I believe in a comfortable and caring environment in the classroom for learners to reach their goals. Learning is a flow of growth with the mind and body and does not come over night, its a continues approach , to keep climbing bit by bit to get to the top.

Personally, rewarding learners after either a long term of hard work, after a test they improved is something all teachers should consider. It creates a drive for them to want to achieve, do their best with the constant feeling of support from his/her teacher.

Whilst, im all for having fun when learning I am constantly aware of restlessness and when learners are not concentrating. This results in a small amount of discipline such as being given work that requires silence and individual activity.

After, I stuck up the resources the girls used, with labels for them to remind themselves of what they have just learnt.

A favourite lesson of mine that showed a great amount of learning styles in one lesson was the Science lesson on, The Water Cycle. I made a physical water cycle that the girls had to physically do outside the classroom showing them the properties of the water cycle.

Springfield is a catholic school therefore giving me room to explore my faith through teaching it. Below I had the girls create a A4 baseball formatted card giving a biography of St. Mother Teresa.

This year, I have had the opportunity to do a learnership at Springfield Convent Primary School. I have absolutely enjoyed every minute being exposed to an all girls environment.

All of the places and schools where I have done community service, the learners are remarkably appreciative. They are so grateful that they have been given the privilege to learn from someone new, at any time.

Being able to give back to other schools who are less fortunate was a spectacular experience for me. Here, a group of student teachers, youth leaders and myself visited the children of Bonnie Town for a day of games, treats and connecting.

I strongly believe that learners being able to experiment different meths and activities on their own is important with their developmental abilities. This was a Science task I did this year 2019 with my Grade 4 learners at Springfield.

It is amazing to be able to instruct learners on what to do and supervise them when completing a task. It fills me with great joy that learners are able to follow through and work together under your management.

Able to go on camps with learners and help them conquer their fears as well as teaching them how important it is to listen to one another and work as a team. In this photo I helped and motivated this learner to conquer her fear of heights.

During my practice teaching I created “Positive quote Fridays”. I would hand out an end of week quote reflecting the challenges the learners experienced that past week, which would provide them with a platform to discuss the quote and the meaning behind it, while at the same time creating a space for them to clear their minds for the upcoming week.

Here I demonstrated a History Lesson where learners brainstorm and write down all their information about Nelson Mandela. They were instructed to build different levels of important information starting from the inner circle to the outer circle. This remained up in the classroom for them to view their findings.

With our society becoming more digitally inclined, I have noticed a decline in writing and book reading skills amongst learners. My vision is to encourage an equal balance of these learning styles, which could help those who experience learning barriers like dyslexia. I believe all learners can do what they think they cannot - not only learning from their successes, but also from their mistakes and failures.

Teachers have a great responsibility as the work we put into educating and expanding the minds of the learners ultimately impacts on their future successes and the person they grow up to becoming. Promoting days where learners make sandwiches for the less fortunate could add to this.

During my first year I completed my practice teaching at Rylands Primary School followed by teaching experience this year at Micklefield Primary School. I also worked at Blomvlei Primary School in Hanover Park, which was a real eye-opener. This experience had a huge impact on my character and understanding of why I wanted to be a teacher.

Throughout the three years I have studied education, my passion and foundation has continued to expand. The experiences I’ve attained with learners of unique backgrounds created a constant learning environment for me.
