Hello all, I am currently a TA in year 3, a was a TA for the last 3 years, begging with next year I will take the role of homeroom teacher in Reception. For be this course was a good course to begin with. Easy to get trough it. Is like a skeleton / sketch of main ideas/information that you need or can guide you when planning/observing etc. It is also giving you games ideas/activities ideas/ sites/app where you can search for more. It helped me a lot to make a base to start with, I've put down so many ideas and also from here I developed others. You can just choose what's fits you! I definitely recommend it! Good luck!
