we build relationships and that's just as important for student teachers. #personalities #laughter #9things #songsforthedancefloor

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

2 really good workshops this week in drama and art. Really good ideas in each area for kids focus and fun projects. Thanks to @grierson_ann and Wilma Eaton for really engaging lessons. My future primary kids have big shoes to fill looking at my art work 😂😂

[Miss Cowan @MissCowan8]

Onto week 2 of PGDE. Lots of information being thrown at us. Hopefully it all makes sense come placement 🤞
