I just got given the most useful booklet ever on behavioural techniques. It basically suggests how to deal with a child disturbing the class, or being defiant, or wrecking things. Granted, "Hit with spade and lock in PE shed" isn't one of the suggested options but I'm taking the booklet as a guideline rather than a set of rules. Ahem.
Also found out this week that we've got a horde of reception children coming in to visit on the 10th or the 17th (depending on which group I get assigned to). This terrifies me. Reception children cry when they see me. They do, it's happened before. We're looking at the non-core aspects of the curriculum, the so called "Foundation" subjects, and as the foundation curriculum isn't split into English, maths, geography etc. it's things like "Knowledge and understanding of the world around them" and other guff. So we've got these kids coming in for 40 minutes where we have to come up with play activities. Again, play activities don't include taking them to the pond round the back of the college and drowning them, but it's an idea if they get out of hand I guess.
Uni has suddenly got more interesting now we're looking at the foundation subjects. Three/four months of english, maths and science was starting to grate. I'm just looking forward to the next teaching practice. The last one called on us to teach english and maths - the english was fine but the maths was an abortion as, as most of you will know, maths isn't my strong point. But now I get to teach more interesting things - I'm hoping the kids will be doing their NC history module 4 - Britain in the 1930s and the Second World War. Cos I can do that shit! But I can also do geography fairly well so I'm just looking forward to getting mucked in.
I've found a house, too! £38/week, tv license and water bills included in the rent, and it's quite a nice airy place too. I'm living with Lou, Dan from across the hall, and Lou's friend Gemma. I know there's a huge risk involved with moving in with the girlfriend, but I felt that as she was my best friend up here before we got together, then it's not going to be an issue. As Char said, it's better to move in with the GF than to make a GF in the house. I don't know why he said that and I sure as hell can't remember the context. To be fair, he probably never said it. But yes, contracts all signed, nice landlord, and we can move in at any point during the summer and pay a £50 one off fee to live there in the summer - not paying full rent til September! Very excited.
That's enough for now. Happy birthday for tomorrow, Lindsay. And has anyone heard anything from Gary yet?
