Teacher reflection: Not an ideal lesson to be assessed on but given the circumstances I think it ran well. I was flexible and
adapted to the change in situation. I believe Lisa and I also collaborate together very well and I am
grateful to bounce ideas off of her. I am glad I followed through on my promise of having a ‘fun’ last
lesson as it was very rewarding to see every student actively involved, very engaged and enjoying
themselves.
Warm Up Activity: First time delivered to a group of students but I think they enjoyed it. I think the
instructions were clear, more explanation on technicalities could have prevented so many minor
questions being asked. Suggestion to have played across the room makes a lot of sense and was
something I simply didn’t think of, the first few rounds were good but then it became almost
impossible.
Lesson Closure: Due to the combined classes and overlapping lessons there was no lesson closure (not
my decision) however in efforts to combat this I did go and stand at the door and dismiss the students
wishing them a happy Easter and to enjoy the holidays.
Overall I was happy with how this lesson panned out, it was conducted in a safe and supportive
environment which maximised participation (Jail Break rule). The students were all very engaged and
enjoyed themselves which as a teacher is wonderful to watch!
Improve my planning and preparation. I feel like I have let my planning slip a little bit this term and
this is reflective in the quality of my lessons. I think this is partially a result of term beginning so
quickly and not having a structure/sequence plan prior to beginning the year. The sports for Term 2
have already been organised so now I have no excuses on having less organised lessons.
