A week ago today I graduated from Moray House with my diploma in Primary Education. This one’s for you little Georgia who always dreamed of being a teacher. We made it ✨

The end of the PGDEp! A wonderful year of learning, blessed with the best cohort and teaching team. Next stop Graduation & probation year 🥳

A busy second week of the Easter holidays! We welcomed home baby girl Piper who has been keeping us on our toes 🥰

After experiencing Victorian school last week, we have been writing letters to Queen Victoria to persuade her to consider the rights of the child. I’m so proud of how the children have structured their writing and used their voice to express their opinions! Superstars!! 🤩✨📚✏️ #UoEPGDEp #morayhouse

Primary 4 have been exploring their hidden chimp brains this week. Today we made friends with our chimps to better understand how it affects our emotions. We talked about times our chimp has taken over and how it made us feel. We loved this task and found it so interesting! #UoEPGDEp 🐒💭

Primary 4 time travelled back to a Victorian classroom today! A fully immersive day to help us understand how children were treated. The children had so much fun following the Victorian school rules for a day! #UoEPGDEp 📚✏️🏫🖌️

Our Pizzas are finished! P4 have loved this task as it’s really helped them to visualise and understand sharing equal amounts. I’m so impressed by their enthusiasm and learning! #UoEPGDEp ✨📚✏️

Primary 4 have been hard at work on their first day back! We made pizzas to help visualise fractions as whole numbers and even explored equivalent fractions!
More pizzas to follow… they’re not quite finished baking ✨ #UoEPGDEp

New wall display for P4 starting their fractions work after the half term! We can’t wait to add our own elements to the wall as we learn. 📚✨✏️ #UoEPGDEp

A bittersweet moment, saying goodbye to my superstar P1b’s but returning to uni to prep for the next placement! The most incredible 6 weeks out on placement learning from amazing staff and children. Memories and learning to cherish ✨📚✏️#UoEPGDEp

Teamwork makes the dream work!
A fabulous week exploring pluraliteracies. We looked at the many ways of incorporating languages into other curricular areas this week. So much fun with the team before we head out on placement ☺️ #UoEPGDEp

Week 8 has been a whirlwind!
Placement details released ✅
Literacy in the outdoors planning day ✅
Northern lights captured ✅

The placement count down is on… it feels more exciting than Christmas! ✨🫶🏽

This afternoon we discussed the theoretical perspectives of play and found our own connections and links between the theories and ideas presented to us ✨ @aoifestack.bsky.social @georgiacombe.bsky.social

Exploring theoretical perspectives of play.

A super interesting topic with lots of different connections, so excited for placement 1 in early years! 🧸📚✏️ #UoEPGDEp

End of an amazing week 6!
Today we worked on developing our own games to use in phonics lessons. We came up with picture pairs and looked at matching the first letters of the pictures.

We enjoyed coming up with different strategies and ways to adapt to make it easier or harder 📚✨ #UoEPGDEp

I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of this stunning view from Charteris land! Unbelievably grateful to be studying at UofE Moray house with a truly amazing cohort & teaching faculty 🫶🏽✨☁️
