Semester 1 Reflection

My experiences of the course so far have varied. Both the teaching modules and my elective in Psychology have challenged me and developed a range of my skills. The one incident that impacted me the most was the assignment in the ‘Working Together’ module. I found it challenging to work with a group of people […]

Mathematics as a Learner

“Mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” –Albert Einstien Mathematics was always a strong subject of mine throughout primary school and secondary school. That does not mean I am saying it was easy. I worked hard to pass all my maths tests and get every answer right in the workbooks. Those SHM … Continue reading “Mathematics as a Learner”

As a pupil, I generally enjoyed maths as a subject. Although I didn’t find it particularly easy, I found joy in the achievement of working out a problem and finding the answer and experimenting with different ways of  solving a problem, figuring out what worked best for me.

Journal + Online = Adventure

Recently, I’ve been trying to think of new ways of doing things. Not that my brain isn’t ‘working’ but perhaps, you could say I’m racing at 20mph on a 50mph road. Real fact: years ago, my driving instructor used to constantly remind me to increase the speed on motorways. But, as my brain was on … Continue reading “Journal + Online = Adventure”

It’s best not to discuss these, as we all have our own hills to climb. But, sometimes amazing things occur too.

As much as I genuinely love the work – and will hopefully do some of it again in the future – having three jobs and university lectures was taking it’s tole.

It’s not meetings… it’s CIRCLE TIME!

I always like a quick reflection here and there. And I always do love a few Christmas decorations here and there. But, you see, it’s only the 11th of November – lots more days left – and we are already seeing Starbucks sell your coffee because… ‘you really want that Christmas tree cup.’ I was … Continue reading “It’s not meetings… it’s CIRCLE TIME!”

LEARNING THEME EXPLORED THROUGH SONG AND DANCE

The theme of shape has been chosen and this will be explored through song and dance. This song was selected because it is very upbeat and catchy.

Teaching Modern Languages

Teaching modern languages in primary school is a subject that I am passionate about as I have had my own positive learning experiences  that I am inspired to emulate. I have studied French academically for 9 years now, and my love for the language began when I was first introduced to it in Primary 6. … Continue reading “Teaching Modern Languages”
