Crindau School, Newport

Year 3 & 4

This was an interesting oppurtunity, to teach in the school that my grandmother had attended some 70 to 80 years earlier.

I'm sure the school has changed in that time and although it seemed a nice enough school it wasn't a great day. It was typical of inner city children street wise and full of attitude. Some of the kids were lovely but others were not interested in being there.
For the first time I found that there was no planning left which seemed odd considering the booking was made three weeks ago. Apparently the teacher whose class it is, is merticulous and well organised. My initial view was anal retentive, masking over inadequacies.

I will get a fuller opinion when I return for three days next week with the same class.
