Today it is Takeover Day! It is really enjoyable because we get to do Miss Deacon’s job. The jobs that we have done today have included reading buddies, marking literacy and numeracy books, leading starters and plenaries of lessons. We have also done things like taking the register, calling out names at home time, leading the rest of the class out to play and taking lessons. Despite the fact that this is quite fun, it is also quite tiring. Now we know how Miss Deacon and Timi feel when they are teaching.
“I felt like a member of staff” Gabriel.
“I felt like it was my first day of teaching” Araya.
“I felt in charge” Renee.
“It was almost as if we had grown up over night” Eleanor.
“Even though I was marking the books, I felt like the boss” Musa.
“I knew I had done lots of hard work because I felt tired” Leon.
“I felt as if I was an actual teacher” Vanessa.
“I was very impressed with myself for acting like a teacher” Shakirah.
“The day went so quickly because I was having so much fun” Nancy.
“Even though today was very tiring, I still want a job as a teacher” Lola.
Today was really fantastic, we wish it could happen more often!
