Final week!
Monday was spent reflecting on their trip to London and the others presented their topics. Throughout the rest of the week the children we're doing self- portraits, thank- you letters to the people involved with the trip and their tennis coaching sessions. This week went incredibly fast!
Didn't do a massive amount of teaching this week as they didn't have English or maths but was still kept busy supporting groups and individuals with other work. Also got a look at the schools new radio equipment and had a little play with one of the schools Digital Leader children.
The school has a great communal spirit, children all behave beautifully and everyone is extremely friendly. I've had loads of great opportunities at this school that I probably wouldn't have got at others. I feel that other the past five weeks I've grown in confidence in my abilities as a teacher and already can't wait to get back into the classroom!
Thank-you Cockwood, I hope to visit soon!

Summer Placement 2015 Week 4
This week the majority of the class have gone off to London for the week as a treat for the Y6's finishing their SATS. They will be visiting various attractions including the Cutty Sark, Royal Albert Hall, Madam Tussards, Parliament and even Lego Land!
I've been left with the five children who for whatever reason couldn't make the trip. At the beginning of the week the children each choose a topic of their interest. We had pop stars, JK Rowling, Isle of Wight, off- roaders and football picked. Then we decided on ways they could present their chosen topic to the rest of the class we had a poster, a booklet, diagrams and PowerPoint presentations. The children did join up with class 2 for PE lessons and we used the Pop Kits again to help break down the week.
Overall a very relaxed week (even let the children listen to the radio for most the time as a treat). It was nice to be given full responsibility of these children for the week and was great to get to know them better.
