      My duty’s as a Year 1 teacher allow me to display a whole range of traditional and modern teaching methods. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where my young students can thrive and develop their skills and interests. Every day, I am responsible for planning and delivering exciting and interactive lessons that cater to the unique needs and abilities of each child. Whether I am teaching phonics, numeracy, or creative arts, I try to find creative ways to make learning fun and memorable. I also am a mentor and role model to my students, helping them to build confidence, self-esteem, and a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their lives. I also work closely with parents and colleagues to ensure that every child receives the support and guidance they need to succeed. In my classroom, I have created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages curiosity, exploration, and collaboration. While applying a variety of teaching techniques, such as group work, individual projects, and hands-on activities, to keep our students engaged and motivated. I believe as a year 1 teacher, you have a unique opportunity to shape the future of students and inspire them to achieve their full potential. Your job is not only about imparting knowledge but also about instilling a lifelong love of learning and helping your students to become confident, creative, and responsible individuals. Get ready to make a difference and have a blast doing it! Show less
