Today was week three of the programme at St Andrews (lesson plan below):
This lesson involved me managing two groups (12 children) both baking soda bread, with them being a year four class they were slightly more difficult to control than previous weeks. During the second part of the session I was in charge of the digestive system station, I felt confident at this station due to my background in physiology. I really enjoyed assisting this session and felt that the students learnt quite a lot they didn't previously know about the functions of the digestive organs, which hopefully they left the session remembering.
Working Relationships
One of my aims for my work placement was to develop successful working relationships, with both my supervisor and other volunteers such as myself. I have previously struggled with this in the past, when working with a friend and fellow student at college teaching mult-skills. We were very good friends however had very different ideas for the session plan which often conflicted. With Alison leading this session and being the main authoritative figure to the class, this problem could not occur. Having travelled to and from the sessions with another volunteer for the council I built a good relationship, which reflected when we worked together in the classroom.
