My Placement Experience

My placement experience was overall a very positive one. I thoroughly enjoyed being in a classroom and interacting with both children and teachers. I was lucky enough to be able to be in with various year groups throughout the school ( Primary 1, 2, 4 and 7). It was extremely interesting to see just how varied the year groups were and the differences between each year group. It was also good to be able to see the different ways in which different teachers teach and why their teaching reciprocates good learning. I was able to take in so much from the school and learned lots about the school as a whole, children, teachers and even myself. The year group which I felt more confident in was probably p1-4. I really enjoyed being in the younger years, although I did enjoy the older year groups too but I feel I need to build my confidence with them to get the best experience in this area. All in it was something I will always remember and really showed me just what it takes to be a good teacher.
