Back from 2 week spring break. First week of summer term!
Monday
There was no CPD session in the morning thus I started the day with Year 10 continuing coursework.
ended the day with the Year 8’s where we…
Tuesday
Tuesday was PSHE, which stands for Physical Social and Health Education if you didn’t know. This means all lessons are cancelled for that day and pupils have all ay sessions with their tutor(s) as a form.
Wednesday
Started the day with Year 7’s. It was the first lesson back with them after the two-week spring break. Most pupils forgot how to calculate simple percentages this meant that I had to adjust the lesson and practice calculating percentages. The work I initially set was too difficult. So I resorted to a text book.
Moved on to teaching year 8’s and 10’s.
Thursday
NUT national strike. Pupils very happy to get another day off!
Friday
Taught year 7 in the morning. The pace of the lesson wasn’t as fast as I would’ve liked. Some of them also seemed to have forgotten the number of detentions they had with me in the previous term. Hence, I had to start dishing it out. Now it’s back to 1 hour long detentions after school. Suits me fine because I have got a lot of paper work to do next week.
Year 8
Chucked two pupils out. –> meeting the HoY 8.
Absolutely furious with myself today. Even though most pupils worked, I feel that this was the worst day I have had so far on the PGCE.
Targets for next week:
- Focus on pupil management.
- Demonstrate enough examples on board
- Don’t start until there is complete silence
- Give warnings, reiterate expectations, and explain what pupils are doing wrong.
