I feel that I really pushed my students to the limit this week. We needed to complete our first summative task assessment for UOI1 - Who We Are and this seemed like quite a big task for all of the groups involved. I ended up supervising most groups during both breaks and lunch times in order for them to get their work completed by the deadline. This meant that by the end of the day on Friday I was absolutely exhausted! I was so proud of all the children in my class as they all put in so much effort and came up with some fantastic designs to represent our class.
School work has taken over my time outside of school a lot in the last few weeks and I regularly find myself working late into the evenings and on weekends. This has highlighted for me the importance of finding a good home/work balance so that I can rest and be the best possible version of myself for my students each day.
I have found that he routines I have set up in class are really beginning to come into play and I am feeling a lot more 'at home' in my teaching. I am still getting my head around making OTJs but I feel with time and experience these will fall into place.
The upcoming weeks are going to be very busy as we have hit the half way mark for Term 1. I will attempt to improve the way I approached, planned and taught the first Unit of Inquiry with the second one which begins next week.
