These past 2 weeks after half term have been madness, but I've managed to secure myself a position at a new school. Full time! I am so excited to get started back in a classroom of my own, as I have seen (and borrowed!) some brilliant ideas from a range of classrooms now. I am feeling very ready to get stuck in and implement them in my own way.
Now, one thing I haven't mentioned about my new school is that it is an Outstanding school. Cue me feeling slightly overwhelmed, nervous and flattered all in one go! I won't have my own class for another term, meaning I will have the opportunity to remain as a PPA cover teacher while I get to grips with how the school is run. I love this! I'll be able to get a sneak peek into several classrooms and teach from existing 'outstanding' plans to get my head around standards and expectations.

| This. Book. Is. Amazing! |
In order to further prepare myself, I bought myself a copy of David Dunn's 'How To Be An Outstanding Primary School Teacher'. I bought my copy from Amazon for about £13. It's packed with a range of ideas to implement into my everyday teaching and planning that will hopefully enable my new class to become confident and progressive learners (and make me a better teacher!!) I have already taken some of these ideas and created some resources, which I shall be posting up very soon!
Watch this space!
