NQTs
Our NQT diarist gets a taste of life as a primary school teacher as she lends a hand with their summer production...

The exam season finish line is slowly appearing on the horizon and my time after school is increasingly being occupied by countless rehearsals for our summer musical, which looks somewhat shambolic at present but I’m hoping everything will be “all right on the night”.

Thankfully I’m not directing this one, and with the volume of choreography I’m currently creating as I attempt to include as many students as possible I begin to wonder whether I would ever be able to direct a show. 

Losing students from rehearsals, organising set and costume, devising the acting – too much for me to consider. 

Although I had better get my head around it fairly soon as I’ve come to learn the Christmas production is going to be all on me! (Better to be well-prepared and organised than in a last minute rush I suppose.)
