My various experiences working in Primary schools has thoroughly developed my skills in various aspects across the teaching field to an extent that I am extremely passionate in
taking responsibility when it comes to ensuring that children receive a nurturing and
encouraging environment when learning. During my time at Moorcroft special school I was
given an immense responsibility to manage the children's behaviour during lunch and break
times which meant was heavily endorsed in ensuring their safety at all times, supervising
all their activities throughout my duty. Given the children at the school, I was often led to
prevent and manage their at times violent and also atypical behaviour, having to manage it
correctly so that no child is put at danger. This involved having to be extensively patient

responsibility of keeping all of them within a safe, and also friendly environment. Therefore
through this experience, I was able to to. develop such skills of patience as well as finding
effective methods of managing a lot of children. in spite of outgoing behaviour. I was able to
further put these skills into experience when fulflling a playground duty at Hounslow
primary school, where having already previously understood the potential situations that
could arise at a developed level, I therefore was aware of any problems. This involved
moments where children insisted on playing indoors unsupervised, however my patience
and adamancy in the rules which I knew would protect them, meant I was able to tackle
hese insists and keep them happily engaging with each other outdoors.

more improvements in anticipation of more rewards. Currently I do 1 to 1 tuition for all

that my responsibilities are fulfilled to the utmost of my ability.
