Starting to set up my first ever class. What are the essentials you ask? #boardgames 🕵‍♂️🕵‍♀️

Spending my day procrastinating and constantly checking my emails for my probation allocation. @Aberdeenshire ? 🤣 #PGDE #UoEPGDEp #waitinggame

I absolutely loved my first day in P6/7. My get to know you lesson consisted of a name game and making figure me out posters. Such a good effort from all! Bring on the next 5 weeks #UoEPGDEp #studentteacher

Group 1 enjoying playing invasion games today in P.E ⛹🏼‍♀️ #UoEPGDEp @MorayHouse

Food for thought. We are trying to prepare children for jobs that currently don't exist. #teaching #primaryteaching #futureofwork

Final day of middle years placement and a sad goodbye to my P4 class. Thank you for being amazing and for my beautiful cards and gifts ❤️. #uoepgdeprimary #pgdeprimary #pgde #placement #sadfarewell #memories

Rain gauges designed, made, and put in place. Predictions for rain collected from Friday to Monday? My class made predictions using a tally chart. #IDL #weather #raingauge #predictions #datahandling

How do you keep the class volume at a reasonable level during teamwork activities?

@Danielle_PGDE Amazing. What year group do you have? I'm doing data handling just now and might use this idea for my graphing

@Danielle_PGDE How are you doing it? In groups? Or singularly?

A half day of teaching this week included a really fun IDL lesson on weather instruments. Make your own anemometer. #primaryteaching #lessonplanning #technologies #socialstudies #science #IDL

I had a great time practising lesson planning yesterday. Can you guess the context of the lesson?

Where has the last 5 weeks gone?Early years placement completed ☑️. I had a ball creating lessons for my P1 class and will always remember those children as my first class ❤️ #UoEPGDEp #PGDE #Primaryteacher #studentteacher

Supporting teachers today in their fight for fair pay. The Scottish Government offering the same 5% to most was laughable. Teachers are underpaid, overworked, and lacking resources. Together we stand. PAY ATTENTION! #EISStrike #PayAttention @EISUnion

Another successful phonics lesson with my P1 placement class. My confidence is growing lesson by lesson. I love looking at what they have accomplished at the end of the day, it makes me feel like I'm making a difference. #UoEPGDEp #makingadifference #studentteacher #phonics

When art meets maths in both my 2-D shapes lessons this week. So chuffed with how well the tasks went down with the children. Excited for my next lessons 😁. #UoEPGDEp #lessonplanning #2DShapes #studentteacher

When you have your first solo lesson on 2D shapes today and the king of the manor has been a marvelous assistant in prepping 🤣🙈 #teacherintraining #PGDEPrimary #marvelousassistant #dogmum #learningaboutshape #shapelesson #2DShapes

Yesterday, my P1 placement class were asked what they wanted to learn about this term. Alot of amazing answers later, P1 decided on Astronauts & Space for our IDL topic. I am excited to get planning! Would love to see what others have done for this topic! #shareyouridea #UoEPGDEp

'Get to know you' lesson with P1. I read them a great book about differences and got them to introduce themselves and tell me something different about them. 🐘Ellie the elephant was a great help at getting them to take turns and listen to one another. #UoEPGDEp #studentteacher

Can't believe that is us finished university input for 5 weeks! I start placement on Monday in P1😬. Any advice? #nervous #UoEPGDEp #studentteacher #kickedoutofthenest #primaryteaching #Advice
