hi emma. thanks. i hope your results are good when you get them. 16july isn't far off - thats only like just over 3 weeks off now.
good luck for them - i would keep my toes crossed for you but i'd most definitely fall over so i won't bother if its ok lol!.
my placement is going ok. some days i love it (like today) and some days i hate it (like yesterday). but overall its going alright so far, and hasn't completely put me off the idea of doing a PGCE.
its in a school, and because yrs 10, 11, 12, and 13 are not in right now theres hardly any maths lesson on, which means that most of the time when i ask if theres any lessons i can observe i'm told "not right now - why don't you go sit in the staffroom for a while". which i don't mind, because i understand theres no lessons, but it just gets a bit boring sometimes. like yesterday i arrived at 8:15. sat in the staffroom doing nothing till after break (11:10ish). went to 1 lesson where the pupils were just doing an exam. then was told thats the only maths lesson for today. so i told them i'd go and work on my assignments at home and left.
today was great as the year 6's weere in on an induction day. i attatched myself to a form and tracked them for the day. also rather than just being sat in a corner observing i could get involved and do stuff - within a "classroom assistant" role rather than an "invisible observer sat in the corner" role.
its back to the staffroom tomorrow though as yr 6's aren't in again. will make sure i've packed a good book in my bag to read lol!
even though my results were extremely varied (in one algebra module i got 51% [my lowest score] but in another algebra module i got 89% [my highest score]), i got 72% i.e. a 1st overall.
