The end of my placement

So i have finished my industrial placement at Niddrie Primary School, working in the art room. Mainly working with the younger grades. I thoroughly enjoyed my placement working with art teacher Tracey Sawczenko.

I got a great hands on experience in to what being a Primary School art teacher is all about, Tracey was excellent to work with being friendly and and let me use my initiative when working with the children. Tracey thanked me for my time saying what a great help i was and that she thinks i would make an excellent teacher and that when i changed days for a couple of weeks the kids all missed me and kept asking where i was, which was a good sign that i was doing a good job and that they respected me.

Tracey also wrote me an excellent reference, i had a great time working with all the children and believe all though hard work being a teacher or in this case art room teacher would prove quite rewarding and also a fair bit of fun.
