On Tuesday & Wednesday last week, I taught a Year 5 class at Stanburn School, one of my favourite schoolsd and one I have visited most often. Remember the school with the singing assembly? It's this one! (I got to be a part of another singing assembly too that featured London's Burning in round form!).
Now my time with this class got off to a rough start. I had taught them for a few lessons here and there in the past, and had basically been tested by a few characters in the class! However, I let them know I hadn't forgotten my time with them! While Tuesday I spent the whole day speaking to the class in a raised voice, and spent a fair amount of time at the gym that evening releasing my pent up energy, Wednesday was like a 180 degree turn in behaviour! It might have helped that a few children were absent for the Diwali holiday, but I just couldn't believe my luck! And then to get this card signed by quite a few of the children, it was like woah! I guess I won them over! While it doesn't beat little hugs and waves from young children, it sure does make you feel pretty good as a supply teacher!
