i can hardly believe that my first week of TP has gone! I was in on mon+Tues last week (with a sub cos my teacher has put her back out) and taught my 3 lessons a day - which is actually a big step up from last years two. Then Wed-Fri i was in cabra towers on a residential with my class which was really good fun. We went to tollymore and castlewellan and tyrella and looked at all sorts of things - habitats, trees, rockpool creatures etc and we did exciting things like orienteering and swamp walking and walking up a river. It was good.

Duty on Friday wasnt bad - i was really tired so probably wasnt on best form with the kids or the staff. Took faye and ciara to a kids club in winsdor presby which was ok - made me dream more for our kids club in church.

Theres so much that i'd love to see happening at knock but it just seems like such a mammoth project, but God will give me the strength for one thing at a time...

Kids Club on Sat went well, we gave the kids a choice between craft and games (which they loved) and we used musical instruments in worship which was very exciting and the kids loved it. It was such a little thing thing to change but it felt like one...

Feeling really tired, just written my first schemes of work and am not sure if they are what they are meant to be like - stran hasnt been too full of guidance on what they want. My tutor is coming out to assess me on tues so hopefully i'll find out before then because i dont think she would try to spare my feelings if they were wrong...

Must go and finish my last scheme so that whatever the teacher throws at me tomorrow i'll be ready - ish. I have no idea what i'll be teaching because i havent seen my teacher yet because of her bad back...

nigh night.
