Finally got a job
I went for my 5th teaching interview yesterday and have finally got a job. They said I was a creative teacher and loved the drama and art work I had done in school and they also loved that I had a placement at the BFI andhope film is something I can itegrate into the curriculum. Thet said they wanted me as soon as I left the interview and I only had to wait 2hrs to find out that I got the post.

It's a 1 form entry school in Mitcham and is about 35 minutes walk away. I'll be teaching Year 2. It's a contract for maternity cover but there is a strong possibilty that it may become permannent. The headteacher also said there are other staff changes in the pipeline so she is hopefully going to tell me sooner rather than later whether it will be a permannent post.

I'm going in on 3oth June in the morning to discuss what the children are like in my new class and I'll be spending the day with my new class on 17th July. I'll get paid for those days but not until September.

I'm very excited as it will be my first 'career' job and will earn decent money (25k starting salary). But maybe not that decent for the amount of hours I have to put in.

I'm only 1 week away from finishing my final teaching practice and I'm knackered but there is still so much to do!

Can't wait til my summer holiday in August. I'll be go to Vegas woo!
