I love all the fish work and have learned a bit myself about octopusses and crabs. I agree on the learning intentions-it kills things dead sometimes. I much prefer the approach of setting up scenarios either stories or problems to solve that stimulate the children's imaginantion and get them excited to help/solve things rather than telling them exactly what it is that they will be learning. In my school with the new head we now also have 'steps to success' which are tedious in the extreme and can be done in a much more integrated way. One of the many reasons I am leaving! I hope you find a great school for September that is run by someone with a heart and common sense!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-61023273116066877602014-06-10T20:26:25.810+01:002014-06-10T20:26:25.810+01:00Congratulations!

That was grim and grey and the only colour in class I remember was those little wooden blocks in a box for counting shared between 30 other kids. Didn't see them often and I got a primary colour once but mostly the little white square cubes were passed along the line of waiting hands as they were more numerous. Gold stars and some glitter once a year was as racy as it got 50 years ago in my school. Still enjoyed it though :o) blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-84954362930163715022014-06-08T22:06:02.875+01:002014-06-08T22:06:02.875+01:00Congratulations!

You have to learn to pay lip service to various bits and bobs/'in' ideas/ ridiculous suggestions/ new daft legislation so that you can focus on what is most important, educating your class of fascinating individuals. Have fun and good luck for September.Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970252532508754001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-3218182206386841672014-06-05T04:00:10.580+01:002014-06-05T04:00:10.580+01:00Congrats.

Especially with your creative and imaginative talent you'll have them eating out of your hands.<br /><br />I'm assuming learning intentions are the same as aims and outcomes and if so I only ever write these after the fact. I also hate the constant summary/signposting tutors love you to put in all the way through a lesson. I find it intrusive and breaks the flow. The best thing about being qualified is being able to make the lessons yours and your students. The only advice I would give is script/annotate your lessons and write the ruddy references down(!) as there is nothing worse than going back to something and not being able to locate the source material. Enjoy!RedSetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273883309628093072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-87540791862843144812014-06-04T00:02:13.253+01:002014-06-04T00:02:13.253+01:00Congratulations on finishing!
