Diary of an NQT: Sixteen and a half days

NQTs
With Christmas just around the corner, our NQT diarist is starting to see the progress he has made this term and is making plans for the months ahead...

There are now (as I write this diary entry) sixteen and a half school days left of the first term (not that anyone is counting!).

I have been told by many staff that this is the hardest term and I would agree with them so far. However, while this term has been difficult, everything is feeling in a better flow since half-term.

I feel tasks that I used to have to think about consciously now come naturally. Decisions in lessons about tasks, timing and behaviour are coming much more naturally too, and I am enjoying teaching

A level chemistry much more than I was when I started back in September.
