Well another week over and a new one about to begin. Last week was a complete write off with regards to ICT in school but i'm positive this week will be better. It's our comenius week in school and as i mentioned before Nursery's country is Latvia. On Friday the plan for the week involved making Rye bread ( a Latvian delicacy that i couldn't take to) and doing lots of Latvian crafts. However, I'm hoping that there will be an opportunity for me to show the children where Latvia is using the internet even if it's in our circle time after the register. I've been on some sites today and found a couple that would be nice for the children to see. I'm also able to show my photostory that i'm looking forward to and on Thursday technology allowing we are hoping to have a live link up to our fellow comenius countries. I can't wait to see the children's faces if that goes to plan.
Although i've done my resource and carried out the lessons which went really well and that the teacher was pleased with i look at everyone else's resources and panic that mine isn't in anyway as detailed. I do feel confident that the resource enabled the objective to be met and keep reminding myself that i am only in the Nursery class and they are only there for 2 and a half hours a day. By the time they sit for the register, have toast and milk, tidy up, go outdoors there's probably only about an hour to an hour and a quarter of actual teaching time (or should i say learning through play time) and when there's 30 in the class a focused activity can take the whole week to complete. Sometimes 2 weeks. Eh oh, i just have to keep telling myself that my lesson was aimed at mainly 3 year olds and if i am given the opportunity next year of moving out of Nursery i'll have lots of ideas ready to go to the teacher with. Thats if i keep practising and don't forget how to use everything i've learnt.
