Journal Notes for Practicum 3b.

Week Four

Write your journal in paragraph form. It should be a minimum of 100 words and clearly
illustrated with photographs. Remember, it is your personal account of your thoughts, feelings
and reactions during your time in the preschool. Consequently, you may choose to focus not only
on the discussion points raised in each observation and/or use one, all or none of the following
focus points in your journal.

You can use this table to make notes / jot down ideas during TP. It would also be helpful to
consistently compare this practicum with previous TP experience and reflect on your
professional development with reference to the TP Competencies.

What is your general feeling about TP at the end of the day?

- In the week four, I felt that I am a real teacher for KG 1-B because they never let me go and
they always need me to sit with them and teach them.

Reflect on the duties / activities did you carry out during the preschool today. How do you feel
about your efforts? Was there anything you could have done to improve the quality of the
learning experience for the children?

- I did different activities and game for the children. Children felt enjoy and had fun during my
activities. Children improved when I did challenge games for them.

What was the most interesting activity or strategy you saw your MST use? Why did you think it
was interesting and worth noting/remembering? Compare this with previous TP experience.

- I like when my MST gave the children who behave a star after she finished her lesson because
that made most of the children behave while the teacher teaches them the lesson.

What progress have you made in terms of your own personal targets for TP this semester?
Which TP competencies do you feel you achieved and which do you think that you need to focus
on next time? Discuss ways in which you could do this.

- In this week, I think achieved more reward system for children to take their attention and let
them learn what I want them to learn.
What evidence of learning did you identify/document today? Relate this to the UK EYFS early
learning goals.

- I taught children a various lesson and learned from the. The

first lesson was English letter Ss. The second lesson was Math
number 4. The third lesson was Science about the sun and the
shadow.

What was the most important thing you learnt about the role of the teacher in managing all
aspects of the school day? Compare this with previous TP experience and where possible make
links with college based learning.

- In this week, I learned from my teacher how I should get children attention and how I need to
them to encourage to learn and develop their self.
