  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I was shadowing for teachers in a primary school. My role was similar to that of a teaching assistant. I helped children with reading, writing, maths and languages and assisted in organising lunchtime activities. I was also involved in leading assembly sessions. A typical day started at 8.30 and finished at 3.30.
