This term we have three student teachers joining us for the first four weeks of term four at Casebrook.
Mrs Kennedy is in Room 1, Miss Wilkes in Room 2 and Miss Hall in Room 12. We have enjoyed having them at school and being able to learn new things from them. We hope they have a great placement here with us and we hope to see them again.
We asked Miss Wilkes some questions about being a student teacher and have recorded her answers.
Q:How did you feel on your first day of Casebrook?
A: I felt excited to be able to teach the year 8 students but I was nervous at the same time. I couldn’t wait to start to start teaching the class and getting to know all the students.
Q:Do you feel like you fit in at Casebrook?
A: Yes, because all the students and staff were very welcoming when I came and everyone is very friendly and supportive.
Q:What made you want to be a teacher?
A: I have always wanted to be a teacher since I was little. I love working with children it’s always been something I've been passionate about.
Q:What is your favourite subject to teach and why?
A: I’ve enjoyed maths and I love to do PE.
Q:Are you surprised how children behave in a classroom?
A: No because I've just recently left high school myself so I know how students behave. I am impressed with the behaviour at Casebrook.
