This is going to be a catch up post so might be a bit longer......

Monday 19th Sept
I had a busy day at school which involved me taking my first whole lesson. It went well no one killed anyone else in the practical so i am taking this as a victory. Obviously lots of things I can improve on but a good start! I had to take Tolley to the vets today about his mad digging up the house behaviour if we aren't there and people make noises or there is a storm. Vet was very helpful and since this has been ongoing for over 2 years he has given me some medication for Tolly to take just before a storm......let hope it works!
This evening Simon and I went to beginers German lessons, it was great fun and we are suppossed to practise 5 mins per day and have just realised we haven't been......

Tuesday 20th Sept
As one of my tasks for my SCITT course I had to work as a Lab Technician for the day.
Good fun and they needed me as one of the other technicians was off sick. Having worked in a lab for a a few years before having Morgan I was quite suprised at their complete lack of systems and I am in the process of writing a short report for my QTS Portfolio. I was suppossed to go to a Virgin Vie party, but I was just too tired to move (Sorry Roz)

Wednesday 21st Sept
Some team teaching today which was good but I am finding that I am adapting to each different teachers style rather than developing my own right now. With some teachers I have a very organised attitude and with others it is more flexible.
I tried to take my QTS ICT skills test but the test centre couldn't get it to work so I will have to try agan tomorrow. Simon and I then rushed out to Morgan's schools Parents discussion evening (thanks to Mike and Moo who babysat at the last minute for us!)
An intesrestng evening and that s all i am saying on the matter!

FINALLY TODAY: THURSDAY 22ND SEPT

In my first lesson the teacher decided to move some of the children as the previous lessons had been quite disruptive. This seemed to have a much more positive effect in the classroom but the tables are arranged in 4 groups and cannot be seperated. The TA connected to ths class commented that this class behaves alot better in other classes as they sit in desks arranged in pairs. I might try to arrange to observe some of these pupils in a lesson outside the science department and compare behaviour.
I bunked off school early today (with permission from HOD) to try again to take my ICT test. They are still having problems so decieded to try my literacy test which I hadn't prepared for but I managed to pass so thats what matters!

Well tonight I must evaluate the lesson I taught today, play with a volcano write up my report on beng a technician for a day and make a spreadsheet.
Wow I bet you can't wait for tomorrows installment now!
