This truly is a big chill. The temperature remains below freezing so nothing is melting and they are not sure how many teachers are going to make it in so......only Years 9,10,11 today and no uniform. It feels like Christmas week all over again.
Everyone is lethargic today, especially the kids, I can hardly rouse my Year 10s to do anything which is a shame as I am being observed. In the end, it goes quite well and DVS gives me a good rating. She is looking for more involvement from the LSA (Learning Support Assistant) in the class room. This is a fair point. I have lofty intentions of doing this but they are currently falling short as I barely have the time to organise myself let alone anyone else. Taking the time is worth it as they are a essentially an extra teacher who can help with classroom management, differentiation, focusing on some pupils so I can get round the rest.
