Supply Teacher
CurrentTeaching in all year groups in primary school has been an incredible journey for me. It's given me the opportunity to work with students of different ages and witness their growth and development firsthand.In Key Stage 1, I had the pleasure of working with student usually between the ages of 5 and 7. It was such a magical time as they were just starting their educational journey. I focused on building a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy skills. We would explore the world of phonics, helping them master the sounds of letters and blend them together to read and write. Maths lessons involved lots of hands-on activities, using manipulatives and games to develop their understanding of numbers, shapes, and basic operations. We also had fun with creative projects, like storytelling and art, to nurture their imagination and self-expression. I had the chance to dive deeper into subjects like English, Maths, and Science.Moving on to Key Stage 2, I had the privilege of teaching slightly older children, typically between 7 and 11 years old. This stage was all about building upon the foundations laid in Key Stage 1 and delving deeper into subjects like English, Maths, and Science. In English, we focused on expanding their vocabulary, honing their writing skills, and exploring different genres of literature. Maths lessons became more complex, covering topics like fractions, decimals, and problem-solving strategies. Science lessons were a blast, conducting experiments and investigations to foster their curiosity and understanding of the natural world. Throughout both Key Stages, I always aimed to create a positive and inclusive learning environment. I encouraged collaboration and teamwork, allowing students to learn from each other and develop social skills. It was incredibly rewarding to see their growth, both academically and personally, as they gained confidence and a love for learning.
