And… relax!
5:55 pm on the 9th of November, 2006Today was my last day at school. The next time I walk into a school (to teach at least) I will be getting paid for it, and expected to produce some results, it’s quite a daunting thought.
I’ll not think about that much now though, for now I’ll concentrate on the fact that the last 10 weeks have been absolutely fantastic, there have been highs and low, laughter and tears (not mine though), and a huge amount of learning. Even though this blog os anonymous in terms of what school I was at I’d like to still thank everyone who is at that school, especially the technical department, who have been brilliant from start to finish with lots of support and advice (and no fear of just pushing me in front of a class and leaving me to it) for me about how to get ahead in this game. I was humbled this morning when having produced the obligitory cakes for the staff the PT brought out a bottle of wine for me - Thank you, you needn’t have!
I also bumped into a PGCE student on the way home and made the connection with this blog that he’s started writing - probably as a result of David and Ewan.
It’s been a very quick and tiring 9 weeks of teaching but now it’s back to uni, head down and batter my way through the other hurdles between me and graduation. Before that though I’m going to the Kelvinhall climbing wall to teach some freshers how to climb 10′ using only a rope and some clever metalwork - known as SRT to those in the know.
