I have thoroughly enjoyed induction week and my first week of classes at UWS.
Throughout induction week, the university not only armed students with an abundance of freebies but also ensured that we knew both what was expected of us and what we could expect from the course. At the end of induction week, we met our Mentoring Family which is made up of students from BA2 through to BA4. This gave BA1 students an idea of the experiences we would have over the next four years and was the perfect opportunity to ask any last-minute questions before classes began on Monday.
The lectures and workshops that I attended in the first week of classes were all very helpful and gave me a good insight into the things I could expect from each of the modules in terms of both classes and assessments. The introductory workshops for the Situated Communication module in particular were extremely useful in easing students into university life. One workshop introduced us to Moodle, an online tool that we will be using throughout the course while another, aptly named ‘Getting to Know You’, gave us a chance to chat to and get to know more people in our course.
Overall, my first two weeks of university have been fantastic! Everyone from tutors to students have been extremely welcoming and friendly and have passed on a wealth of information which has eased any pre-university woes.

Coming up to my first school placement in October I am looking forward to be able to gain even more insight into what being a teacher will be like. I am hoping that from this placement I will be able to identify my current strengths in a classroom environment but also be able to identify any weaknesses that I have so that I can work on them before going on placement in second year. I am excited to find out what school I will be going to and finding out who I will be going on placement with, but I am also nervous as we don’t find out where we are going until the week before placement starts. I am interested to see the different teaching styles that the teacher I work with will use and also how they control the class and effectively deal with each individual students needs within the classroom as there are many. Overall, I am eager to go on placement and am excited to learn lots more about working within a classroom environment but also helping and communicating effectively with all of the pupils within the classroom and their class teacher.

As the first year of placement is fast approaching, I have an overwhelming feeling of excitement and additionally feeling anxious as it is a whole new experience.
I have a small amount of experience of working with primary aged children; such as doing my work experience in a local primary school and also volunteering in an Additional Support Needs class in my last year of high school. Whilst I am looking forward to my first year of placement in October, I am also feeling nervous as I know I will be faced with new challenges that I have not had to deal with before.
I am interested to see after the two weeks of placement how I will assess myself, looking at my strengths and areas of development. Having the chance to observe a teacher during the placement will give a real insight into what it’s like having your own class.
Using these blog posts will allow me to record any progress made over the next 4 years, and therefore I will be able to reflect back to them at anytime to compare my strengths and weaknesses from the previous years.
