Day 326 - Baptism Of Fire

Monday March 8th

First day at More House and it was a baptism of fire - 4 lessons straight off completely solo. Given that all the boys have some kind of learning difficulty this was both brave and foolish. Having only 8-10 boys in the class make a huge difference and I was so much more relaxed than at Kings' - more time to think on my feet without questions firing in from all directions.

My lesson plans are much simpler - hand written with a start, main and plenary. I am based out of one classroom so I don't have to lug a plastic box and my lap top around with me. No IWB so I had to use basic resources rather than trying to juggle lots of different things.

Looking back, it was a good first day. I survived. No-one threw a chair at me.
