Nativity

Today we got given a task which was to re write the nativity story in a certain way. Mandy had made a list of options such as animtion, rap, sports commentary and more. After we had seen the list Mandy had put us into pairs and gave us one of the things that where on the list. I was put with Rhiannon and were told to do it in sign. We started off by deciding that Rhiannon would teach me how to sign the nativity story as she knows alot about sign langauge. After many attempts we then went on to decide that it would be better if I would read out the brief summary of the nativity while Rhiannon would sign beside me.

Placement week :)

So this week was placement week and so I chose to go come home to the primary school that I went to when I was younger. It is a welsh and english school and I decided to go to the welsh section as I was taught in welsh. On the first day I went to dosbarth 6 (class 6). On the second day I went to nursery and then for the rest of the week I stayed in dosbarth derbyn (reception). The reason that I got put in reception class for the last three days was because I know that I would like to work with children around this age and thought that I would get more out and enjoy it more in this class. I also thought it would be good for me to have a day or two in other classes to have the experience and to be aware of the diferences within these classes. The class I enjoyed the most was reception. The reason for this is because I found that I got more out of it as I was with children within the age group of what I hope to work with in the future. During the week I had learnt many things about how the children learn and how the teachers learn them. I had really enjoyed my week, and found myself not wanting to leave. Hope you all had a good time at your placement :)
