4:45 pm on the 4th of September, 2006The first day of my last school placement. I was very apprehensive about going to this school, it isn’t in the best of areas and any reputation I’d heard about it before today was bad. I really enjoyed myself though, the first impressions of it were positive, the foyer was welcoming and full (quietly busy) with smartly dressed pupils deing generally well behaved. The DHT that met with me first off was really friendly and seems approachable, the department is good too. It’s a fairly compact affair with four workshops in not much space, (One point of note is that to me the machines seem very close to the workbenches) and the two classrooms are separated by the technician’s store and a corridor. I’ve had five classes today with a good mix of abilities, all the classes were on the whole amenable and complient.
I’m looking forward to having a good placement here, I’ve already got two lessons to prepare for Wednesday. One I have exciting plans for using Inventor as an aid to drawing true lengths and developments of pyramids.
