Week 5: Reflection

Ok so I've been trying to upload a recording for 4 days and I have given up. The amount of time it has taken to try and figure it out with absolutely no results is definitely not worth it, and it has also made my blog post extremely late. So if anyone knows how to post a recording, let me know.

So the last week has been pretty chilled, I gave the grade 8s a class on electrolysis and I've been busy teaching the grade 11s about the respitory system. I absolutely love teaching the one grade 11 class, they are the larger class. There are 32 of them with only 3 english students, but they are so much more responsive than the other class. It really is like night and day, they are inquisitive and delighted whereas the other class is sullen, broody and just plain uninterested.  I suppose that loving all my classes would be too much to ask for, but I would at least like to like them.

The whole week was generally very quite, I was no longer teaching mathematical literacy  which I plan to begin again this week, so I had a lot of time to focus on the science classes. Which was quite nice. I'm not really enjoying the mathematical literacy,  I find it incredibly frustrating to teach and mind numbingly boring to prepare, but its too late to drop it now and with my assessment coming up on the 2nd, I really need to get back into it.

Friday was 40 days for the matrics so the whole school was quite excited, and the matrics underwent a sex change to mark the occasion by doing a uniform swop and cross dressing, there should be a photo in an earlier post.

Overall my week was very good, but I was sick the whole week and am still sick now. The doctor has said that I have developed asthma and allergic rhinitis which I never had before, I've never even had hay fever before! So I really am starting to feel like Worcester is killing me, andi get more certain with each wheezy breath, how is everyone else?
