Now, I'm not one to brag but I had a brilliant P.E. lesson and observation yesterday. I was initially so scared because I am not a fan of P.E. and the thought of managing the behaviour of 32 children on the field makes me nervous.
But, when I got out there on the field and the children were all sat before me, I was able to channel what I know about good teaching and apply that to P.E. I made sure that I showed progression when I was introducing what I was doing including where my lesson slot into the grand scheme of P.E. and where it would take them.
Some of the boys thought they would be clever and tell me that they already knew how to bowl over arm and therefore didn't need to know how to bowl underarm but I watched them and they realised that they couldn't hit the target with their underarm bowling. Once they got off their high horse about being a boy and knowing more than me, they settled down and actually practiced the skill.
My teacher observing me gave me 7 strengths and only 2 targets where 1 of them was to have simply explained why they took one step forward- to balance them. It was so much better than I thought it would be and I can't believe how well it did go.
One more observation to go and then my final conference. It's all coming to an end!
