Starting to set up my first ever class. What are the essentials you ask? #boardgames 🕵‍♂️🕵‍♀️

Spending my day procrastinating and constantly checking my emails for my probation allocation. @Aberdeenshire ? 🤣

I absolutely loved my first day in P6/7. My get to know you lesson consisted of a name game and making figure me out posters. Such a good effort from all! Bring on the next 5 weeks

Food for thought. We are trying to prepare children for jobs that currently don't exist.

Final day of middle years placement and a sad goodbye to my P4 class. Thank you for being amazing and for my beautiful cards and gifts ❤️.

Rain gauges designed, made, and put in place.
Predictions for rain collected from Friday to Monday?
My class made predictions using a tally chart.

How do you keep the class volume at a reasonable level during teamwork activities?

[Miss Smith @MissSmith5033]

@Danielle_PGDE Amazing. What year group do you have? I'm doing data handling just now and might use this idea for my graphing

[Miss Smith @MissSmith5033]

@Danielle_PGDE How are you doing it? In groups? Or singularly?

A half day of teaching this week included a really fun IDL lesson on weather instruments.
Make your own anemometer.

I had a great time practising lesson planning yesterday. Can you guess the context of the lesson?

Where has the last 5 weeks gone?Early years placement completed ☑️. I had a ball creating lessons for my P1 class and will always remember those children as my first class ❤️

Supporting teachers today in their fight for fair pay. The Scottish Government offering the same 5% to most was laughable. Teachers are underpaid, overworked, and lacking resources. Together we stand. PAY ATTENTION!

Another successful phonics lesson with my P1 placement class. My confidence is growing lesson by lesson. I love looking at what they have accomplished at the end of the day, it makes me feel like I'm making a difference. #UoEPGDEp #makingadifference #studentteacher #phonics

When art meets maths in both my 2-D shapes lessons this week. So chuffed with how well the tasks went down with the children. Excited for my next lessons 😁.

When you have your first solo lesson on 2D shapes today and the king of the manor has been a marvelous assistant in prepping 🤣🙈

Yesterday, my P1 placement class were asked what they wanted to learn about this term. Alot of amazing answers later, P1 decided on Astronauts & Space for our IDL topic. I am excited to get planning! Would love to see what others have done for this topic! #shareyouridea #UoEPGDEp

[Miss Smith @MissSmith5033]

'Get to know you' lesson with P1. I read them a great book about differences and got them to introduce themselves and tell me something different about them.
🐘Ellie the elephant was a great help at getting them to take turns and listen to one another. #UoEPGDEp #studentteacher

[Miss Smith @MissSmith5033]

Can't believe that is us finished university input for 5 weeks! I start placement on Monday in P1😬.
Any advice?
