Discussion Board Notes- Completed weekly


Week 03
Table 4: TP Discussion Board Notes

How did you feel about TP today/this week? What areas are you focused on and what progress have
you made? Explain.
This is the third week for TP. It was a little bit exciting but a harder than last week. The area that I really
wanted to focus on was how to deliver the information to the children and make the activities align with
the objectives.
What duties / activities did you carry out during the school today? Critically Reflect: Did you feel that
you did a good job?
This week, I carried out 4 activities, all of them are for science. In my opinion the activities were quiet
related to the learning objective and the children were engaging well. Also, my MST liked how I
delivered the lesson to the students. Also, my MST assigned me to sit beside three kids to help them
during the class, and she added one more child. I think I did a great job assessing these four children, as
they were able to follow the lesson instead of sitting doing nothing.
What was the most interesting science activity or strategy you saw? Why did you think it was
interesting and worth noting/remembering?
This week also, there was an activity where children could go out and do an activity. It was interesting
since the children had to go outside to use a telescope and look up the sky and know what the uses of it
are.
What did you try out? Was it successful? Why/why not? Which TP competencies do you feel you
achieved and which do you think that you need to focus on next time?
I did activities as individuals. It was successful as the students were working on them. The TP
competencies that I achieved this week is that I was punctual at coming to school, attending assembly
and being prepared for the lessons. Next week, I will focus on new goals.
What was the most important thing you learnt about students or teaching science today? Can you
think of any way you could better engage students in any activity you saw today?
To keep the students engaged in the class by giving more than one activity, asking questions depending
on their levels.
Critically Reflect: Identify an aspect of your own behaviour (e.g. time / behaviour management) that
you feel you could improve upon. Discuss ways in which you could improve this.
There are some problems with managing the classroom behavior. But to manage it I used the dojo. Also,
I have to do more inquiry based learning activity.
What are your agreed responsibilities for your next day/week in TP? Be specific
To plan a detailed but simple lesson plan, which would be easy to follow. And to make the lesson
objective able to achieve.
