Free of Observations...

... For this placement... But not forever! :(

I have had observation galore this week, yesterday I was observed for my phonics and today by my tutor for literacy. I'm super glad that they are now all over and I have got 3 satisfactory observations. Now, that you might ask sounds a little crap but considering the only two options is satisfactory and unsatisfactory- satisfactory is brilliant.

I'm getting a lot more confident and comfortable with the children and one of the best compliments I have had from my tutor was:

"You have a fantastic relationship with the children, they respect you and you respect them. I mean, one boy even came up to give you a hug."

I love that to her being hugged by a child was a massive win for being a teacher, I just call that being a nice teacher with a good attitude... Being hugged by children is a daily occurrence for me.

I'm looking forward to spending the rest of the tomorrow with the children and then Friday at uni with my best girls. A week off and then the final week at school where fun is sure to come. I can't wait. It's so exciting.

Also, on a sidenote, today is 11/12/13, which I think is pretty cool. I'm a little lame that I find these things exciting!!

Cheerio my loveys,

Nicole
