This week on placement I was asked to plan the same as the previous week plus another lesson for 6th years. The first two lessons went really well again and was growing in confidence when taking these classes. In the third class this week I had been asked to plan a gymnastic session which was completely out of my comfort zone as I have barely ever done gymnastics never mind taught it. So I was really nervous about taking it. I had used my experience from previous weeks when I shadowed the PE teachers sessions. The session went surprisingly well, however there were a few techniques that the pupils showed me up with. Taking all these lessons will help me gain experience in coaching different sports in the future and having to deal with different situations in the classroom will also help me for when I become a PE teacher. For the rest of the day I shadowed and helped out in lessons with the PE teacher, whilst taking notes for each lesson. For next week on placement I have asked to plan 4 lessons this time which are for the same three lessons as this week and a volleyball lesson which I am looking forward to.
