My Fourth Practice at Gilberthorpe School











During my fourth practice I had the opportunity to do a lot of different things with the students.
This included making sandwiches as part of our health unit, using COWS and other forms of ICT in Numeracy, Health and Technology. I was also able to organise a lot of fun shape activities in Geometry. The class loved using the COWS and being able to eat their tasty, healthy sandwiches designed by them.



My Third Practice at Cobham Intermediate teaching Yr7




After teaching Year One Cobham was a big change. I learnt a lot on this practice and was able to take a Science unit on a stream study which fitted in well with our camp to Kaituna.

While studying metamorphosis students decided to bring in Monarch Caterpillars. These became a real interest to the students. Naming and daily status updates become very important in the class.
Students got to design their own insects that used camouflage to hide in their surroundings.
