Snowboarding

Snowboarding is hard. I have recently been learning to snowboard at xscape and have found through going on holiday last week that xscape does not prepare you for mountain snowboarding.

Holiday

I have found that you should always plan ahead when it comes to arranging holidays. If i had thought properly through my requirements that i would have for this year at university i may not have booked a snowboarding holiday the week before exams.

Placement

Recently BEd 3 have been taking part in serial days at their placement schools. We found out our class, class teachers and carried out observations. It still amazes me how different every class can be. If anyone has any tips for classroom management they would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Assessments and Reading

Something that I have always struggled with throughout my studies is handling the vast amount of reading materials available when trying to such for appropriate sources of information. Does anyone have any tips for searching for information and filtering out the irrelevant? Thank you x

Saturdays

I often wonder what it will/would be like to be a primary teacher. Obviously our course is meant to prepare us for the world of work. We experience the stresses and strains as well as the success and feeling of accomplishment. Honestly I don't think any amount of practise will prepare me for doing paper work on a Saturday.

Newspaper

Today in our tutorial we made a mock newspaper. I found that this would be a great activity to carry out with children in classroom as they will develop their collaboration skills as they will need to decide roles and responsibilities before beginning the task and ensure coherence throughout their newspaper. They will also benefit by developing their problem solving skills as they are required to distribute assignments then edit and draft the newspaper together and decide what news should go onto what page.

The Cold

I have recently caught the dreaded cold virus. All I feel like doing is sleeping but needs must and I must go to uni and work. Booo xxx
