Hi Everyone

I have just applied for a Teaching Assistant position in the same school i have been doing voluntary work at. I work with y2/3 however this job is working with y5/6. The Headteacher said there will be questions on the upper curriculum which i know NOTHING about. PLEASE can someone help me with this and answers to? i have got butterflies just thinking about it!!

Posted reply on your post on the inerviews at 11 thread. Try looking at the training threads(Look at list on TAchat forum index) I found them a fund of information. Good luck and let us know how you got on.

thanks.

just had letter saying i have interview on tuesday 8th july. got to take in a object suitable for y5/6 and talk about it to the panel

please any suggestions would very helpful

If you are artist I would make a box with some little fabric bags inside with draw strings.I would say this is a worry box which I would introduce at the beginning of term.Any time the Yr 6 's had a worry they could write it on a piece of paper place it inside one of the bags and put it in the box.
Yr 6's have lots of little worries about moving on to Secondary, puberty,changes in friendship groups etc.By offering this opportunity the pupils could ask a question without seeming foolish. Each day the bags would be checked and on a Friday suitable questions could be read out and answered.You could put a certain coloured bag for placing questions they don't want read out but an answer could be given 1:1.

For Curriculum Topics go to the Standards Site and go to YR 6

How would you answer this question?

How would you promote equal opportunities in the classroom?

interview on tuesday and i'm not sure how i'd answer this !!!!!

PLEASE HELP ME!!!
