Day 9

Today was my first day at Therfield as i couldnt stay at St Andrews for the full 10 days.
At least being at Therfield i could help out a PE lesson each period.
The first two lessons i had were Tennis. As it is the last lesson of the term for most students I couldnt help them that much with techquce on tennis swings ect. Sadly all i had to do was just watch over them to make sure that they were doing what they were supposed to do as they were being assessed by the teacher leading the lesson.

The 3rd period was quite plain but usful as i had to pump up all the footballs in the PE shed. This made me think about what a teacher would do in day to day work.

4th period i was with Mr May helping out in a year 7 cricket lesson. This was pairs cricket so the rules were pretty simple. I took all the girls and the other teacher took all the boys. This made it a little more easier for me as they are less trubble.
This lesson went quite well as i could tell the students what to do or how to improve somthing and they would listen and learn by example. This was a helpful lesson as it improved my confidence with older children.

5th period was again another non lesson as i had to help clean the PE shed. This was still an enjoyable exercise as i was given lots of things to do and at the end of the lesson hour the teachers and I had cleared away all the junk and made plenty more space in the shed
