Firth Park Placement 1
Firth Park...fantastic!
I absolutely love it!
A little bit daunting being placed at a school that you only hear negative things about, however...never judge a book by its cover, although a difficult school the atmosphere is great, the technology team seem very intune with one-another and there is a generally a good atmosphere. Olly Lewis (a previous Hallam student on the PGCE) is currently developing a STEM project, a formular 1 rally car for the kids to design and make and eventually test drive-how fantastic! the kids love it!
The pupils seem to lack confidence and self esteem in many areas, and I do feel this is perhaps why their behaviour is particularly poor, maybe with more positive feedback and encouragement this will improve??? Classes were quite a challenge last week, often found myself stepping in to teach simple drawing techniques to the year 7's who were once again simply lacking confidence in their abilities. Hope everyone has a fantastic placement! Good Luck!
