three quarters of the way through!
I've got only two days to go. It's gone by so quickly!! Well I've gathered lots of info, so I'm quite confident I've got all that I should need... My class teacher fell ill in the first week, and very unfortunately is in hospital, so I haven't actually seen so much of him. But the other teachers have supported me really well, which has been great. Yesterday, I taught maths to my year ones, and then taught two English lessons (in different classes). All went down very well, and I really enjoyed myself. It was great to see the second group of children of whom I taught English, as they have speech and language difficulties, yet they still managed really well with learning new English words!
Today I went on a field trip with a year 3 class. They've been working on a project looking at grain, eg wheat and barley, since March. Today was the final part of the project, we went to thresh and mill the grain. The children used the old methods of threshing and milling. At the end of the morning we used the flour to make waffles - very yummy!!!
Today I also discussed my placement with the Head, she wrote me a very nice report. Of course I asked for an official translation too, so she sent me home with a copy to translate. So Sara and I translated seperately and then compared and polished together. Sara is really proud that she had to help ME with the spelling of quite a few words!!
Oh well, one day I'll know my own language!!
Till next time, Gillian
