You're very welcome 🤗 Are you applying for teacher training atm then? X

@ Hi, yes I am…. It’s a big shift because I love the work I am leaving in many ways (investigative journalism) but it’s a very uncertain world and I love history and have enjoyed coaching before …. So I am hoping teaching history will work well ! How are you finding teaching these days ? ⭐️

Very true ❤️

Absolutely, that goes without saying. Adaptive teaching is fundamental, but giving flexibility to allow children to try different things, methods or approaches is also useful. My reel was generally speaking though as I know teachers can often doubt their own abilities if somebody can't see or understand their vision (be it for a lesson, activity, behaviour approach etc). Merry Christmas 🎁

And? How was it? ☺️

@PetitePrimary was very good. More positive feedback than neg.

Well that's great news! ​@@okvr90

Oh no, what's happened?

Thank you so much, that's very kind! Are you currently applying to teacher training then?

True, but then you also have to keep flicking through the mark scheme too! I'm still unsure which is quicker 🤔

I mean that’s one way

That sounds pretty fun though I can't lie... Not sure my chair would do that across carpet though. I'd be pulling myself on tables to move the chair 😂

🤣🤣 What do you do?

@@PetitePrimary 😭😭

Oh no, what was your feedback?

You're welcome, thanks for watching ☺️

Hi Mollie, Easiest to message me on Instagram @thepetiteprimary x

It's normally a checklist which goes through objectives and you have to self evaluate how confident you feel in that area or how much knowledge you have.

Hi, could you be a bit more specific please? X

If your mentor and team are not supporting you or even saying hi back

@@heavensgate271 Speak out and tell your training provider. That's not acceptable and not fathomable

Yes it is not and not acceptable I'm too old to put up with that bs

@heavensgate271 you're paying for training, make sure you're learning. Can't do that with no communication

That's good to hear! Enjoying it too?

Yes, it's really fun to teach, especially when you see the progress with the student ​@PetitePrimary

@@okvr90 So true!

You're more than welcome! Which one did you find most helpful?

No worries! How's your training currently going? X

No worries at all! I have lots of interview tips once you start applying for jobs too 😉

I'm sorry to hear this Jordan 😔 It's hard not to panic, take it to heart or let it ruin your confidence. I hope Thursday will be ok. Feel free to message me @thepetiteprimary on Insta if you want a chat x

This is generally an informative video, I'm not saying I'm leaving. Thanks for checking in though 🥰

Yes! There are lots of transferable skills from being a trainer. Go for it ☺️ If you need any help with your personal statement, you can message me on insta @thepetiteprimary x

Do you have QTS too?

Are you done with your interview I also have physics interview with Leeds trinity university I also need some tips

You need a degree and QTS to become a primary teacher

Excuse me?

Thank you so much for a) watching, b) for sharing and c) not giving up! It's horrid to hear about your first experience, but I'm so glad it's better now 😁

Hi 😊 - Revision/BBC Bitesize notes - Adapting mid-lesson can be shown through reflection notes or you can mention it in mentor meetings which will then be noted down Hope that helps x

No harm in that, but depending on age and academic ability, it could be overwhelming. A little like some children could have a whole page full of corrections, but it's best to pick a select few that they can edit without having too much to look at. You'd also have to consider how you help them navigate all of those word banks. For some children, giving a whole pack could make them feel like us reading a whole book. There are definitely pros though - I'm just playing devil's advocate. What do you think?

Yay, are you excited? Classrooms vary so so much, you can be imaginative, but it's impossible to truly picture what it'll look like! Part of the fun (maybe)? 😉

@@PetitePrimary I’m very excited and a little nervous (anticipation etc)

@@cassieosbourne7666 That's completely normal. I hope you enjoy it though! Will you go straight into school? X

@@PetitePrimary yep. My entire PGCE is in a school (I’m in year 1)

@@cassieosbourne7666 I was school direct too, but I think we had like one or two training days too. Honestly being in the classroom is an incredible experience - learning on the job is the best because every day is so different!

You would have to do teacher training (with or without a PGCE is irrelevant) which will award you QTS. This stands for Qualified Teacher Status which is what you need to teach.

Religious education is taught as a subject in the curriculum but all religions are covered. There are some Christian schools in England, but if they're still under the government authority (not independent), then they will still have to cover other religions but they will pray and have religious assemblies.

Thanks! Knew I could rely on somebody 😂

Eeek! I'm excited for you too 😀 Do keep in touch on Instagram @thepetiteprimary 💓 I'd love to hear how you get on! Which year group would you like if you could choose? Xx

@@PetitePrimary I have a gut feeling it will be 4 or 6

@@PetitePrimary found out this morning that I’m in year 1

It stands for spelling punctuation and grammar. Hope that helps ☺️

There will be more! I did end up releasing my experiences about Year 6 if you haven't already seen that ☺️ Let me know and I can send you the link x

Hi there, do you mean the link to apply for teacher training? If it's a link I mentioned in the video, it will be in the description. Let me know if you can't find it x

Certainly does!

Aw amazing Bella, that's so lovely to hear! How are you feeling about Monday? Xx

@@PetitePrimary equal parts excited and terrified haha 😅 but i think it'll all be fine once the first day is over!

Hi Alice, Thank you so much - what lovely words and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Regarding your question, what do you mean by "third class?" X

​@@PetitePrimaryI mean graduating with a third class from the university (first degree)

@@aliceedache7226 Ah I see, sorry I still had (school) class still in my head. You will have to check course providers as some may accept this and some may not. They will also look at your GCSE grade, including science if you're interested in teaching primary x

Ooh give me a clue, which ones are they? 🤔

That's loads! Which ones? 😍

Hi Sophie, Thanks for commenting again! Yeah Year 6 can be daunting, but like I mentioned in my video, I felt the same. Build those relationships ASAP and establish and encourage good learning behaviours from early on, especially nearing SATS. Good luck! Xx

@@PetitePrimary haha yes finally worked 😆 thank you for the advice! X

@@sophiebresnahan7509 No worries! What's terrifying you most 😬? X

Hey Sophie! This is multiple years old now and I've made many videos since as I've changed positions and year groups a few times now. Funny you mentioned Year 6, I've just finished teaching them and released a video yesterday about my experience (the good and bad). Have you seen it? I can link it if not x

@@PetitePrimary Omg! I don't know how it happened but I had commented this on your Yr 6 video 🙈 Don't have a clue how it ended up here! Just watched this one as well and both videos are great, keep you the fab work x

@@sophiebresnahan7509 Oh 😅 How strange? Are you able to copy and paste it over? I wouldn't want there to be an issue with commenting on my videos 🥺 x

@@PetitePrimary of course! Will do that now :)

@@sophiebresnahan7509 Thank you ❤️

Option 2) was popular when I posted this on Instagram too! Although by the sounds of it you're not awfully keen on personal statements either?
