There have been many ideas in my practise about what it is I wanted to explore as my comfort zone is in health and wellbeing and mental health areas. However, in such uncertain times, I have decided that moving to a more play based approach for my current class would be something much more doable as it is not in my comfort zone, but it is also not something entirely new. My main area of change is the year group I am teaching as this is the first time I am teaching in Primary 3.
My main area of expertise is in upper school, therefore I have now moved down the school and while I have covered classes, being responsible for children’s developmental learning during a global pandemic is quite a new thing as I am having to think creatively about how to teach younger children. This has been a very daunting but enriching experience so far as I am learning just as much from the children as they are from me.
I am to engage in play based and active learning as far as the guidelines allow and will spend a lot of time outdoors.
