As a supply cover teacher, the one thing you might miss out on is being involved in events such as any charity school events; these include Children in Need; Comic Relief/Red Nose Day; Christmas Productions; Non-uniform days; School Fairs.
Once again, a slow start to the autumn Term. Waiting for the teaching door to open and the journey to begin.
Note to self! Must remember to go away on holiday in September as there is very little supply work about at the beginning of term.
Teaching is always a challenge; each day is different as well as each class you teach. We are all individuals and teaching is individual. Lessons that go well with one class may not work so well with another group. Factors such as the weather (rain; snow; wind; sunshine), or circumstances in your day or that of the pupils will alter how it goes.
As I sat drinking my coffee, in the café in the park, I watched as groups of children passed by with their teachers and I smiled.
