Better late than never!

It's been a while bloggspot, I am affraid the christmas season took hold of me and I forgot all about you. I finished my fun packed week of placement. Although I was not able to do much of the tasks set by my lecturers I was able to gain valuable experience in a primary school enviroment. I had the pleasure of watching the school play a overwhelming ten times! Also I cut out leaves forctree costumes for six hours on my final day of placement. I was able to observe the teachers assistant doing joly phonic flash cards with the pupils in the morning before the register. The teacher did an improvised lesson betweeen the two plays which was quite good but I still was not able to see how the teacher taught the children and how she interacted with them. I am looking forward with anticipation to my second placement in year two, so I can get a better idea of how the primary school system works.
