Catching up and moving forward!

After finally getting back into the flow of work life and everything else this week, I have finally managed to catch up with peers and paula very briefly!

Firstly this week I caught up with Lauren. We discussed where we were up too how we are feeling as we embark on module 3. It was so nice to finally catch up and discuss feelings of uncertainty at this present moment in time, but also the eagerness to get underway with what we are doing and researching. Despite looking into different topics we are still keeping regular contact as we have both found this really helpful throughout the second module, and I think I can say for both of us that it's really beneficial to speak through ideas with someone, and also feel that there is someone there if you are in a bit of a mad flap! 

Secondly this week (despite only being able to be there for the first 30 mins) we had the first module 3 session of the study period. We managed to discuss where we were all up too and our ideas thus far. One thing that I specifically took away with me was something that paula said "it's okay if things are still a little cloudy at the moment" I can relate to this as currently I know exactly what I am looking into however the end product is a little hazy, but I just need to keep telling my self that is fine for now. We also spoke about what else we are taking with us through this process I explained how when doing observation I am picking up tips and advise and reflecting upon it and will be taking some of these things with me when I commence my pgce course in September. I am planning to catch up with Lauren regarding the rest of the session. 

Finally I have finally managed to have a hat with Skye. We are looking at similar topics and have just found out a little ore about how we are each going about our research etc. We plan to meet again once we have under taken some research to discuss our findings and how we may plan to go forward. 

So it's been a pretty productive week for me!! Would love to hear how everyone else is getting on! :) 

Have a great weekend! 

Feeling a little overwhelmed

So I'm not sure about anyone else, but I am for sure feeling a little bit overwhelmed with what is to come in the next 12 weeks or so!! anyone else feeling the same? whether you are just embarking on Module one, two or like myself about to start Module 3.

I think I do feel slightly more apprehensive as due to being unwell I missed the orientation sessions last week (typical over the half term!!) However, I have read some of the blogs that went up after the session which did ease my mind a little, and I do think once I have spoken with the rest of the Module 3's and Paula on Friday I will feel a little more on track.

I have managed to respond to my feedback and and starting to get under way with observations and such, but I feel like I just need to get cracking now.

I am also slowly hacking my way through some more literature too!

So here's a shout out; My inquiry title is: The Magical Realm: Exploring the Power of Play for Dance Teaching, and I am looking how this can benefit age groups other than pre school, going up to the upper key stage one age. So if anyone else is looking into a similar topic it would be great to have a chat and see what ideas you may have and what angle you are taking this from? Would be great to hear from you!! :)
